<HEAD>The VIRTUES of COFFEE, CHOCOLETTE, and THEE or TEA, Experimentally known in this our Climate.</HEAD>
<DIV2 TYPE="part">
<HEAD>Of <HI>COFFEE.</HI></HEAD>
<P>_THE Nature, Places and Manner of its Growth, and what it is, I &s;hall not in&s;i&s;t upon to ac|quaint you, as being too tedious, and for that it hath been already by &s;everal &s;et forth; but I have Ob&s;erved, that in tho&s;e Parts where they drink it at all times, as at Meals and otherwi&s;e, the Inhabi|tants are not &s;ubject to the Stone, Scurvey, Gout, Drop&s;ie, nor many other Di&s;ea&s;es which are incident to us here; it being mode|rately warm, attenuating and dry, &s;o that many cru|dities and crude Humors by the common u&s;e of this Drink are very much Corrected. And I find by Experience, that it hath taken al&s;o its good Effects in the&s;e our parts and Climate; for it being drank at any time, dryeth up moi&s;t and wateri&s;h Humors, expelleth Wind, moderately binding and clean&s;ing, it helpeth tho&s;e that have the Drop&s;ie by its drying quality, and is mo&s;t excellent again&s;t that common Di&s;temper: For by the con&s;tant drinking thereof it Cured a Learned Bi&s;hop of this Kingdom, who had been before left off as Incurable by &s;ome of the mo&s;t able&s;t Phy&s;icians of <HI>England,</HI> (by drinking thereof, as he was advi&s;ed, with Sugar-candy;) it &s;trengthneth much the Liver, helpeth the Jaundies, it's good again&s;t the Cor|ruption of the Blood, it refre&s;heth the Heart and vitals, it helpeth Swooning, palpitation and weakne&s;s of the Heart, and dizzine&s;s in the Head, it &s;trengthneth the Stomach, helpeth the want of Appetite, Concoction, and pains in the Stomach; in the Brain it helpeth all cold, moi&s;t and drow&s;ie di&s;tempers, as the Lethargy, Apoplexy, <HI>&amp;c.</HI> the Steam is good for Rheums in the Eyes, and for pains and noi&s;e in the Ears, or dulne&s;s of Hearing; it's good again&s;t all moi&s;t Rheums, if the matter or Phlegm be thick, then &s;weeten it with Sugar-candy; it's good again&s;t Hypochon|driack Winds, and the pains of the Spleen; it purgeth by Urine, (a good Drink for tho&s;e that are troubled with the Stone in the Reins or the Bladder;) it's experimentally good to prevent Mi&s;carriage; it's good again&s;t the Gout, Scia|tica, and for all Rheums and rheumatick Pains in the whole Body. Are any Surfeited with Drunkenne&s;s or Gluttony? let this be their common Drink. Do any eat much Fruit? let them drink much of this; in the Spring time when Humors do increa&s;e make good u&s;e of this: As to the time of drinking it, at any time of the Day, unle&s;s within two or three Hours before going to Bed, for it hinders Sleep, but its Operation will not la&s;t above two or three Hours; you may not fear any hurt by the due and moderate U&s;e of it.</P>

<HEAD>Of <HI>CHOCOLETTE.</HI></HEAD>
<P>IT'S a great Cordial both for Aged people, Middle-aged and Young; it nouri&s;heth the Child in the Womb; it's a great Corroborator, and it doth not only warm and comfort the Coats of the Stomach, but it doth nouri&s;h and re&s;tore Nature where it is debilitated and depraved; it is Hot and Moi&s;t in the &s;econd Degree, and by that Heat which is Moderate it doth in an Extraordinary manner help Dige&s;tion by its warm and &s;trengthning Quality; if a Man or Woman hath eat a full Meal, and are out of order for want of Dige&s;tion, let them take a Cup or two of this, and it &s;hall by that Dige&s;tive faculty which is inhe|rent in it carry it off without any more trouble. It hath been by the u&s;e of a Gentleman well experienced both in Phy&s;ick and Chirurgery mo&s;t admirable for inward Brui&s;es, being given in place of <HI>Mummie, Sperma-ceti,</HI> Iri&s;h-<HI>Slate,</HI> &amp;c. who was by the taking of it him&s;elf &s;imply, as u&s;ually pre|pared in ordinary Hou&s;es, Cured, when having two of his Ribs broken, being at the &s;ame time above Fifty Years of age; and further he &s;aith, that the Virtues of the &s;ame Nut is a mo&s;t Sovereign Medicine or rather Diet for all kind of Weak and Decayed Bodies, of what Age or Sex &s;oever; it hath many other Virtues which for brevi|ties &s;ake are omitted. For any man that doth Travel upon the Road, (as &s;uch there are that cannot eat in the morning,) let them but drink a Di&s;h or two of this, and they may Travel by the &s;trength of it many Miles. All which things are &s;ufficiently known, and can be proved by many who now live in the City of <HI>London,</HI> to their own Experience, for above the&s;e Thirty Years.</P>

<P>IT'S an Herb that groweth in <HI>China</HI> and
<HI>Japonia,</HI> it is moderately Hot and binding; this whol&s;ome Herb pre|&s;erveth in perfect Health till very Old age, it maketh the Body active and lu&s;ty, it helpeth Headach and heavine&s;s thereof, Lippitude, Di&s;tillatious, and difficulty of Breathing, weakne&s;s of the Ventricle, pains of the Bowels, La&s;&s;itude, it is al&s;o good for the Stone, and for any &s;harp Rheums what&s;oever.</P>

<P><HI>The Reader may take notice, that there are many who pretend Skill, and do prepare both</HI> Coffee <HI>and</HI> Chocolette, <HI>but either for want of Judgement in compounding, buying of bad Commodities, or not being at the Charge for doing it well, do vend that which is fal&s;e made up, and &s;o the Operation hath not its proper Effect, which brings it under a di&s;repu|tation. But if any man hath occa&s;ion for that which is good indeed, and really and truly prepared and compounded, let them repair to</HI> Samuel Price <HI>in</HI> Chri&s;t-Church <HI>Ho&s;pital, near</HI> Newgate-&s;treet,
<HI>and they may be furni&s;hed with that which is Pure, and fit for u&s;e, of either Sort, upon his Word.</HI></P>
