A Discourse Concerning the SOVEREIGN Internal Balsam: Wherein is Intimated the Ingredients, and Method of its Preparation; And a Satisfactory Account given of its great Virtue, Efficacy, and Usefulnesse. With the manner of taking it, for the Cure, and Prevention of most Diseases, incident to Humane Bodies. By Thomas See, PHYSICIAN. — Ignoti Nulla Cupido. With Allowance. LONDON Printed by Thomas Mabb, for Henry Eversden, at the Greyhound in St. Paul's Church Yard, 1665. To the Ingenious, Thomas See Physician, upon his Sovereign Internal BALSAM. YOur Polycreston doth its Regency Maintain in Humane Bodies. Nature doth Freely submit unto its Sovereignty, And joineth forces with it, thus they both Sweetly Combine for to preserve the Throne Of Life, from th' Empire of the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉. What can one hand contribute to that Cause In which you are Engaged? being known so good, That you already have a full applause, And a vote general, by none withstood; Experience having gained the Vulgar Tribe, And your Discourse, the Learned made subscribe. If ever Modesty did ill become Its owner; here, 'tis to be seen, wherefore Concerning Physic in this Total Sum, When all was not too much, said you no more? Though you by this would shun all Eulogies, Yet shall my Trumpet sound, at such a Prize. H. Y. M. D. To the Learned and Industrious, Doctor Thomas See, concerning his Sovereign Internal BALSAM. WHilst others Pride themselves in Airy Parts, Your Acts Proclaim you are Master of Arts; And which is more, that you have took degree, Not only in Learning, but Humility. For me to Celebrate your Balsom's Worth Is but lost labour, who can set it forth? Except yourself, 'tis only Light shows Light, Caesar alone could Cesar's Actions writ. Should I avouch it, merited to be More Catholic than is the Roman See: Or if i'th' Pagan World, thou hadst done this, Thou hadst not scaped an Apotheosis; Who'd take a Poet's word? but now his Oath Is superadded, you may credit both. G. O. M. L. A Satisfactory Discourse, Concerning the Sovereign Internal BALSAM OF Thomas See of London, Physician. Penned by the Author of it. IT was no difficult Task to presage what entertainment a Matter of this Nature would meet with, among those to whom only a naked Advertisement concerning it should be presented; all such pretences being through the fraudulent Practices of some Presumptuous and unskilful persons brought into almost an universal Odium and Suspicion of Imposture. That according to the different Tempers, Complexions, Interests, and Inclinations of People there should be produced as great a variety of censures is a natural consequence, and accordingly expected. As for the Opinions of the Vulgar whose Ignorance inspires them with the greatest presumption, I shall send them to School to learn the meaning of that familiar saying, Qui pauca novit citò pronunciat. As for those whose Ability qualifies them for competent Judges, with such this enterprise will gain a favourable construction, except they are over-byassed by interest to a partial Verdict: Unto these howsoever inclined, I shall suggest that worthy sentence of the profound Naturalist, Doctor Harvey in his Exercitation of Conception, being uncertain how his Judgement in that case would be resented; Viri docti & ingeniosi de eâ cogitant, fastosi, per me, rejiciant, & petulanti qui sunt splene liberè irrideant. The motives whatsoever they were which induced me at first to have my Balsam publicly exposed to Sale, (though not possibly without some reflection) and now to give some satisfaction to all whose concernment it may be to make use thereof are not pertinent to my present Theme, only I shall not omit that next to that principal end which is to bear sway in all the undertake of a Christian, a design of gratitude to an obliging person had the greatest prevalency, whose Fidelity, Care, Charge and Industry in the preparation of it, will not be ever-liberally compensated by its advantage; To which might be superadded, my frequent Avocations from a constant and uninterupted pursuit of practice by the importunity of more urgent Affairs, make meless capable of rendering it so publicly useful as it justly deserves. Hereupon I was the more easily inclined to attempt its Publication by the Press, that it might thereby arrive to their knowledge, to whom otherwise distance of place would have made it incommunicable and unprofitable. If I am not mistaken, in this single composition I have attained the scope, which was designed, by the most deservedly Renowned Sennertus in his Elaborate Treatise; De consensu inter Chymicos & Galenicos, etc. The Ingredients of my Balsam are vulgarly called, Galenical, (viz.) those which belong to the Vegetative Kingdom, and are the choicest of those Pectoral, Cephalical, and Cardiaque Simples which have been successively transmitted by the Arabic and Grecian Authors to posterity, in the particular Enumerations of their Virtues, and in their most approved prescriptions with so liberal an encomium of their Excellency, as can scarcely admit of an hyperbole. The process, or modus praeparandi, is of a far later date, being wholly Spagyrical, an Art wherein the Ancients were not very well Versed; neither in relation to internal uses hath a Medicine of this kind been excogitated by any of our modern, and more sagatious Chemists, whose Discourses and Pharmacopaea I have perused. And if I assume to myself the sole Invention of it, I shall in no wise diminish the Reputation of those whose other Essays and Experiments in this Noble Mystery bring them in a full harvest of applause. In the culling out such Simples which were appropriate to those Parts whose Distempers were intended to be extirpated, or alleviated by mine internal Balsam, I have purposely declined the election of any of those which are either of a Narcotic or Corrosive Quality, being well ware, that if their pernicious, and fatal effects should be put into the scale against their applauded, but accidental, successes which would preponderate, and made constant observations, and iterated experiments, that basis on which this Medicine is founded. If a Medicine, whose matter, and method, are so worthy commendation, may not be ushered into the World by a small Discourse to intimate its usefulness; to remove the prejudices to which it may be obnoxious through the ignorance and diffidence of many, without a severe censure from the Learned, one may easily augur, how it would put a period to all industrious endeavours after the improvement of the present state of things to an higher degree of perfection, and introduce a Supine, and slothful disposition into many Active and Public Spirits, did they not slight their Entertainment in the World, and aquiesce in their being conscious to themselves that their attempts are laudable; If I am charged as a Criminal, our Patriarch Galen shall be my Compurgatour: whose words in his Tract, De usu Respirationis, are these, 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉: But I have expectation of other Treatment from those who are judicious in this present case, to whose Reason and Learning upon an impartial survey of the ensuing Discourse it will approve itself, especially considering it is not destitute of the universal suffrage, and concurrent testimony of the most Credible Writers, both of the past and present age, whose Ability in Physic hath been indisputable, and hath in effect their tacit consent, and commendamus, which few or none of those who are friends to the Art of Physic, and instructed in its principles will disallow. As for those, who are through want of Learning unable to judge of this Medicine, by those Rules which are proper to Scholars, they may soon satisfy themselves, not only by a cheap, but advantageous experience of its Worth. That Books have been written, not only concerning the Virtues of Compositions, but also that single Simples have been celebrated by select Discourses, is not strange to them that are but slenderly acquainted with Physical Authors, whose Examples I have in this present Treatise, I hope inoffensively imitated. And although by a copious induction of instances I might give to many abundant satisfaction of its efficacy, in the accomplishing all those ends for which it propounded to be administered; yet I shall for the present decline that way, not because of its savouring of Empericisme, and being unsuitable to this occasion of my writing, but because another opportunity may shortly offer itself, when among other Experiments they shall be mentioned, and in this paper make use of that way of arguing which is dependant upon the testimony of Authors which I prefer to the attestation of any single and private persons, it being no ways probable that those which have by the experience of m●ny years practise throughly acquainted themselves with the nature of these Simples, should attribute to them such a degree of efficacy wherewith they are not endowed. I readily believe that none which have the first fruits of Reason, but will rather be satisfied with this way of evidence, than the other which I have omitted to insist on, as being more obnoxious ●o mistakes and fallacies; I am not at all doubtful, but if Reader it should be your lot to be afflicted with any of those Distempers, at which this Balsam is levelled, that upon the ●aking of it according to the directions, you will subscribe ●our probatum est; provided you take it for such a considerable time, and with such circumstances, as the nature of ●our melady doth require; for none can reasonably expect ●hat their bodies which have been some years decaying, ●hould be immediately repaired, or those vicious habits of ●ny of the viscera which plead a kind of prescription should ●e as suddenly exterminated, as encountered; or that the innate heat, when almost suffocated and extinguished, should ●pon the first approach of assistance recover its former activity; If any intent to use my Balsam with such expectations, let them first prepare themselves by a Dose or two of hellebore, and then proceed. As Nature doth not act per saltum, but is gradual in all ●er operations, so this Balsam intended for her assistance ●n the bodies of Men, is prepared to such a degree of working, as is agreeable thereto, and may move with it, there ●…ing not one Ingredient in the Composition any ways violent or molestful, but all have such an amicable correspondence with it, and easy insinuations to fortify her against ●he secret invasions of Life, which lodge in the supplies of ●he radical moisture, that I know no Medicine more justly ●erits the Title of Universal than this: For though … ong and violent cathartics in many cases prudently administered, have been seconded with a good Effect; yet I … ppose that in most Diseases 'tis greater security to attempt ●●e Restauration by Cordial, Pectoral, and Alexipharmacal ●eans, which will gently blow up the sparks of Life, which ●re left into a 〈◊〉, then adventure their dissipation or ex … ction by too strong a blast▪ That Roman is not to be forgotten, but imitated, Qui cun●tando r●stituit rem. I do not pretend to any Catholic Medicine, which upon its first entrance into the body will compose and silence all the Tumultuous and Impetuous Efferations of the Humours (if with their leave who boast themselves the Masters of it, I may so call them) and reduce every extravagant, and disorderly particle to its proper place. Was I to dispute, not for victory, but the truth upon that question, an detur panacea vera, I should choose the negative, having as little credit for him that affirms all Diseases to be cured by the same Medicine, as for him that should say the same shoe will fit every man's foot; but he that would lose his labour in the further pursuit of this subject, may repair to the Rhodomontadoes of some arrogant Chymiasters, or to the Fanatique Chimaeras of the Brethren of the Rosy Cross, Dic quibus interris & eris mihi magnus Apollo. That a Polychreston may be prepared, whose virtues may extend to at least those Diseases which have affinity with one another, hath been in all Ages uncontroverted. The divers operations of some Simples so vulgarly known, must needs inform us how powerful and comprehensive their efficacy may be, when Artificially knit together. I have been very cautious in the Enumeration of the Diseases which are Curable by my Balsam, that I may not wrong myself in the abusing of others, to a belief of receiving benefit only by this (when there may be an urgent necessity of addressing themselves to the use of other Medicines for the promotion of their health,) and so trappan them with flattering hopes into their winding-sheets, by the promise of relief in such maladies, to whose extirpation it is not accommodated. Most of those Distempers for which this Medicament can be bonâ fide commended, are not of a very different nature, but originally the same, though under various Appellations, and have not that Heterogeneity, which at first view seems to appertain unto them, there being little, but another name or symptom on which to ground a distinction, for the Remedy of which, no essential alteration hath been yet made in medicinal prescriptions, which if it had not been reserved for another Generation, or not at all to be accomplished, would have hardly escaped the Essays of some late Ingenious and Industrious Artists, whose Anatomical Inventions and Mechanical Hypotheses have given just occasion to put a difference between that Sect of Physicians which have hither to been known by the Title of Dogmatical and Rational, in distinction from those other two of Empirical and Methodical, and make a fourth entirely Rational, not at all depending upon those futil and insipid suppositions which hitherto have so much obtained in Physic through their oscitancy, who had a greater share in the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 then 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉. If their be any Maladies which have not the same source, which yet are mentioned, as under the influence of my Balsam, they are subject to the same method of Cure, so far at least as I have promised help thereby. The parts unto which my Balsam is Appropriate, and those Distempers, against which it is Effectual; I shall reduce to six heads, and accordingly give you an account with as much brevity, and perspicuity, as the nature of the subject requires. First I assert it is a Sovereign Medicine for all Distempers incident to the Lungs, as difficulty of Breathing, Spitting of Blood, Astma's, ulcerations, Coughs, Consumptions, Phtisique, Hoarseness, Defluxions of Rheums, and Obstructions of the Chest. In this part of its virtue which respects all pectoral Diseases I cannot be too Confident, nor fear the being over-lavish in its Commendation, partly because in the nature of the Ingredients there is a peculiar tendency to aichieve the forementioned ends, they being such which open Obstructions, Attenuate Viscons, and Clammy Phlegm, purify the Lungs, Heal all inward Excoriations, incrassate thin and acrid Humours, abate the violence of the Cough, and further expectoration, there being nothing which is necessary to Complete a pectoral Medicine deficient; but principally, because of the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that singular advantage it hath in the present case (being a pure and sincere Elixir, or Balsam) above all those common Remedies which almost every Apothecary's File is full of, I mean lohoch's, Electuaries, Pills and Lozanges, all which are generally so charged with powders, as render them altogether inept to be conveyed to the Lungs, the nearest way thither, and if the Virtue of them do ever Arrive there, it must be, Viribus multùm castratis, Exceedingly Debilitate, it being impossible for these kind of Medicaments to come to their journey's end, without several Concoctions, there being no way for the immediate passage of any thing to the Lungs except Air, and those subtle Effluviums of bodies, which are of almost as tenuious and rare a nature; hence it is, that a gross and foggy Air excites the Lungs to that violent motion, produceth a Cough, because of its unsuitableness to their nature. And after the Cure of Consumptive Persons hath been attempted, by a tedious and successeless method of Physic, the Asylum, to which at last they are counselled, to betake themselves, is a clear and sweet Air. In order to the Cure of Consumptions, and all Pulmoniaque Distempers, my Balsam being frequently contained in the mouth, Impregnates the Air which is continually drawn into the cavity of the Chest, with healing and bals●mique Atoms, which correct those sharp and saline particles, (wherewith the Air about Great Cities especially is so replete,) that are so fatal and pernicious to humane nature; and in this particular, it justly challengeth the precedency of those Vulgar Medicines, whose speedy Deglutition makes them unfit for the obtaining this present end, (viz) the Melioration of the Air. To this I shall add, that next to the direct and speedy conveyance of its Virtue to the Lungs in a vehicle of Air, of whose conveniency for that purpose I have already given an intimation, there is another way, (if I may interpose to give in my Judgement among the Learned) which I cannot baptise with a fit Name, than Filtration, which naturally succeeds the gentle and gradual dissolution of this Balsam in those parts which are adjacent to the Orifice by which the Air passeth to the Lungs, that this may be effectually performed by a Balsam or Essence, not clogged with Pulps and Pcuders is obvious to a weak apprehension, but how possible to be effected by Lozanges, lohoch's, etc. whose total Virtue consists in Powders, is difficult to imagine, except it be urged, that by commixtion, the powders communicate some part of their Virtue to the more liquid matter; but how small a portion it partakes of, is known by so frequent experience, that to offer any Arguments for its proof, would be as needless as easy. In any ulcerations of the Lungs, and extreme weakness and emaciation of Body, take it dissolved in any convenient Liquors, the quantity let it be about an ordinary Nutmeg; thus taken Morning and Night, it doth by degrees render the blood more Balsamique, yea in time, a consolida to itself. In the other Distempers of the Lungs, let the quantity of a large Pea be once every hour or two dissolved by degrees in the mouth. Secondly, 'Tis an effectual Antidote against the Plague, Small Pox, Measles, Pestilential Fevers, or any other Infectious Disease, or Unwholesome Airs. Would I expatiate upon each of those classes of Maladies, to which it is necessary that a little be spoken, I should exceed the limits by which this Discourse is to be bounded; therefore I shall but briefly touch them, and pass them over. No Treacle or Mithridate is a greater preservativite than this, especially if taken in a glass of Sack, it taking as it were, first possession of the Heart, fortifies it powerfully against the virulency of all manner of contagion; for such purposes take it only in a Morning, or at such times as any danger approaches, and be secure. Thirdly, It quickens the Animal Spirits, Easeth pains of the Head, strengthens the Memory, helps the Megrim, and all Dizziness and Giddiness, and doth equally extend itself to all Distempers of the Brain, whose Original is to be assigned to Coldness, Moisture, or Obstruction, it being of a subtle and penetrating Nature easily pervades the genus nervosum, and accordingly communicates its Virtues thereunto. Let it be taken every morning in the quantity of a large Hasel nut, and if you fast after it till Noon, it will supply the want of a Breakfast, or Morning's draught. Fourthly, It promotes Digestion, helps disposition to Vomit, expels wind, takes away fainting fits, corrects the Crudities of the Stomach, and is beneficial in all its Infirmities; there is nothing in it which exceeds that degree of warmth, which is necessary to the Stomachical concoction, which moderate quality of it gives just ground to commend the use of it to all sorts of Persons without exception of any Age or Sex, or Constitution whatsoever. For these purposes take the quantity of a small Nut, or more, Morning and Evening, and before and after each Meal. Fifthly, 'Tis of Excellent use in all Surfeits, any kind of Fever, or Ague, Cramps, Aches, Colds, being dissolved in Posset-Ale, to the quantity of a large Nutmeg, and the party taking it, put into a breathing sweat for three or four hours: It's usefulness in these maladies depends upon those Bezoartique and Alexipharmacal Ingredients, which do powerfully assist Nature to subdue all that malignity, which hath seized upon either blood or spirits, and force it out by Transpiration; it may be daily repeated where there is occasion, without fear of any impairing of strength by it. Sixthly, It tends much to the easing pains of the Stone, difficulty and sharpness of Urine, the Colic, and all gripe of the Bowels, and any windy and flatulent Distemper, it corrects the windiness and rawness of milk in them which give suck, 'tis a great restorative of decayed strength, good to prevent Abortion, to give Children for the Wind and Convulsions; in all these Diseases let it be used according as necessity requires, and as your own discretion shall direct you; after this large enumeration of Infirmities and Sicknesses to be remedied by my Balsam, in lieu of being too extensive, I must end with a nonnulla desunt. That all which hath hitherto been spoken, may appear not to be gratis dictum; I shall give a Description of the Thing itself, in a manner not so abstruse, but those which have Ability, Opportunity, and Curiosity, may by an Industrious Inquisition into the Authors here after mentioned, which give in their Suffrage to the Virtues attributed to my Balsam, give a very fair conjecture at least, at the ingredients of it, or be satisfied with its Usefulness. Yet I do not value it at so cheap a rate, as to prostitute it to the view of every careless Reader, 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉: must be understood before this can be guessed at. To avoid the frequent mention of the same Authors, and the repetition of the Virtues attributed to each Ingredient of my Balsam; I shall sum up the Contents of what they have at large insisted on, in reference to one Simple under one Head, and at last once for all, give in a Catalogue of some of their Names. The I. and II. Which are Branches of the same Root, receive this Commendation: They are Enemies to Poison, to the Plague, to all Infectious Airs, and Malignant Diseases; most noble Bezoartiques, and Vulneraries, attenuate clammy and tough Phlegm, help the Asthma, ease Coughing, Cure Surfeits, and loathing of Food, strengthen Concoction, dissolve concrete blood, heal internal Ulcers, and refresh the heart and spirits: The name may be spelt out by this Periphrasis, 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉. The III, and iv Because of their Affinity, shall be matched together, and passed by with this Testimony: They are Alexipharmacal, resist all Malignity, comfort cold Stomaches, oppose Melancholy, exhilarate the mind, and are profitable in gripe of the bowels, difficulty of Urine, and the Colic. The V, and VI (being if I may say it without a Solecism are Synonimons in Virtue) have this Character: They abate Hoarseness and Coughs, are profitable in inflammations of the Throat, abate the Acrimony of the Humours, help shortness of Breath, and other Infirmities of the Lungs, and asper arteria, are grateful both to the Stomach and Liver, and are Principal Ingredients in the most approved Pectoral Compositions. The VII. hath these Attributions: It consumes Windiness, allays gripe of the belly, cleanseth the breast of phlegm, corrects the coldness of the Stomach, provokes Urine, is profitable in the Dropsy and Stone, easeth pains, and engenders milk. The VIII. Is of an anodine and healing nature, mitigates the sharpness and heat of the Urine, is effectual against all Pectoral Diseases, cures all inward Excoriations, is profitably used in the Cramp, Sciatica, Ruptures, Bruises, and the bloody Flux, and gravel of the kidneys. The IX. Hath ascribed to it these Virtues: It corroborates all the bowels, principally the Head, dispels flatulency, cleanseth the breast of tough Humours, frees the Liver from Obstruction, helps the Spleen, and cold and moist Distempers of the Womb, and ♀ is sopitam vim excitat. The X. Hath this Character: It is of principal use in the composition of Antidotes, consumes Wind, provokes Urine, strengthens Digestion, easeth the pains of the Colic, and the Headache. The XI. Hath this Commendation: It attenuates and evacuates the tartar of the Lungs, and Reins, hence 'tis effectual in the Astma and Consumptions, and in opening the urinary passages, 'tis profitable against Pestilential Diseases, and putrefaction of the Humours, Cramps, and Convulsions, and refresheth the heart. The XII. Is Celebrated for easing pains of the Head and Stomach, for clearing the sight, for curing dispositions to vomit, for engendering, and correcting, milk in Women, for any Obstructions of the Liver, Lungs, and Spleen. The XIII. Is Transmitted by Authors to us with this encomium; It attenuateth thick Humours, heals Ulcers of the Lungs, and old Coughs, with all Diseases of the Chest, opens the stoppages of the lower belly, and takes away the frets and gripe in Children. The XIV. Hath a general Applause for an Alexipharmacon, and for its usefulness in all Diseases of the Head, the Nerves and the Breast, for all Diseases proceeding from Wind, as the Colic: from Obstruction, as Hypocon●riaque Melancholy, difficulty of Urine: and for the Chincough in Children. The XV. Is an Experienced Remedy in abating the sharpness of Humours, in stopping the violence of Coughs, in opening all pectoral Obstructions, in spitting of blood, in the Pleurisy, and hoarseness of the throat, and is of frequent and vulgar use. The XVI. Carries a Testimony of its Virtue in the very name, & having acquainted you with its Usefulness in Coughs, in shortness of breath, and in ulceration of the Lungs, I take my leave of it. The XVII. Hath a great Estimation, in the curing of Catarrhs, and the Dropsy, in the comforting of the Liver, strengthening a feeble Stomach, in opening Obstructions, and drying up superfluous moisture in any part of the Body. The XVIII. Hath been Eminently used, in all Distempers of the Head and Nerves; as the Falling-sickness, the Palsy, the Vertigo, the Megrim, as also to quicken and strengthen the sight, and to open Obstructions of the Liver, and Spleen; to cleanse the blood, oppose Melancholy, and corroborate the Memory, and comfort the heart, and prevent faintings. The XIX. Is commended for an Excellent Stomachical, and Cephalical Simple; for the dispersion of wind, promoting of digestion, refreshing the Faetus, removing the Palpitation of the heart, the stopping of all manner of Fluxes, and for the restoration of strength after sickness. The XX. Which is added to render it Grateful, and give it a Consistence, and as it were to Dilute it, is so well known, I shall wholly omit to speak of it. The Last and Principal, I shall reserve even from conjecture, except you can tell what it is, by being informed that in Chemistry, nothing is Esteemed More Sacred. Although I might bring in a Regiment of Worthy and Learned Authors, which give in their Vote to what h●th been now propounded; yet I shall content myself in the Impannelling a Jury of them, and trouble you with no more, their Testimony being instar omnium, valid to all intents and purposes; Andernacus, Dioscorides, Fuchsius, Dodonaeus, Matthiolus, Lobelius, Renodaeus, Gerardus, Schroderus, Weckerus, Clusius and Camerarius: I have proceeded thus far to give an account concerning my Balsam, to satisfy the reason of some, but not to gratify the curiosity of any; and now I can appeal to the severest Censurers, whether any thing can be made more Effectual to all the Purposes which were before mentioned; And did I not believe there was no scruple left in my Readers mind, I could with great facility show its Accommodation to its particular ends by the Exact proportioning of those things which are its Fundamentals, to those which are but vehicles, and how thereby the Virtue of the Whole is Communicated to the several parts; but this would be oleum & operam perdere, for those which are not by what hath been already offered sufficiently satisfied shall have my leave to abound in their own sense. The Balsam is put up into Latin Boxes, containing between the weight of four or five Ounces, and sold for Five Shillings; which quantity in many Distempers, may be taken before any sensible benefit accrue, or at least, the Cure be complete; and where the Disease is radicated, more may be necessary: But because Children may not need so great a quantity, and some have desired a little for trial; I was induced to have some of it put into Boxes holding about half so much, at half a Crown the Box; It will retain its Virtue for many years. The Boxes are Sealed with this Coat of Arms. coat of arms featuring stars and fleurs de lis They are to be sold in London, by Mr. Tho. Fydge Apothecary, at the sign of the Fox in Bishopsgate street, near to the Spittle. Mr. Henry Eversden, at the Grey Hound in St. Paul's Church Yard. Mr. Tho. Clark at the South entrance into the Royal Exchange. By Mr. William Flindel at the White Hart in Westminsterhall. Mr. William Fyge at the Hat and Feather in the Strand, near the Savoy. FINIS.
