    for feveral humours (as I then fuppofed ) but now I have laid them afide as ufelefs and frivilous. Thefe Scorbute Pills perform better with more fatisfa&ion to me, and pleafure to my Patients, in various and divers cafes, than thofe particular Medicines peculiarly wrought, and fitted for thofe purpofes; and not only in divers cafes, this Medicine is benefi¬ cial, but in contrary cafes I have experimented it, and found good effects. For example ; in opening Womens Obftru&ions, they are very advantagious; and I have given thefe Pills to Women that have had their Courfes three weeks together, and that in abundance; and this Medicine, hath taken away the acrimonious ferofity of the Blood; and then nature being no longer provoked, hath retired from that extravagant courfe, and prodigality, in exhaufting the vital ftream.

In Splenetick and Hepatick Difeafes, they are effe&ually abfter- five and aperitive, opening obttrudtions of the Spleen and Liver, Gall,Mefentery and Guts,removing their morbifick Caufes,which produce a cacheaick or ill habit of Body, Hypochondriack Melan¬ choly, and Jaundice. Thefe cleanfe and evacuate gently, where¬ by
