The Virtues and Happy Effects of BATEMANs Famo●● SPIRITS of SCURVY-GRASS, both Plain and Golden, and particular CURES thereby performed.  
THere is no doubt but Providence designed that Excellent Medicinal Herb by us( from its Virtues) called SCURVY-GRASS, for a specific or peculiar and adequate Remedy against a cruel, and almost universal Disease, the Scurvy, and several other Distempers infesting the Inhabitants of these Northern Parts. But both Reason and Experience have caught, That the common way of infusing the crude Herb, and letting it lie to rot in Liqours, or taking the gross pounded Juice with all its Impurities, as in the vulgar Scurvy-grass-Ale and Beer, is( by reason of the Earthy and phlegmatic parts thereby received into the Body) both navseous and prejudicial, Instead of being helpful to Nature. To prevent which inconveniencies these Noble Spirits were invented, where all the gross dreggy parts being separated and cast off, nothing remains but the pure essential Virtues of this gallant Vegetable; thereby becoming of far greater Efficacy to assist Nature, and meet with, subdue and expel the lurking Morbifick-matter, which occasions those Diseases. This is now so notorious, that few People but such as are stupidly ignorant, or unreasonably wilful, do any longer make use of the common Scurvy-Ale, but apply themselves to these more generous Spirits, which have given such eminent and singular proofs of their success.  
The Plain Spirit.  
Is Excellent to be taken frequently by way of Prevention, or where the Scorbutick Humour is not yet grown too strong and inveterate. It gives any liquour a pleasing Taste, cheers the Spirits, warms and comforts the Stomach, and thereby creates a good Appetite, and helps Digestion: 'tis a rare Remedy to sweeten and cure an offensive Breath: It prevents Worms in Children; it cuts, attenuates, and dissolves Phlegm and Crudities, contracted by large Suppers, or over-drinking, and helps those that are troubled with Wind, Vapours, and sour Belchings: It cuts off and disperses the Causes of Scurvy, Dropsies, and many other Diseases in the bud, and is a grand preserver of Health, if often used. Many People never drink their Mornings draft without it, and find great benefit: You may take thirty or forty drops in half a pint of Beer, Ale, Cider, or other liquour, at any time, an hour or more before or after Meals; but the Morning is the most proper Season.  

The Golden Spirit.  
Is used when the scurvy is radicated and become dangerous, and where Purging is necessary; to which purpose it is impregnated with choice Ingredients, most friendly to Nature. 'tis also an excellent and Sovereign Medicine in the Dropsy, Gout, ston, and Gravel, melancholy, Green-sickness, and several other Diseases, as in the particular Directions for its Use, is truly and more at large set forth.   

Several Remarkable Cures which have been wrought by these Spirits.  
Jacob Wise of Rumsey in Hampshire, had a dreadful Breaking out in Pimples over all his Body, which being scratched, a Watery honour would issue forth; and a wet Cloath clapped to his Stomach in Winter would reek as if it had been dipped in the a boiling Kertls; yet before he had taken one Glass of this Spirit, his Flesh became like the Flesh of a young Child.  

Attested by himself.  
Edward Levesedge of Kilmington in Somersetshire, who being afflicted with a long continued Scurvy, and a dropsical Humour, whereby Nature was so weakened, and his Legs and Arms swelled to such a prodigious Bigness, that he was not able to stand or go; yet by taking but four Bottles of this Spirit, he was perfectly cured.   

Attested by himself.  
☞ John Hellard in the Town of Tounton, St. Mary Magdalen in the County of Somerset, Serge-weaver, being very Sick and Weak, and troubled with a mighty Swelling in his Legs and Thighs, so that he was unable either to Walk or Stand without extremity of Pain. About the latter end of January last, took one Bottle of the Purging Spirit, and in six days time his Swelling left him, his Strength, and stomach, and Vigour, were wonderfully restored; and now enjoys that measure and degree of Health, as before; for which he desires to give God the Glory, and put 〈…〉 to this incomparable Remedy, so that others may be encouraged hereby( when need requires) to use the same. Attested by Mr. Simon Babb Bookseller in Taunton, March 1 1693/ 4.    

Many other Remarkable Cures I could recite, would this Paper contain them; and might show, that they are in great Esteem with very able Physicians, as the Learned Dr. Dyke near Taunton, who desired his Name may be made use of as highly approving of them, and likewise several other great Physicians.  
These Famous Spirits were first published by Mr. Robert Bateman 19 or 20 years ago; tho since counterfeited by divers Upstarts, who not one of them knew the Right Preparation, as was evident to any that tried and compared their Trash with his true and genuine Spirits. But ever since, and now truly and faithfully prepared by John Hooker, at his House in St. Paul's Chain, as formerly.
