Alfio, by the | fkill of Blood, and Art of Bleeding, I have removed ; j deal of Diforders, and Diitempers Now, for the gooe | of mankind in general, and fympathy 1 have toward | thofe who groan under pain, I here publilh the following! Receipts, (that every Reader may find the benefit, i my earned; with,) for by this Book people may Cure themfelves with very finall expence : As many People are not able to pay Dear Doilors, this will be theii;; Cheap Phylician : Eefldes, in fome places, a DoHor wel ikilled, is not eafy to be found ; for he may be at a grea diftance, when this Humble Doctor will lodge in thi meaneft Cottage

P. S. You need not think it ftrange that I approve of the laft or firft Cure for any malady, for I mention none but what may be depended upon : only, when I approve of one more then another, it is betaufe it ! has been cftener tried : 'owever, when one fails, another may be taken with fidety ; for, as Conftitu- tions and difpofitions varies, fo, what will cure one, may not cure adother: Now, as more than one is mentioned, there can bene excufe for ignorance in this matter, if neglected.

I am furprifed to fee fo many pre- en ea Bidders, or rather Man-f!aughterers; and

more luqjriled ftill to fee people trulbng themfelves into their hands, by their whinning pretenfions; for they do not know a Diforder among a hundred except it be per chance : and, although you tell them the trouble yourlelf, they do not know what Vein to open !

THE

SUPPLE M E N T.

Concerning Mineral WELLS.

^KRISTIAN Patients, having now given you a full detail of the many Difealcs that Men and

Women are fubjected unto, with ver/ applicable Cures: I now proceed to ihow you tl^e ufes anil virtues of the molt known Mineral W ells in Great Biitam and Ireland. And, although li>me fantaltic fools may be apt to fay, 1 am now living, v ith gilded wmgs, to Geographical Eiflory, I doubt rot but vou would have found fault tvitli me, had I neglected ludi valuable oblervations.

. I ll)all begin with the many and various kinds of \ veils in •' cot land. In Ipeaking thereupon, 1 mall mention 1 hirteen.

Ihe i.rlf thereof, is Grews-Well, near the Burgh of Dimkeld. bhis Wdll of Water proceeds from Lead, ,ron, silver and Gold ; and w as, in our fore- fathers days, frequented by people of all ranks, by the forger.es and lies of the l opilh Clergy, who applied it to more ires, and made it anfwer more feemed

- h,oly ends tll-en it really did. Although this Well be tne belt in ScoiLnii, and deferves a place frfi, yet we muff not believe PopiJh fables, or elfe this Well

. would be of as much fervice as the Lord of glory1

• Ae bu.N of'Lighteoulhefs, vhich taketh away the ims of the v orld i I or, they pretend, that if a young Man or Woman, who comm itted the foul aft of fornication, &c. went to that Well, and were v afl.ed

there.

Mineral Wells.

therein, by the deluding Prieft, they were freed from the tin and guilt of fuch and Inch a fin, or crime, let their various aggravations be never fo many !'.! But, as wood things may be often abufed, fo was this Mmeral Wiell : For, its real Virtues were hidden by Popifh tyrants, and forged ones implanted mftead thereof I ihall begin then to defcribe its Virtues, which are as follows. If a Child, male or female, be born w ith the Glackich, or Rickets, by bathing (aid Child thrice a-day, for 3 Days r and, if it be a perfon of riper years, he or ihe muft batli as above Ipoken, and drink a Scots Pint of faid Water at each plunging, then -a fpeedy cure will loon follow. 1 his I have experienced, and known by numbers, who went thither a'flitted with faid trouble. Rut to f,y, as fome fivs, that it cures ore Legs, Sore Arms, See. is what'I will nor. And fome mantatn, as there are feveral Stones refembling the diif. rent parts of the Hu man Body about the \Ve is mouth, that if tney drink off fuch and fuch a Stone, for Inch and Inch a 1 iforder, tbev will be inftnntly cured. 1 his 1 take to be fabulous ftories, handed down to poftenty by old Matrons, profeffors of Vv eirdilm. But lure 1 am, it Cures the Rickets, as above fpokem And I believe it is alfo verv ufeful to thofe v ho are troubled wi h a Megrim, Morphew, and Melancholy : By drink g and bathing as need require.

I now come to Pitcaithley Wells near Dumbarney Phce I hele W ells proceed fro o Mime and oulphur. They are death to Come, and life .0 others. I hole of a Hot Condi'tition, t advife them to keep free of them. For It is addiiig fre to lire , W* «*, .«<

’af’dinif H‘- But thole of a Cold Condimtion may yo to them with all manner of delil-eratc freedom, forthefe .Veils have proved Cures to many of that nature, who were troubled with Scabious Ulcers,

Scruffs, Headachs, Scurvies, ami inward Bealings. Alfo, very beneficial to thofe threatened with a Decline.

I now proceed to Moffat Wells, near the Baronny of Moffat. Thefe VVells proceed from Lead, Iron, Silver, and Cold: the very fame Metals that Crew’s Vv'ell proceeds from. Thefe Wells are now had in great efteem ; and people of all ranks pays a yearly homage thereunto, from every corner of Scotland : And, in Ihort, they are very much frequented by the Engli/h Nobility. They have not the fame Virtues that Crew’s Well has, and yet they have them all but bne; and that is, Crew’s Well Cures the Rickets, while Moffat-VVells does not. And Moffat-Wells (ns a Virtue that Crew’s Well has not; and that is, Moffat-Wells Cures a perfon troubled with the Empyema, wlikh is a Sore Diforder, as bad as the Rickets : So that, when rightly confidered, both Wells may be accounted equally equal. In fhort, if both \VeHs do not Cure a threatened Confumption, nothing elle-uieed be applied.

I now proceed to the Tide-Well near Renfrew ►vhich, although a confxderable way from the Sea* dabs and flows with the Sea ; and although Frefh Water, gives more flrength then the Sea itfelf by aathing.

I now come to the Rowting Well at Edinburgh, rhis Well Cures the Itch wonderfully. Alfo, there s a Well near faid place, called the Oily-Well, by eafon of a \ ellow Bitumen that appears upon ’the brface of the Water, this \VTater proceeds from Sulphur alone, and is very good for Curing Scabs, ■ores, and Headachs.

I

IVIllTClT ic, 93

I now go to the Inch-head Well at Perth. This 1 Well proceeds from Lead and Iron, Silver and Gold,) feemingly ecjual to Crew’s Well, and Moffat Wells. 1 but very different; for I never knew this Well Cure I any Diforder but one, and that is a tieadach, by bathing the Head each Morning therewith, before Sun-riling, for one whole Week. \ou may be apt to lay, Why has not the Inch-head W ell as mud' Virtue as Grew’s ell ? 1 anfwer, At Crew’s WcL the Mountains are higher, and Valleys lower: befides I believe the Silver is more plenty than at Inch-heac Well, or at Crawfoord-Muir, where Silver and Gok could be digged in abundance, if liberty were granted.

There is a VV ell at the d own of Ballinderron, tin fame with the Oily , v-ell at Edinburgh.

And, there is a v ell, called the W hite Crofs Welt near Collace, that proceeds from Lead alone, remark able for no Cures, the people being ignorant of it Virtues. But, knowing this \V ell myfelf, to be a exeat ufe, I think it deferves a place: For it’s Water are fo cooling and refrefhing, that if any W ind b upon the Stomach, it carries it off wonderfully. Behde it is good for perfons of a weak appetite, by drinkinj a little thereof by times.

I now go to Peterhead. There is a W ell there the fame with Pitcaithly.

A1 fo, another at Aberdeen, the fame ftill; 10 neec; no further defcription „ , , . , --

I now conclude the Wells in Scotland, with King horn, and Balbriggy Wells in Fife; both of them at alike: they proceed from Iron, and Coal, with ‘-trean of Slime-done, they are good for curing Sore Ulcers, Megrims, Plora, and Influenza. 1 he e \. el were generally adorned with Noble Guefts, who wei thither for their health, although now had in htt efteem.
