DAFFY'S Original and Famous Elixir Salutis: THE CHOICE DRINK OF HEALTH, OR, Health-bringing Drink. BEING  
A Famous CORDIAL DRINK, found out by the Providence of the Almighty, and (for above wenty years,) Experienced by myself and divers persons (whose names are at most of their Desires here inserted) a most excellent Preservative of Mankind.  
A SECRET Far beyond any Medicament yet known, and is found so agreeable to Nature, that it effects all its Operations, as Nature would have it, and as a virtual Expedient proposed by her, for reducing all her Extremes unto an equal Temper; the same being fitted unto all Ages, Sexes, Complexions and Constitutions, and highly fortifying Nature against any Noxious humour, invading or offending the Noble Parts.  
Never Published by any but by ANTHONY DAFFY; And now by me ELIAS DAFFY his Son.  
Reader beware of Counterfeiters, for they swarm. And that you may know the Truth concerning Hind, pray Read the Epistle.

Courteous Reader,  
Having by the Providence of the Almighty obtained the True Composition, together with the Secret of Right preparing and making this famous Elixir, or Choice Drink of Health; and having for Twenty years' last, downwards to this time, found the same (to admiration) successful in the perfect Cure of Most of the torturing and painful Distempers and Maladies incident to humane Bodies; as will be abundantly testified by sundry credible persons in this City, and else where, upon their own happy Experiences of my Elixir's admirable and almost incredible Effect and Virtues; the enumeration of whom would be to tedious here to insert; yet particularly (amongst many others) my Elixir was about nine years since, found successful under God in the perfect cure of one Thomas Hind, most sadly afflicted with the Stone, and other distempers, after five years' use of the best means he could procure, either from Learned Physicians in this City, or the Well's as by the said Hind's Certificate under his hand, and their testimonies, may fully appear. He, the said Hind, soon after his Cure, did by subtle suggestions of great Travels by him pretendedly undertaken, and crafty insinuations into my favour, obtain from me a Direction unto some (tho' but few) of my Elixir's Ingredients, so far only as to prevent his Relapse into his late Distempers; or to recover him, if relapsed by change of Air, alteration of Climates, or therwise: Which said Hind having thus (as be thought) accomplished his Ends, did soon after (like a juggling Don Quixos) by the Letters T. H. G. Midwife by stealth, a Libellous Pamphlet crawling into the world, yet keeping itself in dark corners as a Moon blind Brat, demurely counterfeiting my Elixir, under the varnished and specious Appellation of his Famous and Wonderful NEVERFAILING CORDIAL DRINK's OF THE WORLD, etc. to be sold only within Aldersgate at the Picture-shop, and at one place more, in York City; audaciously making use of, and misapplying the substance of my Bill of Directions by me published in Print above thirteen years since; and also Apelike imitating my own Expressions, which he had from time to time heard me declare of my own, and my Patients manifold Experience of my Elixir's virtues, with much impudence imposing them upon the World, as if they were his own many years' Experiences of the virtue of what he calls his Neverfailing Drink, etc. tho' it is well known to me, and many other in this City, that he himself was (within this 10 years' last) a stranger to my Elixir, and to the Names of those few Ingredients in it which now he pretends to know. Divers of my Patients, in this Book, viz. Mr. Ben. Hope, Mr. William Crawley, and others, having been cured by me above 16 years since, and to this time remaining living Monuments to God's Praise of my Medicine's virtues. It is here very remarkable, that this Hind, tho' stored with so great a stock of Confidence of the infallible Effects of his Never-Failling Drink; yet he boggles at the publication of the Names and Places of Abode of such Patients of his, as have been cured of any one Distemper, by that this NEVER FAILING Cordialy or of the time or times when such Cure (if any) were m●de, By which sinister and indirect practice of this Hind, it being observed, that sundry People of most Ranks have been egregiously beguiled, their Health endangered, and myself injuriously abused. AND tho' in the forenamed Tho. Hinde's life-time, this JOSEPH HIND was unwilling to stand the Test of those many Falsehoods which his Brother had fomented, and his Mother did affirm, because he knew them to be untrue; yet (for filthy lucre's sake) now owneth all, and makes himself the Successor of his Brother's Impudence.  
☞ I have in the faithful discharge of my Conscience unto God, and in love to the public Good some time since published in Print two Advertisements, for undeceiving the deluded world, unto which I never received one syllable of answer from this Hind, I shall therefore leave the Consideration of the whole Matter to the Judgement of the Impartial Reader.  Qui vult decipi, decipiatur.

ELIXIR SALUTIS: OR, The Famous Choice Cordial Drink of Health.  
THE Excellent uses and transcendent Virtues of this Inestimable Jewel, proved by the happy and successful experiences of many Credible Persons, being now living and Healthful Monuments to God's Praise, hereunder named and described, are amongst divers others, (in so small a Volume not Comprizeable) these, viz.  


The Gout.  
THis Choice Preservative (if duly prepared, which no man can do but myself) effectually and perfectly cures the Gout, as hath (through God's blessing) been happily experienced, and will be testified amongst others by Benjamin Hope of Camerwell in the County of Surrey, having been very sorely afflicted with this Torturing Malady. For, this my Drink stifles the Gout in its Birth, and kills it in its strength; extracting out of all parts of the Patient's Body those crude and viscous humours, which are the spawn and nourishing cause of this grievous Disease, and frees the Joints of all other Diseases and pains to Admiration.  
☞ A Person of Honour also, to wit, Leonard Grey, Esq Son of the late Right Honourable Henry Earl of Stamford, having for the space of twelve Years and upwards, been so deeply afflicted with the Gout, that he was necessitated (during that time) to make use of Crutches, hath for four months' last been so Cured by the Means of this my Elixir, that he now walks with ease, having only a Cane in his Hand; and desires, for the encouragement of others, that his Name be thus made public, this 22. of February, 1678.  
For the Gout and Dropsy, Mr. Athie, who may be heard of at the Feathers, under St. James' Market-house, hath also found my Elixir happily successful in his Cure: besides many hundreds more, that are not free to be made public.   

The Stone and Gravel in the Reins, or an Exulceration in the Kidneys or Mouth of the Bladder.  
THis Drink dissolves, and perfectly cures the Stone and Gravel, and hath been by God's blessing found an effectual Remedy against it in Men, Women, and Children. It wonderfully cleanseth the Reins of all foulness and imperfections, forcing urine, never failing to cure the Gravel in the Reins, Kidneys, or Bladder, though ulcerated, and the Patient's Urine like blood These excellent virtues of this my drink have to admiration been found eminently successful by very many Persons in divers Countries, and this City: As, for instance, by Mr. William Crawley of Luton, in the County of Bedford, who was cured Eleven years since, and may once a Fortnight be found at the Three Broad Arrows in Golding Lane London; who by God's blessing upon this my Drink, voided above an hundred Stones; whereof the first, as big as the middle part of a Tobacco-Pipe, 〈…〉 rout an inch long, and so foft at its coming away, that one might 〈…〉 between the fingers; most of the other Stones smaller, some 〈…〉 bigness of an Horse-bean, some as little as a Pea, all rendered soft, 〈◊〉 of a crumbling nature.  
Also the said Thomas Hind deceased, who had his Drink sold at the Picture-Shop within Aldersgate, when all other Means and Physicians (from one to another) in five years sore affliction, proved unsuccessful to him, either for help or ease; Nine Spoonfuls, or three Doses of this my Drink (as I prepared it) did by the Lord's blessing, bring him to void a Stone threeforked, like the upper end of some Tobacco stopper, about the bigness of an Horse-bean, which hath been seen by sundry persons of Note in this City, and elsewhere. And of his Cure by my Drink I have his Certificate (ready to show, if need require.) Many more living Testimonies might be named of the incredible and excellent virtues of this Drink, bringing away the Stone, Sand and Gravel, when congealed, the Sand and Gravel brought away as soft, as Meal or Flower under the finger: and if the same be congealed, it sometimes brings it away on a sudden, hard as a Pibble, as the aforesaid Mr. Crawley hath experienced. Mr. Robert Goodson, at the Red Cross in St. martin's le Grand, having also lately been sorely racked with this torture, found this Elixir under God a speedy and effectual remedy in voiding with much ease a Stone, of the bigness of a small Bean, since which he ha●h been very well, and so remains to this day.  

☞ These are to Certify, That with the taking of 7 Half Pint Bottles of Mr. Anthony Daffy's Elixir, Mr. William Clarke, of the City of Gloucester, Mercer, being 77 years of age, did in the year last passed, in making of Water, void the quantity of a Gallon of Slimy-Ropy-Matter, which came away from him at several times; which hath given him very great ease, and may be said to be a Cure of that Distem per, he now making clear Water.  
In Testimony whereof, the said Mr. William Clarke hath hereunto set his Hand December the First, 1675. Per me, William Clarke.    

Against Languishing and Melancholy.  
IT raiseth Languishing Nature, and Melancholy drooping Spirits, it fails not of curing the Hypocondriack-Melancholly, and most powerfully opposeth all black and mixed humours (as Nature's grand Enemy) continually drawing them out of the Veins and Arteries into the Stomach, and from thence sends them away; and after their expulsion Nature rejoiceth.   

Shortness of Breath, Colic, Griping in the Guts.  
THis Drink doth, by the Lord's blessing, suddenly help bad Digestion, stoppage of the Stomach and shortness of Breath, causing a good appetite, and defending the head from all vapours ascending from the Mother and Spleen. It is found a most certain Remedy for the Colic; and any Griping of the Guts, and stayeth Vomiting; which Virtues have been successfully experienced by the aforesaid Benjamin Hope of Camerwell, and my own Family.  
And many others will also testify, that the same takes away all pain from the Heart, and perfectly cured them, when they were sorely stopped with Phlegm, yea when they feared Choking, and were accustomed in their steep to be near stifling for want of Breath.   

The Phtisick.  
IT gives much relief and ease to Aged People, afflicted with the Phtisic but perfectly cures such as have strength of Nature, and are not too far spent in that sad Distemper.  
This harmless and pleasant Cordial is so good a friend unto Womankind in all conditions, and hath been so experienced, that they cannot treasure up a richer Jewel by them, or have a more acceptable gift presented them, the virtues of it being found effectual in clearing them of all obstructions.   

The Green-Sickness.  
IT also certainly and speedily cares the Green-sickness (of any kind or nature whatsoever,) not failing to bring Virgins to their Maiden blush, rendering painting altogether out of fashion, making the Face well coloured, the Breath sweet, and the Body lusty.   

Against Surfeits.  
IT pursueth Surfeits, from one place to another in the body, yea, though the body be swollen up, it doth by God's help speedily raise the Patient from a bed of Languishing; as hath been happily experienced by one Mr. De Hewes, a Glass-maker, in Winchester yard, Southwark, who found the same admirably successful in his speedy and complete Recovery from that dangerous Distemper; and (among many others more) Mr. Matthew Bush, a Workman Brewer at Mr. William Collins his Brewhouse, over against St. Giles' Church, desires that his Name be here inserted for the encouragement of others, to the Praise of God, for his signal Blessing upon this means, in his Recovery from a very dangerous Surfeit, which brought his life into great peril.   

Scurvy and Dropsy.  
THis Cordial Drink wonderfully acquits the Body of the Scurvy, root and branch; and hath also been found (to Admiration) successful in the perfect cure of the Dropsy, and other Distempers, accompanying the same as hath been happily experienced by the aforesaid Mr. De-Hewes, and others (too many here to mention.)   

Coughs, Wheesing, Consumption and Agues.  
IT hath been found, through God's blessing, an effectual Remedy against Coughs of all sorts, yea in the height of extremity. It also removes and takes way the Causes of all Wheesing, and hath to Admiration cured Consumptive persons, Nature being not too far spent. It hath been in February 1672. found successful in the Cure of an Apptientice, by name Geo. Amblin, who was sorely afflicted with a Quotidian Ague the young Man may be spoken with, or heard of at Captain Chilidine's Coffeehouse, called, the Leaden Hall Coffeehouse near Leaden Hall, and since that Hundreds more.   

Mother and Spleen and fits of the Mother.  
THis Cordial Drink admirably frees the Liver and Spleen of all Obstructions, and is a proper Expedient and effectual Remedy against the Fits of the Mother, as was happily Experienced on the Wife of Mr. Edward Brandereth a Tailor in Plow-stable-Alley, by little Lincolns-Fields, who having been in a very sad manner extraordinarily afflicted with very sore, Fits, is now by the Blessing of the Lord upon this Elixir, Cured and Freed of that Distemper.  
It is also of excellent use for Wet Nurses, cleansing their Blood, and rendering their Milk wholesome and nurtive to the sucking Babe.   

Against Rickets.  
IT cures the Rickets, and other distempers in Children, by opening and removing Obstructions in them.    

It keeps a clear passage between the head and heart, not admitting of any Noxious humour, that annoys those Noble parts. It had Cured Hundreds of hot Rheum in their Eyes, by cleansing the Optic Nerves, and cleanseth the sight to admiration.  
It admirably keeps off frightful fears and griefs from seizing on the heart, by removing those noxious and sharp humours that occasion the same.  
It also takes away the Cause of, and cures the extreme burn in, the bottoms of the feet and palms of the hands, which sorely afflict the Heart.  
Finally, it highly exalts the Generative virtue, and restores Radical Moisture, cleansing and strengthening the Seminal vessels in both Sexes, fitting and preparing them for Conception.  
It retains its full Virtue 7 years, this I can prove, which is some years before either Hind, Witherden, or any of the Counterfeits knew their Liquors, or what they were good for.  
It, is good for the Relief and Cure of those afflicted with the  Distempers, which have occasion to take long Voyages, for it operates as well by Sea as on Land, and as well beyond or under the Line, as on this side: This I have had Experience of, by those that have taken it in the East and West-Indies, Barbadoss, New England, and Guiney.  
And after the Waters, if you take a Bottle according to your Directions, it will cleanse the Body and leave it in a very settled condition. It is also excellent to cleanse the Body after the Measles or Small Pox, for it carrieth off the relics of such Distempers, which being not carried off, prove dangerous to the Patient. And for those that used to Drink Scurvigrass-Ale in the Spring and Fall, by Experience this my Elixir hath been found much more effectual.  
It hath been found an admirable Virtue against Worms of all sorts, many that have taken it against the pains of the Stomach, have by taking of 2 or 3 Doses, voided thousands of small white Worms, and they have been freed from their pain in two days time. Also for long Worms in 3 times taking of this my Elixir, some have voided 19 Worms, some of them 3 quarters of a yard long, and some have voided Worms as Skins, or Slime, to admiration. And without any danger, it may be taken by Women when with Child. if they are two Months gone, as safely as if they were not with Child, for it carrieth off the Distempers of the Mother, so that the Child thriveth the better.  
In a word, amnogst all the diseases and distempers incident to human Bodies, which, I have heard or read of in these parts of the world, whether of Men, Women, Children, or Babes I do in the Presence of God, upon my long experience of the virtues of this Cordial Drink affirm, There is not one Disease able to withstand; but is, through God's blessing subject unto this my Drinks innocent, powerful, and miraculous operation (Gods appointed time for the Pains Dissolution being not come.)  
You have in this Sheet (as the parties desires) published the Names and Habitations of some persons, who have by God's blessing, experienced the successfulness of this my Inoffensive Cordial, in their Cures or Distempers, (herein specified) which shall for brevity sake suffice, many hundreds of other, Cured also by this my Cordial (which might be particularly expressed) I shall omit as in a small Volume not comprizeable.  
I might without ostentation, or any vain glory (if brevity were not designed) give instances of persons that have (by God's blessing upon the seeming improbable means of this my Drink) been cured of the Pestilence, some of Agues; and of others, that by this Drink have been cured of the King's evil, (so by its common Symtoms generally judged of:) these Persons applying to me, may have full satisfaction.  
And I do in the presence of the Almighty Searcher of Hearts affirm, and faithfully promise, That this my pleasant inoffensive Drink, with much carefulness and integrity duly prepared by me; so that I have (through the Lord's Goodness) successfully given the same unto my Wife (lying in) and unto Babes (in the Month) (so qualified, as in my Directions; for taking the same is particularly expressed.) And I do assure you, that there is nothing of a Mineral nor Chemical Extraction in it, as some have suggested, on purpose to weaken its Esteem among people.  
Moreover, for prevention of fraud, each Bottle of this my Elixir shall be sealed with my Coat of Arms, according to its Impression in the Title; the London price being but Five Shillings the Pint, or Two Shillings Six Pence the Half-pint Bottle; and the same is (for the better and more convenient Accommodation of persons living at a distance from me) to be sold at the places, and by the persons hereafter named, which are all that in London, Westminster, or Southwark, do vend the same for me, viz.

And it having pleased God so highly to own my Endeavours, and crown my Medicine with so eminent and incredible success, in the Cure of divers People afflicted with the Distempers (herein specified) some malevolent and mercenary Persons do endeavour the counterfeiting of it, to the great prejudice and peril of sundry people: these are therefore to give notice, That whosoever in this City or Suburbs, or elsewhere (not named in this Book) shall undertake the Sale of any Cordial Drink, called by my Drink's Name, and the Bottles and Books not sealed as this Book, the same I do aver to be a Counterfeit, though the Name of my Drink, and my own and others many Years Experiences of the Virtues of it be impudently stolen nigh word for word.    

DIRECTION Given by me (ANTHONY DAFFY, Student in Physic.) For taking my safe, innocent and successful CORDIAL DRINK, ELIXIR SALUTIS; Proper to the Cure of each Distemper (in the Printed Sheet of its Virtues mentioned,) and suited unto the Patients several Ages, Sexes and Constitutions.  


The first general Observation.  
FOr such persons as are oppressed with Chronical Distempers whether the Gout, Stone, Colic, Ptissick, Dropsy, etc. and have (divers Years) been tortured and bowed down under the burden of them: I say, for Distempers habitual to, and radicated in the Body; it cannot rationally be expected that this (by any Means under Heaven) may on a sudden effect their Cure, any more than that a small shower of rain (after a long season or Summer's drought) should presently revive the parched and dying flowers and herbs of the field, and restore them to their lively verdure and greenness: To persons therefore infected with these Chronical Distempers, and disposed to use the means of this my Drink, I give this advice, that they take the same according to the ensuing particular Directions, and patiently wait upon the Almighty. Physician of Soul and Body for his Blessing, and I doubt not, but they (as well as others have done) will find very much relief, at least by ease of their pains, if not the perfect cure of their disease; which some Aged persons have happily experienced. Moreover, let not the Patients (having taken this Drink) impatiently expect its operation or working with them, on a sudden; for experience hath found that on some Bodies it is 6 hours, on some 8, and on some 12 hours, before it works: and in most Distempers, its operation is so gentle and moderate, that the Patients may (with safety) follow their business and occasions, either at home, or abroad.   

The second general Observation.  
LEt the Patient afflicted with any of the Distempers, in the Book of my Cordials Virtues mentioned, have a due regard to the state and condition of his or her Body (if the Body be Costive as most generally persons under such distempers are,) let the first dose (if the age, and strength of nature will permit) be three Spoonfuls at the Patients going to Bed, and the like Dose at the uprising in the Morning: But in case the Body be Laxative, then let the first dose overnight be one Spoonful, and another at the uprising in the Morning, and so let the Dose be increased by one Spoonful each time if the Patient's strength may admit, till it comes to three Spoonfuls, which (without good advice) none is to exceed. In taking the same, let the Patiented use as much exercise and stirring, as strength of Body may admit. Here likewise observe, the Patient ought to avoid Melancholy, and keep a good Diet; and it is convenient to take a mess of Broth, or something warm, an hour after the Mornings Dose, which is found more proper than Posset-Ale.   

The third general Observation.  
THis Drink hath been many Years experienced so innocent and sure in its operation, that it may be safely taken at any season of the year, for neither heat, nor cold can obstruct its beneficial operation on the Body. Moreover this Drink will retain its Virtue, though kept two years together (as divers persons have found) but I suppose it may be kept much longer: Another Virtue and innate propriety of this Drink (distinguishing it from all other Physic whatsoever) is, that at the Patients leaving off the same the Patient's Body remains not Costive, but in a very good healthful temper and lightsome condition.    


The GOUT.  
LEt the Patient (having competent strength of Nature) take three Spoonfuls of this Elixir in the Morning fasting and the like Dose last at Night; the which course must be followed so long as the Patient's strength of Body will bear it, and especially if the Pains be found to move from one joint to another: I advise the Patient to be active, and use as much stirring exercise, as conveniently may be: Here note, That after four Doses, or twelve Spoonfuls taking, the Patient may (if the same be found to work five or six times in a day) intermit a day, and then return to the Drink; taking then two Spoonfuls in the Morning, one spoonful an hour before Dinner, and two Spoonfuls last at Night; but let not the Patient, finding not his expectation answered on a sudden lay aside the further use of this Choice Remedy; for although some have been Cured of this torturing malady in taking out of one half-pint Bottle of this Drink, yet some require a Pint, and others more, according as the Disease hath more or less seated and riveted itself into the Body.   

The Stone or Gravel in the Kidneys.  
IF the Patient's pain lie most, either in the Reins or the Flank it is an Indication, whereby he or she may conclude, the Malady is the Stone or Gravel in the Kidneys; then the Patient's age and strength of Nature admitting, let him or her take the first Dose, or three Spoonfuls last at Night, and first in the Morning, and presently after it use as much stirring exercise, as may be; and although Riding may at that time be burdensome, yet it would prove very profitable and advantageous; for by using extraordinary exercises and agitations of the Body, divers have been far sooner discharged of this tortucing Distemper, as hath been experienced by Mr. Crawley (in the printed Sheet of the virtues of this Drink) who by taking but three Spoonfuls of this Drink, and riding ten Miles upon it, voided three Stones, each as big as a Horse-bean, (as he himself testifieth.)   

STONE in the Bladder.  
LEt the Patient afflicted with the Stone in the Bladder, consider the bigness of it, and take the full Dose of three Spoonfuls last at Night, and the like first in the Morning, continuing the same for three days; then intermit two days, and return to it, then taking only two Spoonfuls last at Night, and the like Dose first in the Morning, which course let the Patient observe, and by the Lords Blessing the Stone will be found to waste gradually, and in conclusion, to come away; but Patience is to be exercised, for although Thomas Hind voided away the Stone in nine Spoonfuls, or three Doses taking; yet that great Stone voided by the said Mr. Crawley was nigh 12 Months in wasting, before it could come away, and was then rendered so soft, that it crumbled away between the fingers.   

Exulceration of the Kidneys.  
For the Exulceration of the Kidneys, rendering the Patient's Urine like Blood: let the Patient keep to the direction of the Second general Observation, and so first open and cleanse the Body for two days; and then for two days, Night and Morning, take one spoonful or two (according to the Measure of strength) and then intermit two days, and after, take one Spoonful at night, and one in the Morning, and one an hour before Dinner; This method in taking the same, hath by the Lords Blessing been found eminently shccesful in the healing and cleansing any Exuleeration of the Reins or Bladder.   

Colic and Griping in the GUTS.  
LEt the Patient (at any time of pain) take three Spoonfuls, which may ease or mitigate the pain; and if he or she be not discharged of the Pains, let him, or her, take three spoonfuls more, five hours after; but if the Patient be a costive, or a corpulent Body; let such a one take a Dose of 4 Spoonfuls during the Gripes, and (if the pain continue) four Spoonfuls more six hours after; for this Distemper is usually sadly violent, and must be followed close; yet this means (thus taken) fails not, by the blessing of Almighty God to become Master of this sad Malady. Afterwards (for cleansing the Body of the dregs of it) let the Patient lessen the Dose, according to directions of the general Observation   

PTISSICK.  
LEt the Patient weigh and consider the three general Observations, and (according to direction thereof) open and cleanse the Body, for four days; and after that, take only half a Spoonful, when the Cough is perceived coming upon him or her, and one Spoonful, an hour before Dinner; and this course (followed) will by degrees gain power over, and waste the Distemper; yea, and strengthen Nature against it; and this course may be taken even in Winter, when the Distemper is predominant and strongest upon the Patient; by which means, he or she will (by the Lord's Blessing) find the Breath free, and the Cough exceedingly abated, if not taken away. But as to youthful Persons, that are not far gone in this sad Malady, a Pint of this Drink in the Spring, & as much in the Fall (taken as before directed) will (by God's Blessing,) not fail of their perfect Cure. And unto aged People, afflicted with this Distemper, it doth so far aid Nature, and strengthen them, as in the following Winter to render their lives pleasant to them; provided always, that the Patient be moderate in drinking, and have a care to prevent taking cold, and keep a good Diet.   

DROPSY.  
IF it be predominant upon the Patient (known by the bigness of the Belly, swelling of the Limbs and Face) let the Patient take four spoonfuls first in the morning, and the like Dose last at night, for four days together, then intermit two days, and afterwards keep two orthree spoonfuls at night, and the like Dose in the morning.   

SCURVEY.  
THe Scurvy, known by knots in the flesh, and blue spots in the skin, let the Patients keep to the directions in the three general observations, having due regard to the strength of their bodies, and take the drink two days, intermitting two days, for the space of a month, and then take only one spoonful in the morning, and another an hour before dinner.   

SURFEITS.  
LEt the Patient take the ordinary Dose of 3 Spoonfuls at night and three in the morning, for six times without intermission; and there is no doubt but (by the Lord's Blessing) the same will be found successful to his or her Relief and Cure, though the height of the distemper had brought the Patient very low, and nigh the gates of death: And I would advise others, and particularly such as are apt to drink much Wine (bad and sophisticated Wines being very frequent and fatal in this City and elsewhere) that they do upon the least illness and indisposition of Body, apply themselves unto this choice Remedy, either the same night, or the next morning, or both; for this Drink is experienced a choice Antidote for preventing of Surfeits (insensibly stealing upon men) and expelling out of the Body that malignant Matter, which is the occasion and rise thereof.   

PESTILENCE.  
LEt the Patient, when first smitten with his Visitation or with Illness, accompanied with any symptom of the Distemper (regard being had to the direction of the three general Observations) take three spoonfuls, or less, of this Drink (according to the Patient's strength or weakness of Body) and so proceed as occasion shall require; and I question not, but (through mercy) the same will be found an effectual means, as well for overcoming the Distemper, as for strengthening Nature, and restoring Health (unless the Patient's Visitation be the Messenger of Death) which Benefit has been happily experienced, and will be attested by divers persons in my own and other Families, which stayed in the City in the time of the last great Visitation, and were Visited, and yet through God's goodness do still remain in the Land of the Living.   

Fits of the Mother, and Vapours from the Spleen.  
LEt the Patient (having regard to the direction of the general Observations) begin with one, or with two Spoonfuls of this Drink, and so continue or raise the Dose, according to what the Patient's strength may admit, remembering that the greatest Dose prescribed is not to exceed three Spoonfuls, and let the proper Dose be taken at any time whatsoever, when the Fit is found to be coming upon him or her.  
WHen Women, either by reason of taking Cold, or any other accident, find an Obstruction of their Courses, though it be in Childbed, give them three spoonfuls of this drink, at any time (either of night or day,) and through God's Blessing; they will find all in good order again; of which excellent virtue in this Drink, divers Women, and my own Wife (when in Childbed) have found comfortable experiences, and will attest the same to others.   

GREEN-SICKNESS.  
LEt the Patient duly observe the direction of the three general Observations, using as much stirring Exercise, as strength will permit; and in four days time, she will, by the Blessing of God, find her Distemper diminish, and in taking of an half pint Bottle, the Cheeks and Lips will return to their former Rose-colour.   

children's Distempers.  
FOr children's DISTEMPERS, whether the Worms, Rickets, the Stone, Convulsions, Gripes, Kings-Evil, Joint Evil, or any Distemper proceeding from Wind or Crudities, engendered by means of undigested Matter (the effect of their cold and weak Stomaches,) which is the grand and original cause of these their distempers: The way of administering this drink must be in this manner; to a Babe of a month-old, give (in time of its affliction) half a Child's Spoonful thereof, mixed with double the quantity of small Ale, not exceeding this Doses, nor oftener than once in 12 hours' time. To a Babe of half a year old, let the Dose be half a middling spoonful o● the Drink, with double the quantity of small Ale. To one of a year old, one spoonful, with the likequantity of small Ale. To a Child of four years one spoonful of the Drink alone. To one of seven years old, two spoonfuls; and to one of 12 years old, two spoonfuls and an half, in any of these Distempers, not exceeding one Doses in 12 hours, except only in the Gripes, and then, one Dose every five hours; where observe, that in most of these Distempers, it hath pleased God so to bless this means, that two Doses have been found successful to Babes and Children: Here note, that the strength of the Child, and of its Distemper, will be a more sure Guide for proportioning a proper Dose, than the Child's Age.   

The Stone in Babes and Children.  
ANd if the Distemper be the Stone observe the same directions in administering this Drink to Babes and Children, of all Ages, as is above prescribed for those under other Distempers; except only that Distemper of the Gripes; and this Drink gradually wastes the Stone, and turns Stones to Gravel, bringing them away as soft as Meal, and brings away Worms, as skins; it also brings away a flimy substance, some black, some green (the cause of these Distempers, which manifold experience hath fully confirmed.   

Convulsion-Fits.  
Moreover it hath also been experienced that unto a Child of seven years old (afflicted with the Gripes or Convulsion Fits in extremity) there hath been found necessary the same Dose, as for a Man, being three spoonfuls, and five hours after, the like Dose.   

Consumptions, bad Digestions.  
LEt Consumptive Persons, of either Sex, take one spoonful of this Drink an hour before Dinner, and another such Dose, an hour after Dinner; for many weak Consumptive Persons have (through the Lord's Blessing) experienced the same very successful in strengthening weak Nature, converting their food into good nourishment, and instrumental in restoring their strength.   

Agues.  
LEt the Patient (an hour before the expected time of the Fit) take three Spoonfuls, being at what time soever; and two spoonful, six hours after: (which done,) let the Patient observe the Directions of the second general Observation.   

Piles.  
LEt the person afflicted, diligently follow the Direction in the second general Observation, it having been lately found to be successful.
