He can &s;peak indifferently the Language of the <HI>Turks, Moors, Italians, Spaniards, Portugals, French, Dutch, Swedes,</HI> and <HI>Danes.</HI> And for the truth of his great skill in Phy&s;ick and Chirurgery, he hath in&s;erted the three following Certificates, and could have done many more, but that he thought the&s;e &s;ufficient to convince any rea&s;onable Per&s;on.</P>

<P>He hath no Remedies that Cure all Di&s;ea&s;es, for it is only God alone that Cures, or his Me&s;&s;enger Death that ends all Di&s;ea&s;es; but he hath for each &s;everal Di&s;ea&s;e its proper Remedy; as for in&s;tance; he has a Remedy for the Ague which Cures it by one do&s;e the price 2<HI>s</HI> 6<HI>d;</HI> another for the Rheum that falls from the Head on the Teeth, which Cures them in one hour, price 2<HI>s</HI> 6<HI>d;</HI> and one al&s;o for hollow Teeth, or the Worm as &s;ome call it, which Cures it in one hour, price 1<HI>s;</HI> and if the Face be &s;well'd as big as ones Head with the pain thereof, he hath an Ointment which Cures it in 24 hours, price 1<HI>s;</HI> and a Remedy that Cures the Kernels under the Ears in 48 hours, if they were &s;well'd as big as ones fi&s;t, and the party in a hot burning Feaver, price 5<HI>s;</HI> and a Remedy that cureth the black and blue Marks got by Blows, in 48 hours, price 1 <HI>s</HI> 6 <HI>d,</HI> and a pill that Cures the Collick or Griping of the Guts, in one hour, price 1 <HI>s,</HI> and a p<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">ai&s;ter that cureth all pains in the Body, gotten by Falls, Strains, Brui&s;es, or Colds, but e&s;pecially in the Back and Sides in three days, price 5 <HI>s,</HI> it Cures the Sciatica, or Hucklebone-gout, in a wonderful &s;hort rime. Hhe has al&s;o a Remedy again&s;t Childrens Fits, who&s;oever makes u&s;e of it will never be troubled with Fits, he has cured Babes of 3 weeks old of the Ague, and all other curable di&s;tempers in an admirable &s;hort time. It is too tedious to write every particular, as Stone and Gravel and all other Di&s;tempers but whoever makes u&s;e of him &s;hall find him faithful to admiration. He gives B<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">lls with directions how to u&s;e every thing.</P>
<P>He de&s;ires you to take notice, that he does not pretend to cure infallibly all Di&s;ea&s;es, for no judicious Phy&s;ician will pretend to that, it belonging to God alone; but he promi&s;es in the pre&s;ence of Almighty God and the holy Ho&s;t of Heaven, not to undertake the cure of any, but &s;uch as he has good hopes (and grounds to believe) are curable by him. As to his Experience and Knowledge in Phy&s;ic, he dares ven|ture his Life to perform as great cures as any man, he not having hitherto been outdone by any Phy&s;ician in <HI>Europe;</HI> and yet he confe&s;&s;es that the be&s;t Doctor may &s;ometimes (though very &s;eldom, except when the Patient's appointed Time is come) fail; and he has known ignorant per&s;ons in Phy&s;ic and Chirurgery perform &s;ome Cures by accident, when very able Doctors have failed.</P>
<P>He hath lived ever &s;ince 1665, in the pari&s;h of St. <HI>Martins</HI> in the Fields, and St. <HI>Giles</HI> in the Fields, where the able&s;t Doctors of all Nations conver&s;e, who have thought it no di&s;grace, both here and a|broad, to ask his advice in difficult matters, and have found it good to admiration. He Cures all Di|&s;tempers incident to Men, Women and Children, if Curable, and though he dares not pre&s;ume to pretend to Infallibility, that being the Almighty's Prerogative, yet if there be any infallible Remedy, he a&s;&s;ures you they are to be had from him (God having always been graciou&s;ly plea&s;ed in an extraordinary manner to ble&s;s his weak endeavours) for he hath Cured &s;uch as have langui&s;hed under the <HI>Evil</HI> 18, nay 25 years, in le&s;s than two Months; and the <HI>FRENCH-POX</HI> with all its Accidents, as &s;welling of the Cods and Groin, Running of the Reins, Ulcers in the Yard or Throat, falling away of the Pallat, Rottene&s;s in the Gri&s;&s;e-bone of the No&s;e, Sores and Pimples over the whole Body have been cured by him in le&s;s than three Weeks, and for the cure of this Di&s;temper he invites the able&s;t Phy&s;ician of what Kingdom &s;oever, to wager Life or Goods (for he will venture either) to perform it &s;ooner and &s;afer, if the Patient will but keep his Directions, which are &s;o ea&s;y that a new born Child, if it had but &s;en&s;e enough, might ob&s;erve them; through Gods ble&s;&s;ing not having yet met with his equal. He hath Cured &s;uch as have been troubled with the Stone thirty years in 9 days. He has been as &s;ucce&s;sful in all other Di&s;tempers, which are too many to particularize. Such Per&s;ons (whether Sea men or Land-men) as de&s;ire to have either inward Phy&s;ick or outward Medicaments, ready by them, upon all occa&s;ions, may (upon giving him two or three days notice) be furni&s;hed by him, with Dir<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">ctions how to take or apply them; which &s;hall be &s;o excellent in their kind, that he dares engage they &s;hall do as much good in one Week, as what another may give &s;hall do in 3 Months; for he having travelled mo&s;t Countries, has learned by Experience, what phy&s;ick is proper for each Climate. Be not &s;crupulous in ob&s;erving times, le&s;t you provoke God to wrath, for with him all &s;ea&s;ons are proper for re&s;toring his people to Health.</P>
<P>If any good hone&s;t Man have a well educated Son, that he would have in&s;tructed in Phy&s;ic, this Doctor is willing upon any rea&s;onable Terms to undertake it, and make him equal with the be&s;t of Outlandi&s;h Phy&s;icians.</P>
<P><HI>From his Hou&s;e at the lower End of</HI> Cro&s;s-Street <HI>in</HI> Hatton-Garden, <HI>near the</HI> Cradle and Coffin, <HI>and next door but one to a Carpenters yard, and right over again&s;t a Meal Shop; where he may be Spoke with any convenient hour of the Day.</HI></P>
