The Golden Purging SPIRIT of
SCURIHG RAS S..
As it was faithfully prepared only bv the Author,
Mr. ROBERT BATEMAN.
rr^HIS famous Golden Spirit radically cures the feur
vy, a diferfe which cf late years is become 'fo
epidemical in these northern regions, ta§ icarce any
person hot has, more o' less, a Tincture of it
Its symptoms ar: various, as loose teeth, lore gums
and mouth, little foots in the (kin faimn^fs and ftiffnefs
of limbs, sharp pains in the legs, armsand other parts,
which are ftili attended with weariness and indifpofuich
to move; the Stomach is depraved, appetite loft, much
crudity, and indigested matter load the foleen, and parts
adjacent, which' caufeth flubborn obHrutliom therey
whrh by the use of this excellent fpiit are Amoved, and
perfectly cured.
It has a peculiar ,rnerty in curing the droply, expel
ling all thffe acid and four fait humours which so sharply
afTault and oppress the fenfi'ofe parts, and draws from the
remoter parts such as fink faft to the muscles and nerves,
and takes away all dulnefs, ftiffoefs, and indisposition,
and other fymptomsthat proceed from thence. It carries
away by urine and stool that serous watry humour, which
is the eccafion of this disease, drengthening' the liver
„d 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 which nourish it,
and frees tbp 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
mrine. „
It cures the green ficknefsy restoring the maiden bluffi,
makes the breath (west, and the body lofty and vigorous.
it opens all obffuftions both of liver and spleen,
wafting the hardness and (welling thereof. It wonder
full recovers a loft appetite, and helps digestion.
It cures griping in the guts, expels wind, out of the
flomach, upwards and downwards.
It is a p p at preventive of confarrp'ions, roots out
forfeits, and raifeth the patient in a I'm >ll 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 phthitick, it gives great
relief.
It difoofes old ulcers to a speedy healing, even to
admiration..
It is very profitable in agues, its operation is by stool
and urine (and if tbb ffomach be very full and foul, it
ft retimes gives a vomit) gently affixing nature to carry
off all those noxious humours that annoy her. It gives
no disturbance to the body, for griping, torturing or in
flmine the bowels, yet operates so effectually, that
it leayeththe 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 inthe body which may afford matter to the growth
of a disease, or endanger a relapse.
