<P>This ANTIDOTE is an admirable Pre&s;ervative again&s;t all Contagious, Pe&s;tilential and Epidemick Di&s;ea&s;es; expells all manner of Poy&s;ons, and purifies and &s;weetens the whole Ma&s;s of Blood; wa&s;ts, con&s;umes and drives out, by Sweat and Urine, the corrupt and vicious Humours of the Body, and di&s;po&s;es Running Sores and Ulcers, as well Internal as External, to heal and cure; and &s;uffers no offen&s;ive Humours to remain in the Body, no, though they lie in the very Bones; and is very good for driving out the Small-pox, Mea&s;les, and the like malignant and putrid Di&s;ea&s;es.</P>
<P>It cures all Colds and Pains in the Head, Coughs, Rheums and Hoar&s;ene&s;s, and wonderfully &s;trengthens and relieves the Brea&s;t and Lungs oppre&s;s'd with <HI>A&s;tma's,</HI> Phthi&s;icks, Pleuri&s;ies, <HI>&amp;c.</HI> prevents and re&s;tores People falling into Con&s;umptions, and helps to admiration tho&s;e that linger under long and wa&s;ting Di&s;ea&s;es; cheers the Heart, and re&s;i&s;ts the Pa&s;&s;ions thereof, Palpitations, Fainting, Swoonings, Sadne&s;s, Melancholy; corroborates the Stomach, encrea&s;eth Appetite, promotes Di|ge&s;tion, and is of &s;ingular Virtue in all Surfeits, Crudities and Indige&s;tion of the Stomach and Bowels; kills Worms in Children, and de&s;troys the morbifick matter from whence they are bred; cures Loo&s;e|ne&s;s, and Griping Fluxes of the Belly, whether Bloody or other: and therefore mo&s;t nece&s;&s;ary for all Sea-faring Men.</P>
<P>It comforts and &s;trengthens the <HI>Vi&s;cera,</HI> Liver and Spleen, and opens all Ob&s;tructions thereof; and both prevents and cures all <HI>Cachexia's</HI> or evil habits of the Body, as the Scurvy, with all its Symp|toms, the Drop&s;ie and Jaundice; and has a mo&s;t incomparable Specifick quality for the Cure of Agues, and intermitting Fevers of all &s;orts, <HI>(viz.)</HI> Quotidian, Tertian, Quartan, if prudently and &s;ea&s;onably made u&s;e of.</P>
<P>This Noble ANTIDOTE ea&s;eth all Pains and Wearine&s;s in the Body and Limbs, which are the frequent fore-runners of approaching Sickne&s;s; and by its innate propriety a&s;&s;wages the violent Pains in the Gout, (<GAP DESC="foreign">. Anth. lib. 3. chap. 13.) and both prevents and hinders the frequent return of the Fits, and by corroborating and &s;trengthning the Nerves and Tone of the Stomach and Bowels, expels it thence, and defends them from its A&s;&s;aults.</P>
<P>In the Female Sex it wonderfully repels Vapours, &s;trangling and &s;uffocating Fits of the Mother; prevents Abortion and Mi&s;carriage in Women, occa&s;ion'd from windy, cold and moi&s;t Humours; and may advantageou&s;ly and &s;afely be taken by Women with Child after Vomitings, in their Fainting-Fits, and Stomach-Qualms.</P>

Anth.) moi&s;t or putrid Hu|mours in the Bodies of Men, Women and Children, there is not a more Noble Medicine to be found; and is more &s;afe, and by far exceeds the ancient Compo&s;itions of <HI>Mithridate</HI> and <HI>Venice-Treacle,</HI> tho&s;e grand Medicines of the Apothecaries, which no one of them ever did or could make True:
