The Golden Purging SPIRIT of
SCURVT-GR/ISS.
As it was faithfully prepared only by the Author,
Mr. ROBERT BATEMAN.
THIS famous G&hhn Spirit radically cures the feur
vy, a disease which cf late years is become so
epidemical in thtfe northern regions, that fc^rce any
person 'but has, more or left, a TinCture of it.
Its symptoms are various, as look teeth, sere gums
and mouth, little foots in the (kin, faintnefs and ftirfnefs
of limbs, sharp pains in the legs, arms and other parts,
which are ftiil attended with weariaefs a:d indilpufitfon
to move; trie Stomach is depraved, appetite loft, couch
crudity, and indigested matter load the fpieen, and parts
adjacent, which caufeth stubborn obdroeions there ;
whith by the use of this excellent fpirii are removed, and
perfect j cured.
It has a peculiar property in curing the dropsy, expel
ling al those acid and four fail humours which so Iharply
assault and oppress the sensible parts, and daws ft. m the
remoter parts such as fii.k faft to the muscles and nerves,
and takes away all dulnefe, ftiffnet's, and indifeofition,
and other fymptomsthat proceed from thence. It carries
away by urine arid stool that serous watry humour, which
is the occasion of this disease, strengthening the 1 ver
and other parts, thereby preventi g its return afterwards.
It cures the gout, by extracting out of ah parts of the
body those crude and vicious humours which nourish it,
and frees the joints of all other diseases to admira ion.
It diffotes the stone and gravel in the reins, kidnies or
bladder, taking away the original cauie, and forceth
urine.
It cures the green sickness, refloring the maiden blush,
makes the breath sweet, and the body lofty and vigorous.
It opens all obfhuaions both of liver aud-fplcen,
wafting the hardness and swelling thereof. It wonder
full recovers a loft appetite, and 'trips digeftfon.
Itcures griping in the guts, expels wind, out of the
fomach, upwards and downwards.
It is a great preventive of consumptions, roots out
forfeits, and raifeth the patient in a fm 11 time.
It prevents the breeding of worms in children, and
kills them, if already bred.
It is of excellent efe 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 stool
and urine (and if the stomach be very lull and foul, it
sometimes gives a vomit) gently affiftirg nature t carry
off all those noxious humours that annoy her. It gives
no disturbance <0 the body, for griping, toru/ng or in
flaming the bowels, yet operates so efleaually, that
it'leavcth t:b.e 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,relapfe.
