<HEAD>A RECOMMENDATION <HI>of that High and mo&s;t Noble Medicine, The E&s;&s;ential</HI> Spirit of Scurvey Gra&s;s <HI>Compound;</HI> The INVENTION and <HI>Preparation of the</HI> Sieur de Vernantes, <HI>a</HI> German <HI>born, Graduated in Phy&s;ick in tho&s;e famous Univer&s;ities,</HI> Montpelier <HI>and</HI> Padua <HI>in</HI> Italy, <HI>&s;ometime Profe&s;&s;or thereof in</HI> Leyden <HI>in</HI> Holland, <HI>and chief</HI> Chymi&s;t <HI>and</HI> Phy&s;ician to that great Lover of Learning and Art, Arch-Duke LEOPOLD; <HI>Communicated by him to</HI> Hen. Clarke <HI>Chymi&s;t and Apo|thecary of</HI> London: <HI>And by him now</HI> Prepared <HI>and</HI> publickly Vended <HI>for tho&s;e who are at this day troubled with that mo&s;t mi&s;erable and Reigning Di&s;ea&s;e the SCURVEY.</HI></HEAD>
<P>WHILST the <HI>Scurvey</HI> was yet but a &s;tranger in this Nation; whil&s;t it Vi&s;ited only &s;ome &s;orts of People, as Sea-faring Per&s;ons, the Inhabi|tants of the Sea-Coa&s;ts, and tho&s;e who&s;e inconvenient ways of living made them &s;ubject to it; whil&s;t the Symptoms were yet more tolerable and con|fin'd, the Signes plain and apparent, and Phy&s;icians not puzled to find out variety of Medicines to Cure it: It was <HI>then</HI> that this Noble Herb call'd <HI>Cochlearia,</HI> or <HI>Spoonwort,</HI> from its <HI>Shape and Figure;</HI> Changed its Name, and was call'd <HI>Scurvey-Gra&s;s,</HI> from a peculiar and <HI>&s;pecifick Quality</HI> which was found in it to Cure this Di&s;ea&s;e which the People u&s;ed diver&s;ly according to their <HI>nece&s;&s;ity</HI> or <HI>fancy.</HI> But no Preparation of it was found &s;o commodious and u&s;eful as the <HI>Spirits</HI> drawn from this Herb, which proved to be of the greate&s;t benefit of any <HI>then</HI> found out. But <HI>when</HI> the <HI>Scurvey</HI> begun to &s;pread it &s;elf abroad, <HI>when</HI> it began to Rage, and &s;eize all &s;orts of People in all places, with violent, malignant and even deadly Symptoms, that neither the&s;e Spirits, nor any <HI>ordinary Medicine</HI> could check its fiercene&s;s, much le&s;s Cure it. It was <HI>then</HI> that the Phy&s;icians Wi&s;dom and Skill appeared, in finding out Medicines more active and effectual, and &s;uch as might totally vanqui&s;h and &s;ubdue this dangerous and deadly <HI>Foe to Mankind;</HI> And when the <HI>Single Spirit of Scurvey-Gra&s;s</HI> was found too weak to do this <HI>great bu|&s;ine&s;s</HI> it was by the great care of the Phy&s;ician enriched and &s;trengthned, by the Addition of many more <HI>powerful</HI> and <HI>&s;pecifick Materials,</HI> and was made the only <HI>&s;ufficient Remedy</HI> to make a perfect Cure of this malignant and Reigning Di&s;|ea&s;e, call'd, <HI>The Scurvey.</HI> This is that Noble Spirit, which from the Hand of this <HI>great Arti&s;t</HI> above mentioned, I do offer to all who at this day &s;uffer under the <HI>Scurvey,</HI> be the &s;ymptoms greater or le&s;s. And in truth, <HI>Reader,</HI> you may herein re&s;t &s;ecure of the mo&s;t &s;afe and certain Remedy in the World; which (as it is the <HI>highe&s;t Antidote</HI> again&s;t the <HI>Scurvey,</HI> &s;o it) is a mo&s;t excellent Medicine
<PB REF="2"> <GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="KEYERS" EXTENT="1 span"> <HI>It Cures the Drop&s;ey even to a wonder, it opens all Ob|&s;tructions what&s;oever, it gives wonderful Relief to the Stomach, quickning the dull Appetite, and helps the Digestion and Concoction of the Victuals: It helps Virgins, who through &s;toppings have lo&s;t their colour, and re&s;tores the lo&s;t Complexion; It expelleth Wind, &s;uppre&s;&s;eth Vapours, helps the Pain and dulne&s;s of the Head, ex|hales all Catarrhs and Rheums, helps Rheumati&s;m and Gout, and al&s;o Pains in the Joynts, Griping in the Guts.</HI> And to be &s;hort, <HI>it clen&s;eth and &s;weetens the whole Ma&s;s of the Blood, and &s;uffers no matter to re&s;ide therein, from whence Di&s;ea&s;es may ari&s;e;</HI> And pre&s;erves the Body in entire and perfect Health, to tho&s;e who u&s;e it con&s;tantly and with Temperance; It is to be taken in &s;ome good Liquors, &s;uch are <HI>Beer, Ale, VVine, Mum,</HI> or the like. But not in <HI>Coffee, Tea,</HI> or &s;uch Drinks as are taken &s;o hot, for the Spirit being fine and &s;ubtil, the purer part of it va|ni&s;heth in the &s;tream before it can be drank off; It is equally u&s;eful at all &s;ea&s;ons of the year; for though the <HI>Spring</HI> and <HI>Fall</HI> are the u&s;ual times for Medicine, yet the&s;e <HI>Spirits</HI> are no le&s;s beneficial at other times; for as in the VVinter they warm the stomach, and give the blood a brisk motion, &s;o in the Summer they keep in the <HI>Spirits</HI> and <HI>natural Heat,</HI> which are apt to &s;uffer by the Heat of the VVea|ther, e&s;pecially upon the lea&s;t Exerci&s;e.
