THey that have any Friends Distracted or Melancholy are desired to accept this: and, they that have none, not to reject it: but rather to lay it by them, that they may, when they hear of any that are So, inform their Friends; who also may be desirous to hear of one that is Faithful and Expert in these Distempers: Which, if Providence this way bring them to me, when they first fall ill, I doubt not but they will have Cause to bless God, and thank them that so happily informed them: Or, though it may be, after all other ways have failed, yet they may be cured by my means, which hath recovered in seven weeks time some that have been twelve years mad, and 60 years of Age: and others that have been sixteen years Melancholy in six Months: though some kinds of this Distemper, of less continuance, in some may be dubious. I hereby seek not Applause, yet would I not be vilified: 'tis not more my own than others Good I aim at; Nor do I seek more to cure the Rich for Reward, than the Poor gratis, but I labour by all means to Cure both, rather than keep either in my House for Advantage. I mi●ht give many instances of it, but I'll Name, and that without picking, only Four of the Parish where I now live, whereby you may judge. The first was a Woman, put to me by the Churchwardens in 1672. who was much given to Swear and Tear, having a very Soar Breast, and many other very grievous soars made by binding her in Bed with cords, though she was through weakness not able to stand without hold, yet was she and all her Soars perfectly cured in 3 Weeks. The second was a man whose D●stemper was of another kind, he being so voided of Sense and Reason as not to know any thing that was said or done unto him, he would, when his hands were at liberty, most vigorously beat himself on his breast, and tear the hair off his head,& afterwards ly as in a Convulsion fit; he had also a great swelling in his neck, which became well, and he perfectly cured in 4 Days. The third was a man put to me by the Overseers of the Poor in 1674 whose distemper varied from the other; wherefore, because I would not say he should be K Charles II. he commanded the standards by to take off my head, for he would be K. Charles II. whether I would or not; yet at times he would discourse rationally: he was perfectly cured in six Days. The fourth, was a woman differing from the rest, being altogether Melancholy, lame on one side, supposing her self to be more miserable than any other, and that a plaster which a woman had applied to her forehead, was so very ponderous, that if she should but stoop to the ground, she should never be able to rise again, so would often mourn: but she also was cured in 4 Weeks. The last 10 I had went away in a short time very well, except one that was 2, another 3, and the third 4 Months: besides these nominated, several others have been cured in a week, or very few weeks time: yet 'tis possible, others may require more time than any of these; though all these had been under other means rather to their d triment than advantage Let those that object do the like, hereby, may that place be eased, and the 〈◇〉 Safest way of Cure made apparent. Note also, that never any was Moped by use of my means, but several that have been subject to Fits, and other bad Symptoms, have not had the like after cured by my means. The Truth of what I here affirm will easily be confirmed, if those that doubt hereof will but apply themselves to me James Newton, at my house on Clarken-well Green; where I am ready to give an ingenious Account of my carriage to, Care and Industry on such person: with the Cures that I have, through the Assistance of the Almighty, performed without danger of Relapse.— Now if any skilled in these Distempers object any thing; I am very willing for their satisfaction, if I may have Liberty, to take 3 persons out of Bedlam that have been there several years, and to bestow all Necessaries upon them gratis.—
