<HEAD>Nothing without God: Performed by <HI>John Choke,</HI> (approved Phy&s;ician; and farther, Priviledged by his Maje&s;ty); or, in his ab&s;ence, by <HI>Clement Blewton</HI> and <HI>John Bemston,</HI> Students in Phy&s;ick.</HEAD>
<P><HI>ELixir Capitalis totius mundi; vel Nepenthe Authoritica;</HI> or, the only <HI>Elixir</HI> in the World, for the thorow-Cure of the <HI>GO&V;T, Drop&s;ie, Agues</HI> of all &s;orts, as <HI>Ter|tian, Quartan,</HI> and <HI>Quotidian;</HI> the <HI>Stone, Falling-Sickne&s;s, Scurvey, Cholick; Pluri&s;ie</HI> without Bleeding: All the&s;e Di&s;ea&s;es we Cure Infallibly (by the A&s;&s;i|&s;tance of God) in a very &s;hort time, taking away the Cau&s;e in &s;uch a manner, as that the Patient may never doubt of a Relap&s;e into the &s;ame Di&s;temper.</P>
<P>I am &s;en&s;ible that the Vulgar will not admit that there is any Cure for the <HI>GO&V;T:</HI> nei|ther have they Rea&s;on, &s;eeing there have been &s;o many Pretenders which come &s;hort. It is an Arcane which I had in <HI>Germany,</HI> from the Famous and mo&s;t Learned <HI>Bapti&s;ta Van-Helmont,</HI> of worthy Memory (who&s;e Daughter I Wedded) and who&s;e Prae&s;cripts mo&s;t Phy&s;icians follow. This <HI>Elixir</HI> extracts from all parts of the Patient's body, tho&s;e crude and vi&s;cous humours, which are the occa&s;ion of the <HI>GO&V;T</HI> in general, as <HI>Arthritis;</HI> or in particular, as either <HI>Chiragra, Genogra, Sciatica,</HI> or <HI>Podagra.</HI> If there be any among&s;t you, willing to be freed from that Malignant di&s;temper, (by the a&s;&s;i&s;tance of God) you &s;hall receive a perfect Cure in very few days; fir&s;t, by applying a <HI>Balm,</HI> being an Ex|ternal Topick, or Application, which gives ea&s;e to the violency of the Gout-pains in two hours, to the &s;atisfaction and ea&s;e of the Patient, and admiration of Spectators; thwarthing that opinionated fal&s;ity <Q LANG="lat">Nodo&s;am ne&s;cit medicina curare podagram.</Q></P>

<P> I am not yet throughly re&s;olved, whether to come down, or not; but, in the mean time, have thought fit to &s;end down Mr. <HI>Clement Blewton,</HI> and Mr. <HI>John Bem&s;ton,</HI> Stu|dents in Phy&s;ick, whom I have in&s;tructed in my way of practice, &amp; do make u&s;e of my Me|dicines. <HI>Thomas Odored,</HI> E&s;q. Decea&s;ed (was al&s;o of my in&s;tructing) who was &s;o Fa|mous in Curing the <HI>GO&V;T,</HI> and many other Di&s;tempers Chronick; unto whom his Ma|je&s;ty recommended a Patient of the <HI>Falling-Sickne&s;s,</HI> adding, that he was per&s;waded he could Cure him, and there followed an admirable Cure in one days Admini&s;tration of Medicines: Of this, and &s;everal other miraculous Cures, there is a Book in Print, which is no idle Pamphlet, but Dedicated to the mo&s;t Reverend Father in God, <HI>Gilbert,</HI> by Di|vine Providence, Lord Arch-Bi&s;hop of <HI>Canterbury.</HI> He u&s;ed no other Medicines but what I taught him in Chymi&s;try.</P>
<P>I could treat particularly of each Di&s;ea&s;e, and its &s;ymptoms, but am unwilling to bur|then the Reader: VVe have &s;everal &s;pecifical Medicins for Di&s;ea&s;es of the <HI>Eyes, Head, Stomack, Jaundies, Feavers,</HI> Morbum-Gallicum, <HI>Con&s;umptions, Griping of the Guts, Sur|fets, Melancholy, Spleen, Rickets in Children, Green-&s;ickne&s;s, Fits of the Mother;</HI> with all Di&s;ea&s;es incident to VVomen; pre&s;ent ea&s;e to <HI>Tooth ach,</HI> without drawing; <HI>Gonorrhaea,</HI> and weakne&s;s in the back, with other Di&s;ea&s;es curable. VVe have Pills, both good and cheap, for purging the blood, fortifying the body again&s;t Di&s;tempers &amp; ill Air, re&s;toring the Spirits of tho&s;e which decline by hard-drinking and Night-watching, which occa&s;ions Surfets, Drop&s;ies, and many other Di&s;tempers; obtains a good Stomack where Appe|tite is lo&s;t. I could mention many more Virtues, but, for brevity, &s;hall omit them, being you may have advice at any time; this being a good time of the year, neglect not your Health, &s;ince God hath been plea&s;ed to &s;end a means.</P>
<P>It's needle&s;s to declare my Forrain-actions, and the many thou&s;and Cures I have per|fected in <HI>London.</HI> I Cured the Duke of <HI>Buckingham</HI> of an Ague, when all Phy&s;icians had left him: In a word, my Cures have been &s;o many and wonderful, that his Maje&s;ty was plea&s;ed to &s;end for me, and as a mark of his Royal Plea&s;ure, gave me his Authority to practi&s;e in any of his Dominions, without any Controle. VVe are not come for Lucre of Gain, but, our opinion of doing Good to the Poor as well as others, was not the lea&s;t motive that brought us hither; &amp; &s;ince we are come down, thought it requi&s;ite to di&s;per&s;e a few of the&s;e Adverti&s;ements for the particular Informations of &s;uch as e&s;teem their Health. If you bring a true relation of the Sick per&s;on's Indi&s;po&s;ition, or his true Water, you may have proper Medicines for the Cure; we have &s;o much Reputation that we &s;hall not undertake more than we can Cure: As for the Poor, &s;uch as are Relieved by the Pari&s;h, if they come in &s;ea&s;on, we &s;hall as readily a&s;&s;i&s;t them for Charity, as the Rich for Money.</P>
<P>The two Per&s;ons, afore&s;aid, do Admini&s;ter my Medicines according to my Directions: I Live my &s;elf in the Strand, <HI>London;</HI> but you that are near this Town, need not give your &s;elves farther trouble, but repair to the <GAP DESC="blank" EXTENT="1 span"> in <GAP DESC="blank" EXTENT="1 span"> where my Friends have Medicines, and in&s;tructed to perform any Cures, as well, as though I were pre&s;ent, in every particular: They may be &s;poken with, any hour of the day <GAP DESC="blank" EXTENT="1 span"> at the afore&s;aid place, where you &s;hall find &s;ome of the&s;e Ad|verti&s;ements &s;ticked up at the Door.</P>
