Of the GONORRHAEA.

THe firſt Degree of Infection appears in Men, with a Gentle Running or dropping from the Urinary Paſſage, pro⯑ducing a pleaſant Senſation, and as it were glewing up the Orifice, the Extremity of the Urethra, grows hot, and gapes wider than uſual. The Parts of Generation are affected with an uncommon Titula⯑tion, eſpecially at the Time of making Water, without Pain, but with a Senſe of Heat that daily increaſes.

If the Infection ſpreads, or is not ſo mild, the Tention and Induration of the Penis come on with Pain, thick Drops of the more fluid part of the Semen, or Seed, flow in greater Quan⯑tity, of a yellowiſh or greeniſh Colour, often with Heat, Redneſs, Tenderneſs, ſmall puſtles, Bliſters and Ulcers both within and without the Urinary Paſ⯑ſage, with great Sharpneſs and Senſe of Heat, through the whole Urethra after making Water.

The next Symptoms are more violent, the Perineum ſwells, grows painful, the Urine ſcalds, with frequent Provocations [6]to make Water, and but a little at a Time, with a Diſtortion and Bending of the Penis, called a Cordee, with frequent and involuntary Erections, occaſioning great Pain to the Patient, on every ſuch Occaſion, and when warm in Bed, a violent Running Phimoſis, or Paraphi⯑moſis, that is when the Fore-skin is ei⯑ther ſo ſwell'd as it cannot be brought forward to cover the Nut of the Yard, or that it cannot be drawn backward, one or both of the Teſticles, or Stones ſwelled and enraged with Pain, increa⯑ſing as the Gleet or Running is ob⯑ſtructed. Sometime cauſing cold Trem⯑bling and Fainting, but as they abate ſo the Running multiplies, and comes away more freely, of an Aſh-colour, ſome⯑times marked with Specks, Streaks, or Threads of Blood; ſtinking, yellow, green, and corrupt, and theſe are the uſual or common Claps.

WOMEN. The Caſe is almoſt the ſame in Women, but this is to be obſerved, That after the Infection is received, the Female Parts of Generation are wet with an unuſual Moiſture, and are troubled with frequent Itching and Heat, almoſt painful and daily advances.

The Heat, Burning, Redneſs and Pain of the Vagina, or Urinary-paſſage, being in⯑creaſed, the Admiſſion of the Penis is ſcarcely to be indur'd: The Urine is ſharp and ſcalding, but in general not ſo ſharp as in Men, the Running plentiful, like Matter, bloody, yellow, green, and ſtink⯑ing, and by the Tention of the Pudendum and Vagina, bring on great Pain.

If the Running is of a clear white, or aſh-colour, and any Thing ropy, ſhews the Infection ſlight.

If of a Saffron Colour, dark yellow, or brown, from being mixt and diſcoloured with Blood, is the ſecond Degree of a Clap.

If a yellowiſh green, green, or very dark green, mixt with Matter plainly ſhews that the Inflamation is attended with Ulcers, and is the laſt Stage of a Clap.

All theſe different Symptoms appear, but vary according to the Temperament of Body, Habit and Conſtitution of the Patient, and the greater or leſſer Degree of the Infection, and the Diſtance of Time ſince the Injury was receiv'd.

You are to obſerve, That the greater the Degree of the Venereal Poiſon is, the ſooner it appears, but a ſlight Hurt will remain for ſometime before it ſhews itſelf; but the ſooner it appears the eaſier [8]is the Cure perform'd. From what hath been ſaid it plainly appears, That there are Three Diſtinct SPECIES of the Gonorrhaea, which only differ in Degree, the Firſt will eaſily degenerate into the Second, the Second into the Third, if the Vehemence of the Symptoms be not quickly reſtrain'd.

Theſe Three Degrees are divided into Four Stages, that is, the Beginning, Increaſe, Height, and Declintion.

Neither Man or Woman can indulge in the Uſe of Venery, whilſt they are in this State of a Gonorrhaea, without violent Pain; and what is worſe, without mani⯑feſtly increaſing the Diſeaſe.

The firſt Thing to be conſider'd is, to learn and underſtand your own Caſe, by obſerving the Nature of it; there⯑fore it is expedient to remark, what Effect the Venereal Poiſon hath on the Body, according to the ſeveral Symp⯑toms herein before diſcribed, whereby you will plainly diſcover the Degree of Infection, and by that Means be directed in the Method of Cure.

I proceed now to give proper Directi⯑ons to each Perſon to cure this Diſeaſe in its ſeveral Stages, and ſhall trace them all in a Regular Manner; but obſerve [9]that every Gonorrhaea, if Medicines are timely adminiſtred, is free from Danger, and eaſily admits of a Cure, ſooner or later, in Proportion to the Vehemence of the Symptoms, the Acrimony of the Infection, and the Conſtitution of the Blood; but if neglected, and come to a great Hight, is ſometime before it will yield to any Medicine, therefore too early an Application cannot be made for Cure.

An Information therefore follows of ſuch Antivenereal Remedies as are in⯑dued with all the Natural Qualities re⯑quiſite to perform a ſpeedy and ſafe Cure, in all the Caſes herein deſcribed, and that the Patient may be directed, and readily know how to be furniſhed with all ſuch Medicines, and be ſecure from all Bad Preparations, (ſold at ſe⯑veral Shops in London) by Authors who conceal their Names, which they would have no Occaſion to do, did their Pre⯑parations anſwer what they pretend for them.

1. The Firſt Degree of this Diſtem⯑per being Exterior, and only in the Top of the Urinary-paſſage, may be cured by External Means, for as that part is [10]of a Spongy Nature, it as eaſily imbibes any Liquid, as the Venereal Poiſon, for which the INCOMPARABE LOTION, or WASH is recommended as the moſt eaſy and private Method of Cure what⯑ſoever.

And this is performed by only pour⯑ing ſome of the Liquid into a Cup, waſhing the part with it, and ſoaking it therein two or three Times a Day, for two or three Minutes together or longer, as you have an Opportunity; but be ſure to let the Water cover the Nut of the Yard, and to take freſh Liquor for every Waſhing. Surely no Perſon that is not in Love with Pills, Bolus, and Electuaries, will refuſe ſo eaſy a Cure as this, and ſo ſoon performed.

This Remedy muſt be of ſingular Be⯑nefit to all Travellers, who cannot poſ⯑ſibly take Phyſick on their Journey, therefore this LOTION is adviſed to them, let the Degree of Infection be what it will, for if not to be cured by this Remedy alone, yet it will moſt cer⯑tainly prevent their growing worſe, un⯑til they have an Opportunity of taking other Medicines, which muſt be of great Advantage to them.

Thoſe who are taking phyſick, if they uſe this INCOMPARABLE LOTION will ſoon find it to forward the Cure to Ad⯑miration, by drawing out the Infecti⯑ous Venom, while the Internal Medi⯑cines by their anodine and detergent Qualities aſſwage the pain, and cleans the Ulcers of the Seminary Receptacles.

This LOTION is to be had only of the Author RIHARD ROCK, at his Houſe in King's-Arms-Court, Ludgate-Hill, and ready to be deliver'd to any Meſſenger, by asking for a Bottle of Wa⯑ter for the Scurvy, Price 4 s. 6 d. where you may have Advice and proper Re⯑medies (prepared by the Author) in all other Diſorders.

As ſometimes the Cure will not be performed perfectly by the LOTION only, by Reaſon of the Diſpoſition of the parts of Generation; for ſome Ve⯑nom may lay hid in the Wrinkles of the Frenum or Prepnce, and the leaſt Seeds of Morbifick Matter being introduced into a Sound Body, in the ſmalleſt Quantity, will by Degrees increaſe, in Bulk, Form and Efficacy, and ſooner or later, infect and corrupt the whole Maſs of Humours.

Therefore for Fear of ſuch an Acci⯑dent, and to make the Cure certain and ſafe, the INFALLIBLE ANTIVE⯑NEREAL BOLUS is recommended, which is pleaſant to take, and will moſt certainly eradicate any Lurking Poiſon, which the Water may not happen to reach, two or three of which will be ſuf⯑ficient to perform the Cure, without any Danger of Return. To be had as be⯑fore directed, by asking for the BOLUS for the RHEUMATISM, Price 1 s. each. Thoſe who ſuſpect they have received an Injury, or have any Relicts of a for⯑mer Diſorder, may by taking a Doſe or two, be perfectly freed from ſuch Apprehenſions.

This Medicine hath no unpleaſant Taſte, never cauſes any Sickneſs, Gripe⯑ings, or other Diſorders of the Body, eſpecially after the Firſt Doſe or two. But as the very Name of Phyſick is nau⯑ſeous to ſome Perſons, they may wet a piece of Wafer in a Spoon by dipping it into Water, then put in the Bolus and cover it with the Wafer, and then there can be no Taſte, but of the Water only in taking it. Theſe Wafers are to be [13]had at every Confectioner's, you may have a great many for 2 d.

Be ſure to abſtain from all Acts of Venery whilſt under Cure, for one ſingle Act will increaſe the Diſorder more than three Doſes of Phyſick can rectify.

The leſs Wine or Strong Liquor that you drink the better; but Spirituous Liquors muſt not be touched, yet you may in the Evening drink a Glaſs or two of Wine to ſupport the Spirits, if you find Occaſion, always remembring the leſs you drink of Strong Liquors the better: Neither ſhould you eat any High-ſeaſon'd Meats, Pepper, or other Spice, and the more ſpareing you are in Diet, much the ſooner will the Cure be perfected, for the more Impure Bodies are nouriſhed, the worſe they grow al⯑ways. But to drink plentifully of Small-Beer, or Milk and Water a little warm, when the Phyſick is not working, is good, and Water-Gruel or Green Tea at all Times. Of any of theſe Liquors you cannot drink too much.

You may go Abroad while you take Phyſick, but be careful to guard againſt Wet, Windy, or very Cold Weather; at [14]ſuch Times it is beſt to confine yourſelf, if your Affairs permit.

2d. For the Second Degree of Infec⯑tion, the Perſon that hath this Diſorder muſt take a Bolus every other Day, very early in the Morning until he finds the Heat of Urine gone, and the Running decreaſed, or but little in Quantity, neat, clear and white, and become ſomewhat Ropy, which will appear by touching ſome of it with your Finger and Thumb, and pulling them aſſunder gently; and if it draws out in Strings, or ropy, in ſuch Caſe you may be aſſured the Cure is near perfected, and nothing then remains but to ſtrengthen the Weakned parts; ſo then he muſt leave off taking any more Phyſick, and take of the Balſamick Reſtrictive ELIXIR, 50 Drops betimes every Morning, at Four in the After⯑noon, and at Night going to Reſt, al⯑ways faſting an Hour before and after taking it, and this you muſt continue un⯑til the Running is wholly ceaſed.

It neither purges or gives any Man⯑ner of Diſorder, but keeps the Body in a due Temperament, ſtrengthning all Weakneſs of the Back, Genitals, and Reins, Seminal and Urinary Veſſels, and [15]thereby moſt certainly prevents a Gleet, which frequently happens after a Vene⯑real Injury, for want of taking ſuch Re⯑ſtrictive and Strengthning Medicines.

If the Heat of Urine ſhould be vio⯑lent, during the Time you are taking Phyſick, or that you are troubled with a Stranguary or Difficulty in making Wa⯑ter, beſides the Bolus, he muſt take of the following Diuretick Powder, drink⯑ing plentifully as often as you can, too much you cannot, of thin Water-Gruel, Green Tea, or Milk and Water a little warmed, ſweetned to your Taſte with Sugar, and this muſt be continued until ſuch Uneaſineſs and Pain is gone.

This will occaſion you to make Water in a conſiderable Quantity at each Time, and clear or of a pale Colour; if of a high Colour, it is for want of drinking ſo much of thoſe Liquors as you ought

3d. Now if from the great Acrimony, or Quantity of the received Infection; from the Neglect of applying proper Re⯑medies, [16]in Time, to check the Diſorder; from great Irregularity in Drinking, or Diet; from the previous Acrimony of the Blood; or from the Weakneſs of the Parts the Symptoms increaſe, then ariſes the Hight or laſt Stage of a Clap,

For the Cure of which, the Patient muſt obſerve all the Rules and Direc⯑tions before given in the Slighter Caſes of this Diſorder, and ought to take the Quantity of a ſmall Nut on the point of a Knife, every other Morning, of the Moſt Noble ANTIVENEREAL ELEC⯑TUARY, or ſo much as he finds will give him five or ſix Stools, until the Heat of Urine is gone, and the Run⯑ning appears clear, &c. as before, and then the BALSAMICK ELIXIR is to be taken as in other Caſes; by taking of which (and obſerving all former Di⯑rections) in a very ſhort Time the Heat of Urine, all Soreneſs and Pain, will be perfectly removed, and all other uneaſy Symptoms.

In ſome Perſons Six Doſes of this moſt Excellent ELECTUARY, will carry off all the Malignant Diſorder, in others 10, 12, or more are required, according to the Teperament of Body, or the [17]Stubborneſs of the Diſeaſe, and as the Party ſhall be more or leſs abſtinnous.

I would not have any think the Cure long, for nothing can be more perniti⯑ous to the Patient, than too ſhort a Cure, (if it may be termed ſo) for by ſtopping the Running ſo ſuddenly, the Blood and Juices are infected, the Patient poxed, and probably he and his Poſterity ruin'd; whereas when all the Degrees of this Diſeaſe are wholly taken off, not too ſud⯑denly, but by a due Method and proper Remedies, which is the onle ſafe and ſure Way, there can be no Danger of any ill Conſequences following, which this Ele⯑ctuary, I aver, will perform.

One Thing more I have to offer, that is, whoever takes of this Electuary, will never be troubled with a Gleet, which moſt of the other common purging Me⯑dicines will do. The Price of this Ele⯑ctuary is 6 s. a Pot. Enquire for a Pot of Electuary for the Gout.

As we have given particular Inſtructi⯑ons for curing the Three Degrees of a Gonorrhaea, in order that the Party affli⯑cted might the better underſtand the dif⯑ferent Applications neceſſary for each Diſorder, and ſhewn how eaſy the Cure [18]may be made by the uſe of the before⯑mention'd Medicines, but becauſe ſome few People amongſt the other Symptoms of the Diſeaſe herein before diſcribed, are afflicted with Buboes, Chancres, Phimoſis, Paraphimoſis, and ſwell'd Teſticles, ſome⯑thing ſhall be ſaid on each of them in particular.

Of the Phimoſis, and Paraphimoſis.

WHen the Prepuce is ſwell'd, ſo that it embraces the Glans, that it can⯑not by no Means be drawn back, this in Greek is call'd Phimoſis, that is to ſay, a Binding, ſometimes it is ſo corrugated and lighten'd behind the Crown of the Glans, that it cannot be brought for⯑ward, this is call'd Paraphimoſis, that is to ſay, a Ligature round about.

Where theſe Caſes happen, there fre⯑quently ſprings up upon the Face of the Glans, which is laid bare in the Paraphi⯑moſis, or upon the Margin of the Prepuce, with which it is cover'd in the Phimoſis, ſeveral Watery Bladders, filled with a thin or thick Limph, ſometimes cccupy⯑ing the Crown, ſometimes the extreme Point, and ſometimes the Side of the Glan; nay, they ſometimes ariſe upon the Prepuce, or Frenum, and is attended with Pain, Inflamation and Strangury.

WOMEN. In Women the Labia, Nymphae, Clitoris, Prepuce, and the Carunculae Myr⯑tiformes, which beſet the Mouth of the Vagina, being afflicted with malignant Ulcers, are ſwell'd or inflated, in the ſame Manner as the Prepuce and Glans in Men.

TUMOUR of the TESTICLES.

IT frequently happens in a Gonorrhaea, that one or both of the Teſticles ſwells, from the Reſtraining or Suppreſſion of the Virulent Semen, that ought to flow from the Seminary Veſicles in the Gonorrhaea, from this an Inflamatory Tumour of the Teſticles is produc'd.

If the Venereal Poiſon hath conceal'd itſelf in the Blood, the Semen will be frequently thickned, and ſtick to the Sides of the Spermatic Veſſels, in an infinite Number of hard Knobs; from hence proceed the Diſtention and Swelling of thoſe Veſſels, and the Inflamatory Tu⯑mour of the Testicles: This Diſorder is not accompany'd with a Gonorrhaea, and ariſes from a hidden Pox.

Of a DRY GONORRHAEA, or rather the DRY VENEREAL DYSURIA.

THeſe are Diſorders that but rarely oc⯑cur, and therefore are but ſeldom treated of; yet I think with good Rea⯑ſon, that a particular Account of theſe Complaints ought to be ſet forth, that all Perſons who are afflicted, with this Di⯑ſtemper, may be inform'd of it and the Method of Cure, which being neglected, will ſoon diſperſe it ſelf thro' and cor⯑rupt the whole Maſs of Blood, to the ut⯑ter Ruin of the Party, and perhaps De⯑ſtruction [28]of a whole Family, which may be hereby prevented.

In this Caſe the Patient is afflicted with a ſharp burning difficulty in making Water, without making any diſcharge of Purulent Semen, or Seed, or at leaſt with an exceeding ſmall Matter, for at that Time the internal Parts of the Urethra, or Urinary-paſſage, ſuffering great Tention and Inflammation, occaſi⯑ons very acute Pain from the Urine that flows over it, the very Urine in the Bladder contracts great Heat from the inflam'd Parts.

The Strangury comes on which is at⯑tended with heat, pain, redneſs, and ſwel⯑ling of the Perineum; ſometimes of the whole Penis, at other Times you have only pain in making Water, without any other Symptoms, but without any Run⯑ning, and theſe are either the Forerun⯑ners of a very vehehement and virulent Gonorrhaea, or the Conſequence of a Bad One, ſuddenly ſuppreſs'd by a Pretended Cure

A Third Sort of GONORRHAEA.

THis is frequently met with in MEN, and is call'd SPURIOUS, and in which a thickiſh purulent Matter flows, not [29]from the Urethra or Urinary-paſſage, but from the Crown of the Glans, or ex⯑treme Part of the Penis or Yard, which is painful and inflam'd, but is not diſ⯑charg'd in ſo great a Quantity, as in the Common Gonorrhaea, but yet plentiful enough.

WOMEN. Women are alſo obnoxious to this Species of Gonorrhaea, in which the Venereal Humour is diſcharg'd, not from the Vagina or Urinary-paſſage, as in the Common Caſes, but only from the External Part of the Pudendum, or upper part of the Privities, with a Pain and Heat in the Parts.

Of the CONFIRM'D POX.

HAving given a Deſcription of the Go⯑norrhaea, I come now to treat of the worſt diſorder of the Venereal Diſeaſe, call'd a Pox, in which not one or two parts of the Body are diſorder'd, but almoſt every part of it is infected, and compre⯑hends ſuch a Number of different Symp⯑toms, that it rather appears to be a World of Diſtempers than one, and therefore I ſhall attempt no farther than to diſcribe [32]the Nature, Form, and Diſpoſition of this Diſeaſe.

1ſt. The diſeaſes of the parts of Ge⯑neration either increaſe, or break out again from neglect, ill, ſhort, (or rather pretended) Cures, of the Gonorrhaea, by ignorant and unskilful perſons; other⯑wiſe ariſing anew.

2d. If with the Confirm'd Pox, the patient hath a violent Gonorrhaea, the diſ⯑charge increaſes Calloſities, or Swellings ariſe in the Semenary Veſſels and Urethra, from whence proceed Impoſtumations, and Ulcers.

3d. They break out again where they have been cured, the Parts of Genera⯑tion afflicted with Chancres, Ulcers, Warts, near the Anus ariſe F [...]ci, or Excreſcencies about the Fundament; in the Groin Bu⯑boes, or Swellings in the Groin, Tumours or Swellings in the Teſticles, of different Kinds.

4th. They ariſe anew where they have not been before.

5th. The Colour of the Skin is alter'd, with pain and ſpots, eſpecially on the Breaſt, and between the Shoulders, of a roſe, purple, yellow or livid Colour; ſometimes ſpreading wide, Scabs, Ring⯑worms, [33]Tetters, and many Sorts of Dry, or Running Puſtles.

5th. Chops in the Hands and Soles of the Feet, itching, running with a thin Ichor, the Skin coming off in ſeveral pie⯑ces like Scales.

6th. It is troubled with hard Knobs, or puſtles, not riſing high, but ulcerated at the Top, for the moſt part dry, but ſometimes moiſt, are common on the Corners of the Lips, the Sides of the Noſe, about the Forehead, Eyes, and Temples, and behind the Ears; from whence they ſpread over the whole Head, and by degrees occupy other parts of the Body, but chiefly thoſe that are furniſh'd with Hair.

7th. The Nails become uneven, and being ulcerated drop off.

8th. The Internal Parts of the Mouth, Throat, and Noſe are diſorder'd; all Parts of the Mouth ſuffer Pain, Heat, and Inflammation, are eat into by Ulcers, and a Caries is communicated to the Bones of the Palate, by which they are in a ſhort Time diſtroy'd, which pene⯑trates as far as the Noſe, by which Means the ſpongious and triangular Bones there⯑of, [34]with the Vomer, by which it is ſup⯑ported, ſink in.

9th. From hence ariſes a Hoarſneſs, loſs of Speech, Gums eroded and ulcera⯑ted; from whence proceeds Pain, Loſs of Teeth, and Stinking Breath.

10th. Frequent and violent Pains, eſpe⯑cially when warm in Bed, in the Bones, Joints, and Tendons, which ſwell out in greater or ſmaller Degrees; ſometimes ſoft, ſometimes hard, and truly bony, with violent pain; at an other Time eaſy to be borne, which deſtroys the Subſtance of the Bone.

WOMEN. Women are troubled with Complaints that are proper to themſelves, as Cancers of the Breaſt, Suppreſſion, or imoderate Flux of the Menſtrua, Whites, Hyſteric Fits, Inflammations, Impoſtu⯑mations, Gangreen, Ulcers, Cancer of the Womb, Barrenneſs, or frequent Abortion; and Child born, half rotten.

From ſome of which Diſorders, Over⯑ſtraining, or Weakneſs of the Back, and ſuch like, a Running frequently appears, and is not ſo eaſily diſcover'd from that which proceeds from an impure Coition, or other Way of Venereal Contagion, which often miſleads and deceives the [35]truly Virtuous Fair, who have receiv'd ſuch Injuries from the ill Conduct of their Husbands, (and at the ſame Time are ignorant of it) who to conceal their Wicked Practices, never inform their Wives of the Reality of their Diſorders, by which Means they miſtaking their Diſeaſe, it daily increaſes on them (and I fear) too often ends in their Diſtruc⯑tion, which if timely diſcover'd might have been cur'd with very little Trouble.

For prevention of all ſuch ſad Conſe⯑quences, I adviſe all Females to duly con⯑ſider their own Caſe, and examine it by all the Symptoms herein before diſcrib'd of a Gonorrhaea, and alſo to obſerve, if they have any White Flux continue, du⯑ring the Time of their Menſtrual Diſ⯑charge, in ſuch Caſes they may depend upon having receiv'd the Venereal Infec⯑tion: But if the White Flux wholly ſtops during the Time of Menſtruation, and returns afterwards, it then proceeds from ſome other Diſorder, and not from a Gonorrhaea.

Be ſure not to uſe any Aſtringent Me⯑dicines before you are duly ſatisfy'd of your Ailment; for ſhould your Caſe be Venereal, inſtead of a White Flux, the [36] Gleeting Matter being ſtopt, you infal⯑libly bring on a Pox.

But don't imagin that all theſe Symp⯑toms ever occur at one Time, or in the ſame Perſon, neither do the worſt of them rarely happen to any, yet I thought proper to collect them all together the more clearly to ſhew the ſeveral Degrees of this Deplorable Diſeaſe, and that all People afflicted with this Extreme Part of the Venereal Diſorder, might at once view and underſtand their own Caſe.

Concerning GLEETS.

THey often proceed from former ill (or rather imperfect) Cures, ſome⯑times from a Seminal Weakneſs, and Im⯑becilities of the Genitals, &c.

Theſe Diſorders are generally the Di⯑ſtroyer of Virility in Men, and Fertility in Women, and in Length of Time cauſe a whole Decay of Nature, which are infal⯑libly cur'd by the Balſamick Reſtrictive ELIXIR, which is neither unpleaſant to the Taſte, nor occaſions the leaſt Diſorder to the Patient. Price, 6 s. the Bottle.

This ELIXIR is of ſo ſtrengthning and ſanative a Quality, that it not only ſtrengthens and comforts the Spermatick Veſſels, but revives the Spirits, warms and reſtores the Genital Parts in both Sexes, not only prompting a Deſire of Coition, but alſo furniſhing Materials for the Performance of the Act.

WOMEN. Females may hereby moſt aſſuredly cure themſelves of that trou⯑bleſome Diſorder the Whites, and all other Weakneſſes of the Womb, Back, and Urinary Veſſels; only obſerving, not [42]to take it when their Monthly Viſits happen, or a Day or two before they are expected.

We have nothing more to add to this Diſcourſe, but that the Patient relying on the Operation of the Medicines re⯑commended in this Book, and the Ac⯑count and Character herein before given of them reſpectively, and will punctually obſerve the Directions given in the taking of them, and have a due Regard to his Regimen, will be abſolutely cur'd of ei⯑ther Gonorrhaea, Confirm'd Pox, or Stub⯑born Gleet, and all other Imbecilities in the Genitals, with the greateſt Privacy, as li [...]tle Trouble, Charge, or Hindrance of Buſineſs, and perhaps much better, cheaper, and ſooner, than by any other Medicines now in Uſe, and prevent the ſad, and dangerous Conſequences of an ill or pretended Cure.

And by Reaſon neither theſe, nor any other Medicines whatſoever, will always have the ſame Operation, and Effect up⯑on [...]ll People, but will vary according to the different Temperament of the ſeveral Bodies they have to work upon, There⯑fore that all Perſons who ſhall purchaſe my ineſtimable Remedies, for all or any [43]of the herein before treated of Diſorders, may ſurely meet with the Deſir'd Effect, of a ſpeedy, certain, and ſafe Cure, I deſire they will from Time to Time, communicate to me by a Line, the Man⯑ner their Phyſick operates, and the Pro⯑greſs of the Diſeaſe, deſcribing the Man⯑ner and Colour of the Gleet, and all other Symptoms attending the Diſorder, and they ſhall receive all proper and ſuitable Inſtructions and directions from me how to behave, and ſuch Alterations made in their Medicines [if any are wanting] as the Exigency of the Caſe ſhall re⯑quire: Or, if they chuſe rather to call upon me at my Houſe, they ſhall receive ſuch Inſtructions as are neceſſary for their Direction in the Method of Cure, and perhaps more ſatisfactory than can be done by Writing; and the rather ſince I may underſtand their Caſe the better on a Perſonal View, than they may happen to apprehend, or be able to diſcribe themſelves.

This laſt Favour I requeſt of all my Patients, for their private Good, That they may not be delay'd and hinder'd of a Cure, and then they will aſſuredly find that my Medicines will fully anſwer the [44]Ends for which they are propos'd, and what I have promis'd for them, which I think will be Evidence enough to de⯑note their Real Worth, and Excellency, as well as the honeſt and ſincere Mean⯑ing of the Author, as would be atteſted by ſome Hundreds that have been cur'd by them in my Two and Twenty Years Practice, were it proper, in ſuch Caſes, to ſend one Patient to another.

Thoſe who ſend Letters from the Country, are deſir'd to ſend them Poſt Paid, and they will be Anſwer'd.
