<BYLINE>Prepared and Set forth by <HI>John Holney,</HI> Student in Phy&s;ick, and Apothecary at <HI>Lewis</HI> in <HI>Su&s;&s;ex,</HI> with a De&s;cription of the Scurvy.</BYLINE>
<P>God's great Ble&s;&s;ing to Mankind in this Life, is Health and long Life; the former of which if wanting makes the latter mi&s;erable. And amid&s;t all Di&s;ea&s;es that afflict Mans body, there is none &s;o Epidemical and Raging at this time as the <HI>Scurvy.</HI></P>
<P>The <HI>Scurvy</HI> is a certain evil habit of the whole Body, turning all the Aliment we receive into evil Humours, taking its Original from Crude and Melancholy Humours; the Cau&s;e whereof is for want of good Dige&s;tion in the Stomack, cau&s;ed either by great Ob&s;tructions of the Spleen, Liver, or Me&s;entery, and &s;ometime from Ob&s;tructi|ons of the Sweetbreds, as al&s;o from a raw and undige&s;ted Blood in the whole Body, but chiefly in the Hypochondries or Sides, which offends by a certain &s;pecifick Putre|faction ari&s;ing from our Diet, as &s;alt and windy Meats, and many other things not natural to our Bodies; to which may be added the great Exce&s;s of Tobacco that is generally taken. The Signs of the Scurvy are the&s;e; A Wearine&s;s without cau&s;e; a &s;luggi&s;h Dulne&s;s about the lower Parts of your Body, as if you felt &s;ome great weight; a Weakne&s;s of the Thighs, a Straitne&s;s of the Brea&s;t, and Difficulty of Breathing; al&s;o the Strength much impaired; a Redne&s;s and Itching in the Gums; the Face grows pale; the Pul&s;e &s;mall and unequal; the Teeth grow loo&s;e and often ake; be&s;ides there is a Corruption of the Gums, and a great Stinking of the Breath; the Thighs and Legs are full of purple &s;pots, al&s;o &s;ometimes red and livid, or inclining to blackne&s;s, at other times yellow, according to the Con&s;titution and evil State of the Body. There is al&s;o a great Weakne&s;s in the Joynts, Pains in the Shoulders, Sides, Hipps, Thighs, Knees, and Legs; moreover there is many times great Pain in the Head, Stomack, and Back. This Di&s;ea&s;e many times (<HI>Proteus</HI> like) &s;hews it &s;elf in &s;everal Dre&s;|&s;es, as <HI>Eugalenus</HI> formerly, and &s;ince our learned Country-Man Dr. <HI>Willis</HI> hath taken particular notice of; as the <HI>Pal&s;y, Chollick Pains Convul&s;ions, Gouts, Fluxes of the Belly,</HI> and many times very <HI>co&s;tive Swounings, Pluri&s;ies, Apoplexies, Falling-Sickne&s;s, Drop|&s;ies, &s;otti&s;h Sleepine&s;s,</HI> and <HI>Feavers</HI> of all kinds. This Di&s;ea&s;e, if not cured in time, grows very dangerous, many dying &s;uddenly thereof, &s;ome break out into evil Ul|cers, others fall blind, &s;ome fall into Con&s;umptions, others into Drop&s;ies.</P>
<P>The&s;e Pills cure all Di&s;ea&s;es incident to the Brain, if taken in time, as <HI>Vertigo, Ap|poplexy, Lethargy, Headach, Falling-Sickne&s;s, Pal&s;y, Madne&s;s, Frenzy, Dizine&s;s;</HI> like|wi&s;e they cure Ulcers in any part of the Body, although in the Legs. I have cured &s;everal of long &s;tanding, and all other Di&s;tempers that are po&s;&s;ible to be cured by pur|ging, which my printed Books that are given out with each Box of Pills will further inform you. I &s;hall now only inform you of three or four very &s;trange Cures that have been performed by my Pills &s;ince the printing of my Books, wherein you may find betwixt thirty or forty more, which may &s;atisfie any indifferent Per&s;on of the Goodne&s;s of the&s;e Pills; my purpo&s;e being only at pre&s;ent by giving the&s;e Papers about to make them more fully known: for &s;everal Per&s;ons that have taken
<PB N="2" REF="2" MS="y">them in <HI>London</HI> have been cured of &s;everal Di&s;tempers in a very &s;hort &s;pace, and with &s;mall charge, when all other Medicines could effect no Cure upon them.</P>
<P>Mr. <HI>Thomas Patrick,</HI> Butcher in little <HI>Ea&s;t-Cheap,</HI> can acquaint you of the Gentle|mans Name and Place of Abode, that was very much troubled with the <HI>Kings-evil,</HI> and was twice touched by his Maje&s;ty, and afterwards u&s;ed &s;everal other Remedies though to no purpo&s;e, was notwith&s;tanding cured in a very &s;hort &s;pace by the u&s;e of the&s;e Pills.</P>
<P><HI>Ann,</HI> the Wife of <HI>John Gratwick</HI> of <HI>Shermanbury,</HI> E&s;q; being very much troubled with the yellow Jaundi&s;e, her Face and whole Body being very yellow, or rather of a &s;affron colour, her appetite lo&s;t, and &s;he worn away to skin and bones; after &s;eve|ral Remedies u&s;ed by a very able Doctor for her Cure (although to no purpo&s;e) was throughly cured by the u&s;e of the&s;e Pills.</P>
<P>The Widow <HI>Fenn,</HI> alias <HI>Fenner,</HI> living in <HI>Hayton-Street</HI> in the Pari&s;h of <HI>We&s;t-Furle</HI> in <HI>Su&s;&s;ex,</HI> being troubled with a <HI>Drop&s;y</HI> for a long time, &s;o that her Belly and Legs were mightily &s;welled, the &s;mall of her Legs being as big as the Thighs of mo&s;t Men, and withal very A&s;tmatical, &s;o that &s;he could hardly breath, having made u&s;e of &s;everal Phy&s;icians for her Cure, but all un&s;ucce&s;sful, was at la&s;t per&s;waded to make u&s;e of my Pills; and by the u&s;e of 7 or 8 <HI>s.</HI> worth of them was throughly cured. Atte&s;ted by the Mini&s;ter of the <HI>Pari&s;h</HI> with &s;everal other Neighbours.</P>
<P><HI>John Harwood</HI> of <HI>Alci&s;ton</HI> being very much troubled with the <HI>Scurvy,</HI> having a great pain in his Head and Stomack, no Appetite to his Victuals; he was troubled likewi&s;e with a great pain all over his Limbs, as al&s;o a great <HI>Ophthalmia</HI> or Inflam|mation of his Eyes; was cured of all the&s;e Di&s;tempers in a very &s;hort &s;pace by ta|king one whole Box of the&s;e <HI>Pills.</HI></P>
<P>I might mention many other Cures which I &s;hall forbear, having referred the Reader to the printed Books.</P>
<P>La&s;tly, the&s;e <HI>Pills</HI> will leave no Man un&s;atisfied that makes u&s;e of tthem, for they o|pen all Ob&s;tructions what&s;oever, and purifie the whole Ma&s;s of Blood and Nervous Juice from all Heterogenous Admixture what&s;oever. They exactly cure the <HI>Lues Venerea,</HI> and do free the Body from all Impurities.</P>
<P>The Method and Order of taking the&s;e <HI>Pills</HI> is fully de&s;cribed in my printed Books, which are given with each Box of Pills.
