ADVERTISEMENT. AS there is hardly any thing of this World more deservingly welcome to mankind, than Health and Long-Life; so wha●ever contributes most thereunto, ought to have a fair reception and high value in the thoughts of all men: Yet from those in health I do not expect any great care for, o● admiration of any thing, that may restore the diseased, since themselves are well, and see not any Malady approaching. Though if even these laid in( whilst it were to be had) a REMEDY for prevention of Diseases, and to be ready against the day of Sickness, it were no imprudence, especially when the Medicine proposed for these purposes, has the vogue and allowance of a Nation, for the most excellent was ever published. But my intent herein is, chiefly to speak to those are Indisposed, Ill, or Sick; to these it is I offer that mo●● Sovereign Medicine, called PILULAE IN OMNES MORBOS; or, Pills against all Diseases: which all unbiased persons( who have knowledge of them, and do heartily desire the good of their diseased Neighbours) do in all parts cry up, as the most excellent Medicine was ever in like manner publicly disposed of. I shall not here need to rack, nor, will I in the least strain my invention for high commendations of my Pill, nor ever shall: which, were I inclined to, yet have I no need to use such unworthy ways, since the worth and virtues of my Medicine are already very well known to a great part of the people in the Kingdoms of England, Scotland, and Ireland. Therefore my design hereby is only in plain words, suited to the meanest capacity, to remind the people of my Pills, which have been amongst them now about Six years, and I hope I may bold-say, with such admirable success, that but few or none who have taken them( according to the Directions in my Book, always given with them) have found them less effectual in answering their expectations, than in reason they could desire. And indeed, as to their Innocency, Safety, and Health-procuring Qualities, I do appeal to the greater part of the people of the Kingdom, who, I am fully persuaded, are able to give some considerable account of BROMFIELD's PILLS, either from their own experience in taking them, or by relation of their worth from others, who have made trial of them: Therefore I request all persons, not satisfied of them by their own knowledge, or relation of their worth and virtues from Acquaintants, that they would before they meddle with them, g●ve themselves full satisfaction by enquiry,( as indeed is mightily requisite in a matter of such high concern as is Health, nay, perhaps Life itself) thereby ●o streng●hen their good liking and opinion of the ●●dicine; which may signify full as much towards Cur● of the Distemper, as the Patient's good opinion of his Physician, which all grant to be necessary. This to the wise man may suffice, Though not to him that's otherwise. And now to satisfy those who may be curious to know why I have not herein given an account of the Names and Places of Dwelling of such as have been cured by my Pills; I answer, Because I intend such brevity, that what I print may appear to the Reader, at first sight, not likely to spend very much of his time to peruse: for I have often made it my observation, that what of this kind seems tedious, not one of twenty cares to red through; and thence the thing becomes lost to the Author, and of little or no use to him that receives it. Yet I must confess, that in my Quarto Book, always given with each-Box of Pills when sold, are printed very many considerable and wonderful Cures performed by my Pills, upon persons of very good Reputation and Quality, with plain directions to their several places of Dwelling; whereby any one may satisfy himself, as to the worth of them, and whether they have really wrought such admirable Cures or no. In the said Book are also printed the abstracts of several Letters from persons of worth, written to acquaint me with the wonderful effects of my Pills, and what strange and unexpected Cures they had wrought upon themselves and Friends. But these are standing Cures, and such as I have a considerable time printed, and as the people are thoroughly satisfied are truth; and were it not for these very reasons, all those Cures, with the Names and Dwelling-places of the persons on whom they were wrought, might be left out of my Book, and the people be referred only to their own Experience, or report of Acquaintants, for their satisfaction of the worth and virtues of my Pills. I have a few words more in reference to the Book above-mentioned, on purpose to acquaint you, that in it are plainly laid down the chief Causes, Signs, and Effects of that most reigning Disease, the SCURVY; the Causes, Signs, and( sometimes killing) Effects of the Virgin or Maiden Disease, called the White Fever, or GREEN SICKNESS; a Discou se of the Causes, Signs, and sad Effects of WORMS in the Bodies of Men, Women▪ and Children; the Causes, signs, and Effects of DROPSIES; with full and plain Directions how to use my Pills for cure against any of the said Diseases, or other Maladies curable by physic. Wherein also is much other Discourse of great use and benefit. The said Book I allow all those appointed to dispose of my Pills, to give freely with each Box they sell. Now if the Reader be indisposed,( ill or sick) I desire he will impartially consider what hath been said; and if he have no knowledge of my Pill himself, I again request he will inform himself by enquiry, whether it be for his purpose or no; and then if he meet with a Character of it suitable to that herein given, it cannot be presumed he will do otherwise than most readily accept what is so likely, and stands so fair in the opinion of most men who have knowledge of it, not only to prevent Diseases, by sweetening and purifying the Blood, and gently carrying off corruptions and foulness of the Body, but also to cure many dangerous and deplorable Distempers incident to Mankind, if my Pill be taken before the Patient be too far gone or spent with the Disease. What I have more to say, is to request, that the Reader will not judge the worse of me or my Pills, because I have not herein commended them with high-strained praises and boastings; which way of setting off any thing, I am very sure, the wise man likes not, yet is it used by too many, to draw in and catch the ignorant; but such a method I abhor, and scorn to use: therefore have choose plainly to writ the truth; and if that will prevail with the people to accept what is honestly offered for their good, 'tis well; if not, I hearty desire no diseased persons meet with any worse advice than that herein given them by M. Bromfield.
