5. And they having travelled through the chiefest and most fa­mous Countries of Europe, have learned and experienced the safest and most approved ways of curing all Venereal and soul Diseases practised in each Countrey, and have brought over with them excellent and peculiar Remedies, not vnlgarly known, for that dangerous distemper, the symptoms of which follow.

If any have got the POK, or any of its symptomes, as virulent Gonorrhea, with Running of the Reins, and pain in making Water, Ulcers in the throat, mouth, nose, or Ʋrethra, Carnosity, Inflamations, Swellings, Soreness, Phymosis, Para­phymosis, Christaline, Hemorrboids, Swellings and Buboes in the Groin, Pains in the Head.

This Disease hath several and various accidents, and fellows, that attend it, but in substance there is but two kinds; One that setleth it self in the blood, and other humours of our bodies. The other that is in the very marrow of the bones. To know the distinction, it is not for every Practitioner, but for him that hath cured thousands and thousands, as he can shew the Testimonials of several great persons in several parts of the World.

How many hath he cured, that having had a Running too soon stopped, were turned to the POX, and could find no Re­medy? How many that had not taken two hours of rest in their beds from ten and more years, by reason of the violent pains in the head, arms, shoulders, shin-bones, hath he cured? and (were it not for privacy and civilities sake) could mention the names of hundreds in this Bill.

This is sufficient for such as love their health; and such as have been tampering with other Physicians, I shall certainly reduce to their former health, although they have been sweat­ed and lanched by other Doctors: I shall give you remedy by pleasant medicines, that you your self shall wonder at it; some perchance may say these are but words, but I shall confirm them by actions.

We could mention also many other effects and operations that we have done, but for brevity sake, and not to trouble the Reader too much, we have omitted them, being you may have our advice at all times for nothing, and be informed of many Cures more, not mentioned here; as can be attested by Eminent persons that we have cured, which were left by others. Neglect not your own health, since God hath been pleased to send a means, now being the best time of the year. And if any one cannot come, let him but send his true Water or Urine, and we shall give our judgment to the best of the skill where­with God hath endued us.
