COSMETICK OR, The Beautifying Part OF PHYSIC. By which all Deformities of Nature in Men and Women are corrected, Age renewed, Youth prolonged, and the least Impediment, from a Hair to a Tooth, fairly amended. With the most absolute Physical Rarities for all Ages. Being familiar Remedies, for which every one may be his own Apothecary. All extracted out of that eminent Physician John Jeams Wecker, never yet extant in the English Tongue before, but was promised to the world by Mr. Nic. Culpeper. London, Printed by Tho. Johnson, at the White Cock in Rood-lane. 1660. To all truly virtuous LADIES. Ladies, THe suspicion and jealousy that every man has of himself, when he is to publish any thing of novelty to the world, makes a man always willing at that time to speak something for himself, and in the behalf of what he writes. As for the presumption of this Address, I am confident it will be easily excused in me, doing no more than what all the world does, while they endeavour to serve, with the utmost of their diligence, that Sex, for whose reading this little Work was chief intended. For these Secrets of Nature by which Nature hath taught us how to beautify, and make herself more comely, coming to my hands, I could not choose but disperse them for the Benefit of those to whom I own so great a respect. To speak of the things themselves, they are such, as the most diligent Searchers into Nature's Secrets, have delved out of her most hidden and concealed Bowels, and composed by them with so much Art, and Experience, that for the certainty of their Operation, they surpass, I may boldly say, what ever has been to this purpose yet made. Nor let any think it irreligion, to make Age endure comely and graceful, or to cover those deformities by which the decay of Time renders a person not only unhandsome, but despicable? why should a woman lose one of the chiefest Ornaments of her whole frame, a long Train of dishevelled Hair, if that can be restored by Art, which has been lost by the malice of some Disease? Why should not the height of Cleanliness be as much in commendation, as the height of Sluttishness is discommended? Briefly therefore we shall say once more of this Treatise, That there is nothing therein contained, but what the poor, as far as they are concerned (for all Physic itself is not for their purse) may use with profit, and the Rich both to their profit and pleasure. Therefore Ladies, buy these few Receipts, and make use of 'em, and if they fail, than never believe me another time; which displeasure of yours I would not willingly incur, out of my zeal always to appear, LADIES, Your most faithful and devoted Servant, L.
