The Golden Purging SPIRIT of
SCURVY-GRASS.
As it was faithfully prepared only by the Author,
Mr. ROBERT BATEMAN.
THIS fimcuCGolden Spirit radically cures the feur
vy, a difeaft which of late years is become so
epidemical is these northern regions, that scarce any
person but has, more ore less, a 'I insure of it.
Its fymptems are various, as loose teeth, fore gums
and mouth, little spots in the skin, faintnefs and ftiffnefs
of limbs, sharp pains in the legs, armsand other parts,
which are still attended with weariness and indilpofition
to move; the Stomach is depraved, appetite loft, much
crudity, and indigested matter load the fpleea, and parts
adjacent, which caufeth stubborn obflrudions there ;
which by the use of this excellent spirit are removed, and
perfectly cured.
It has a peculiar property in curing the dropsy, expel
ling all those acid and four salt humours which so sharply
assault and oppress the fcnfible parts, and draws from the
remoter parts such as stick faft to the mufc!e\ and nerves,
and takes away all dulnefs, ftiffnefs, and indilpofition,
and other symptoms that proceed from thence. It carries
away by urine and stool that serous watry humour, which
is the occasion of this disease, strengthening the liver
and other parts, thereby preventing its return afterwards.
It cures the gout, by extracting out of all parts of the
body those crude and vicious humours mhich nourish it,
and frees the joints of all other diseases to admiration.
It diffoles the stone and gravel in the reins, kidnies or
bladder, taking away the original cause, and forceth
urine.
It perfectly cures hypochondriac melancholy, op
posing and carrying sff black, mixed, crude, indigested
humours, as enemies to nature.#
It cures the green sickness, restoring tht maiden blush,
makes the breath sweet, and the body lusty and vigorous.
It opens all obftru&ions both of liver and spleen,
wafting the hardnefa and swelling thereof. It wonder
full recovers a loft appetite, and helps digestion.
It cures griping in the guts, expels wind, out of the
stomach, upwards and downwards.
It is a great preventive of consumptions, roots out
forfeits, and raifeth the patient in a small time.
It prevents the breeding of worms in children, and
kills them, if already bred.
It is of excellent use for fea-faring persons.
In womens distempers it is very beneficial, and to
those that are afflicted with the phthifick, it gives great
relief.
It disposes old ulcers to a speedy healing; even to
admiration.,
It is very profitable in agues, its operation is by /tool
and urine (and if the stomach be very full and foul, it
Sometimes gives a vomit) gently assisting nature to carry
off all those noxious humours that annoy her. It gives
no disturbance to the body, for griping, torturing or in
flaming the bowels, yet operates so effectually, that
it leaveth the body refreshed, and the diseases vanquished ;
and to fay all in a Word, as it takes nothing in the Body
which may conduce to its preservation, so it leaves no
thing in the body which may afford matter to the growth
of a disease, or endanger a relapse.
