A most Safe and Effectual CURE for the RICKETS, And means to Preserve Children from the same. THis Disease( unknown to our Fore-fathers) being now become so common that most Children are more or less Afflicted with it, Killing many with lingering Pains, and rendering the whole lives of others uncomfortable by the sad Effects, viz. Weakness, Crookedness, shortness of Breath, Consumptions, and many other Infirmities which it leaves Imprinted on their tender Bodies, or at least is the original occasion of, though sometimes they appear not till several years after; and all this through want of due and Efficacious Remedies seasonably applied. I have therefore thought fit to Advertise the Parents and Friends of such Languishing Infants of a most sovereign Medicine, which both Cures and Prevents that distemper, being an excellent and carefully prepared Powder of divers powerful specific Ingredients; neither loathsome to the taste, nor Purging, Vomiting, or making Children Sick that take it, but gently opens Obstructions of the Liver and Spleen, and thereby brings an equal distribution of nourishment to all the parts, and removes that stupefaction of the Nerves and Arteries, wherein the Root of this Disease mainly consists( as in that incomparable Treatise De Rachitide, is judiciously observed) and thus preserves the Body from, or subdues the said Disease with all its symptoms, by removing the causes thereof. All which it performs by known and accountable virtues, justified as well by Reason, as the concurrent Testimony of Experience, having been a means to save the Lives and restore many Afflicted Children when all other Medicines that could be procured, proved ineffectual: Non opus est verbis,— Exitus Acta Probet. For better Conveniency to those living at a distance, I have disposed it in Papers Sealed, each containing four and Twenty Doses, with Printed Directions for its use, price 2s. 6d. One of these Papers frequently performs a Cure, But where the Disease is Inveterate, and far grown, it may require 2. or 3. at most, nor shall you fail of finding a sensible amendment on the first: And as they must be very indiscreet that can expect such a Chronical Distemper as this can be perfectly rooted out in a day or two, or without following it with proper Medicines for some considerable time: So certainly they love money too much, and their Children too little, That shall Refuse or repined to bestow five Shillings when need is, to secure the Life, Limbs, and future health of their otherwise helpless Infant. This Powder is to be sold By Mr. Benjamin Harris Bookseller in Sweeting-Ally near the Royal Exchange. Mr. William Whitwood Bookseller in Duck-lane near Smithfield. And by the Author at the sign of the Blew Ball near the Kings Printing-house in blackfriars, and not elsewhere.
