<P>MOreover the Spirit of <HI>Saffron</HI> (taken according to the Directions near the end of this Paper) is of &s;ingular u&s;e in the following Di&s;tempers. <HI>viz.</HI></P>
<P><HI>Con&s;umption,</HI> It &s;o helpeth, that by the ble&s;&s;ing of God it ea&s;ily re&s;toreth the Patient to perfect Health; for it ripeneth the Ulcers of the Lungs, clean&s;eth, and with a gentle Ad&s;tringency and In|<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">arnative faculty healeth them; it mitigates the Cough, takes away the Di&s;tillat<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">ions of the Brain, and amends the &s;alt and &s;harp humours.</P>
<P><HI>A&s;thm<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="2 letters">,</HI> that is, Difficulty of Breathing, and Phty&s;ical (or Ti&s;&s;ical) Per&s;ons it much helpeth; for it concocts, ripeneth, and con&s;umeth the crude and gro&s;s humours &s;ticking to the Lungs, and re&s;toreth to them the faculty of ea&s;ie breathing.</P>
<P><HI>Melancholly, and &s;ad Con&s;titutions</HI> it greatly comforts; for it amends the &s;aults of the Liver and Gall: it di&s;&s;ipates the Hypocondriack flatu|lency, it &s;trengthneth and comforts the Heart, and wonderfully cau&s;eth Mirth.</P>
<P><HI>Swooning,</HI> herein it is highly worthy of prai&s;e; for it happily re|&s;toreth the Spirits that are lo&s;t by their vani&s;hing away through the pores of the Body, by their exceeding &s;ubtilty and volatility, &amp;c.</P>
<P><HI>Apoplexie,</HI> herein it hath a great Power, for it helpeth the Brain, and &s;trengthneth the &s;ame, a&s;&s;waging the Phlegmatick and gro&s;s humours, &s;welling with Wind, and wa&s;ting with Acidity the Mu&s;cles, and Nerves, freeth the ob&s;tructed pa&s;&s;ages of the Spirits, and &s;hakes off deep and profound drow&s;ine&s;s.</P>
<P><HI>Yellow Jaundice,</HI> the Spirit of Saffron, with equal quantity of Juice of Lemmons, or Water of Sorrel, and &s;weetned with a little Sugar, is an e&s;pecial remedy: for it openeth the ob&s;tructions of the Liver and Gall; and by natural property from all parts of the Body draweth the Choler, altereth it, and expels it by Urine; whence en&s;ues a beauti|ful, ruddy, healthy Complexion.</P>
<P><HI>Plague, Mea&s;les, and Small-Pox.</HI> Both to prevent them, and expel them, its U&s;e is frequently known; for it is of &s;ubtle parts, and ea&s;ily pene|trates, and cau&s;eth Sweat.</P>
<P><HI>Agues.</HI> In the Cold Fit it may be taken with great Comfort to the Patient.</P>
<P><HI>Strangury, Stone, and Gravel.</HI> It is of great Worth; for it openeth the Ob&s;tructions of the Urinal Pa&s;&s;ages, a&s;&s;wageth the acrimony of the Hu|mours, forceth Urin, Gravel, and &s;mall Stones, and takes away the Pain.</P>
<P><HI>For Womens Terms, and Women in Child-bed,</HI> It is a Noble Cordial, It is likewi&s;e a great Enemy to Barenne&s;s, and highly provoketh Venery.</P>
<P><HI>Loo&s;ne&s;s, Bloody Flu<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 letter">, Griping of the Guts.</HI> It is very profitable again&s;t the&s;e Di&s;tempers, for it concocts the raw Phlegm about the Belly and &s;mall Guts, that cau&s;eth loo&s;ne&s;s: It corrects the acrimony and &s;harp|ne&s;s of Humours that irritate and force Nature to go to &s;tool often. It &s;trengthneth the Bowels, and healeth the Ulcers of the &s;ame.</P>
<P><HI>Empyema or Impo&s;tume,</HI> newly begun in the &s;ide, it helpeth very much, for it ea&s;ily di&s;per&s;eth the gathered Humours and flatulency or windine&s;s therein.</P>
<P><HI>Trembling of heart:</HI> It is very good for them that are troubled with trembling of Heart, for it allayeth the vehement fermentation of Blood; it di&s;&s;ipates the thick and gro&s;s vapours enclo&s;ed in and about the Heart, and it re&s;toreth chearfulne&s;s to the &s;ame.</P>
<P><HI>Pains, Dulne&s;s of Hearing, and Noi&s;e of Ears,</HI> are remedied by this Spirit; for it di&s;per&s;eth the gro&s;s Humours gathered about the Tympanum of the Ears, and di&s;&s;ipates the flatulency enclo&s;ed in the Brain, if &s;ome Drops thereof be mixed with Womans Milk, or Oyl of Bitter Almonds. It al&s;o ripeneth, breaketh, clean&s;eth, and healeth Ulcers in the Ears, if it be dropped into a roa&s;ted Onyon, and be applied to the Ears.</P>
<P><HI>Scurvey.</HI> This Spirit is mo&s;t excellent to prevent this Di&s;temper, &s;o epidemical and common, that it becomes the Spring or Cau&s;e of many Di&s;ea&s;es that perplex Mankind; it likewi&s;e in a great mea&s;ure cures it, and for this end is carried to Sea, for long Voyages, through hot Climates, and is known to re&s;tore the Native Vigour, with a good Countenance.</P>
<P><HI>Weakne&s;s of Stomach, and an inclination to Vomit often,</HI> it wonderfully help|eth, for it concocts, di&s;&s;ipateth, and con&s;umeth the raw humours, di&s;|per&s;eth the flatulency, &s;trengtheneth the Stomach, brings a good appetite, and cau&s;eth good dige&s;tion.</P>
<P><HI>In a Ba&s;tard Pluri&s;ie</HI> it is an excellent Remedy, for it openeth the Brea&s;t, cuts the Phlegm in it, expelleth the Wind, and freeth the Lungs from all Ob&s;tructions.</P>
<P><HI>Colds, Indi&s;po&s;ition of Body.</HI> Take a Spoonful or two in a Morning; for it concocts the Humours in the Stomach, amends the &s;harpne&s;s of them, and di&s;&s;olves the Phlegm: Yea, this Spirit of Saffron is of &s;o general U&s;e, that it may be mixed with any Phy&s;ick, proper for any Di&s;temper, to increa&s;e its Operating Faculty.</P>
<P><HI>Note,</HI> A Man or Woman of Age, labouring under the &s;aid Di&s;tempers, may take one or two Spoonfuls of this Spirit at a time, by it &s;elf, if they be not in burning or Hectick Fevers; but if &s;o, let them mix it with &s;ome cooling Drink, or Syrrups proper for tho&s;e Di&s;tempers, and take little Quantities of it four times a day, to wit, early in the Morning, between Meals, and late at Night when they go to Bed.</P>
<P><HI>The Virtues and v&s;es of this Spirit of Saffron are taken out of a Letter or Manu&s;cript of a mo&s;t Learned and long experienced</HI> German <HI>Phy&s;ician,</HI> G.
