By George Jones of Hatton-Garden Holborn, A corner-house, three doors from the Sign of the New Hole in the Wall over against Baldwins-Gardens, near the George; (Student in the Art of Physick and chirurgery for the space of about thirty years) his book of Mighty cures; cures of all sorts, the peoples names, men, women, and children, of all ages, the places where they live: the like not known to be done in this age.

Now you shall hear of some of the great Cures I have done on Women, and the places where they live, here being already ninety Witnesses of Men.

• 1. Mrs. Terry, both her Husband and her self desired this great Cure should be set down in my Book, so that others might know where to come to me and find good in like manner.

  Her Disease was a stoppage fallen into her Kidnies, which caused an extraordina∣ry racking and torturing pain in her back, and great pain and weakness in her Hips and Limbs downward; this Distemper seized her immediately after my going into the Country, whereupon she consulted the best means she could for the Cure, but found none to be effectual; and at my return to London, being near three months, she sent her Water to me, by which and other Circumstances, I scund her to be in a very desperate condition, and that in all likelihood she could not live above a day or two; whereupon I administred something to her, and in once taking she found a great benefit by it, which gave me incouragement to proceed in the Cure, which it pleased God in a short time to make an effectual and perfect Cure. She liveth at the Bunch of Grapes near the Kings-Bench in Southwark, where she and her Family are able to attest the truth hereof.

• 2. The Wife of William Thomas of Cock-lane going out of Cornstreet into Nicolas∣street in Bristol, of a Cancer in her left Breast and Side, when they that had her in hand gave her off for a dead-Woman; the Distemper being so bad, with hardness of red, yellow, and black Colours, which was very sad to behold; and they every day put in a Tent between her Ribs quite into her Body, about the length of a mans finger; so I judge the end of the Tent must needs reach within an Inch of her Heart: She had also a continual Feaver attending on her; so that there could not be any thing expected but Death; I presently caused the Tent to be laid by, and I never applied Tent nor Instrument, but gave her present ease, and cured her in nine or ten weeks time with God's help.
• 3. Elizabeth Tonson, of Newington Butts, in Blackmans-street in Lamb-Alley, in Southwark, of a Cancer in her Breast, almost as big as a man's Head, and I con∣sumed it away without cutting, and without putting her to pain, or hindring busi∣ness; and she continueth well to this day, it being three or four years since I cured her.
• 4. The Wife of Robert Harison, of Coundon a Mile off Coventry, of the Consump∣tion, Feaver, Yellow and Black Jaundice, having these four Distempers all on her at once; and all that had her in hand gave her off for a dead Woman; and yet

• God was pleased to give a Blessing to the means I used, and restored her to her for∣mer Strength and Health again.
• 5. The Wife of Mr. Middleton, at the Golden Pattin over against the Kings-Bench in Southwark, of the Dropsie, with great weakness, who had lost the greatest part of her Blood, so that she had little left in her Veins but watry Humours which turned to a sad Dropsie, with great weakness; and this came with a miscar∣riage of two Children at one Birth; and I made her as well as ever she was in her Life.
• 6. The Wife of Mr. Edward Thomas, near the Sign of the Gun, in Woolledge, of great pain and weakness after Child-bearing, who had made use of other Doctors for about three months, and could not get any help.

• 9. The Wife of Mr. John Fisher next door to the White Horse, over against Claringden-House in Portugal-street, at the upper end of Pickadilly, of the Palsie all on one side; and other weakness, which came with miscarrying of her Child.
• 10. The Wife of Mr. John Hodgkins, in Shoomakers Row in Black Fryars, at the Sign of the Last, of a Feaver, with great pain on her Stomach, and was so bad that none thought she would have lived.
• 11. The Wife of Mr. Bullock of Feather-Alley, or Yard, in Grays-Inn Lane, of the Feaver, and Gripes in the Guts.
• 12. The Wife of Mr. Isaiah Palmer, the next door to the Old Shears in Great Woodstreet, of a Cancered Wen on her Hand, which was breeding above twelve Years, and could not get help, and I made here as well as ever she was in her Life.

The Wife of Mr. Richard Kirwood an Apothecary in Corn-street in Bristol, who got harm in her Lying in, and had the advice of many able Doctors, but none could cure her, insomuch that there was little expected but Death; however, with God's Blessing, I made her as well as ever she was in her life.
• 41. The Servant of Mr. Richard Corbit at the Globe in Long lane, who was quite blind of one Eye, of the Evil, and I cured her.

I helpt Mrs. Lime a Lodger at the Crooked Billet in St. Martins Lane in the Fields, of five Stones that came from her at once, the first or second time after she had taken my things: They are about the bigness of little Nuts, shaped like a Muscle, four of them, and the other is of another shape; any that please may see them.
• 45. I cured Mrs. Sarah Merryman, over against the Sign of the B••ll in Rotchester seven miles from Gravesend, of an Ague and Feaver,

  You may see, and prove the truth hereof, and you will find that there is not any but my self have done any such Cures, since God gave me the gift of Healing.

  Therefore, I would not have you believe all Men and Women that say they can do the same, for we live in a false Age and many People are given to lying: therefore prove the truth of their works, and mine, and you that cannot trust your own judgments, take the advice of some godly honest Man, and so proceed.

  One thing more take notice of, which is this; Because I do good to all that come, being curable, many of the People think that others can do the like, and so go to those which have no skill, and so are cheated of their Money, Lives and all.

Here followeth and account of what Children I have cured.

• 1. The Child of Mr. Edward Costerine at Wapping-wall a Sailmaker, of the Rickets, and Hectick Feaver.
• 2. The Son of Mr. Thomas Partridge at the lower end of East-Smithfield, near the Hermitage Bridge a Plummer, of the Feaver.
• 3. The Child of Mr. Harkalus Bridson near the Sign of the King David, a Dier, on the Bank-side in Southwark, of lameness all one side.
• 4. The Child of Mr. Henry Peacock, near Catherins Dock, of the new Malignant Feaver and Cough.
• 5. William Davis's Daughter of Warminster in Wiltshire, of the Evil in her Neck.
• 6. Elizabeth Butcher, of the same Town, of a Scald and Leprous Head, who was twelve or thirteen years of Age, and brought it into the World with her.
• 7. I cured her Sister of the same Distemper.
• 8. Mr. Brooks his Daughter of Fillingsly, three Miles off Coventry, of the Evil and Blindness.
• 9. Elizabeth Weltons Son of Hill-woton, six Miles off Coventry, of the Evil and Blindness.
• 10. Mr. Francis Plowmans Daughter of Wotton, two miles off Northampton, of the Palsie, and withered Hand and Arm.
• 11. Mr. Vickers Daughter of Little Oakly, ten miles off Northampton, of the Evil and Blindness.
• 12. John Smiths Daughter of Northampton, of Convulsion-Fits.
• 13. The Daughter of Mr. Standbridge in Catherine-wheel-yard, over against the Sheep-pens in Smithfield, of the Feaver, and Grips in the Guts.
• 14. Mr. Hayht's Son of Catherine-wheel-yard in Smithfield, of the Consuming Feaver, which is the worst of Consumptions.
• 15. The Child of Mr. Thomas Parsons, over against St. Giles Church at the Wool-Pack, of the Evil in his Hand, being eat through the Bones and Sinews; and to any honest Man's Judgment, was quite past Cure, his Hand being eaten almost to pieces; and now he is a brave Boy and five years old and upward, and his Hand well, and hath the use of it.
• 16. The Child of Mr. Grimes, between Vine-street and Mutton-lane, near Clarken-Well, a Clock-maker, of the Rickets and Consumption, when he was almost at Deaths door.
• 17. The Son of Mrs. Mary Clark, near the Lamb in Islington, of the Lethargy, with great pain in his Head, and Deafness.
• 18. Richard Kinds Child of Bachwell near Littleworth in Northamptonshire, of the Rickets and Feaver, being four years of Age, and never could have any strength to stand, and I made the Child to go about the Streets in a Fortnights time, with God's help.

• 19. I helpt Mrs. Mary Coopland in Beamont-yard, a little without Algate, of great lameness in her Hips.
• 20. The Child of Mr. John Sereitt, at the upper end of Sea-Alley in Kings-street Westminster, being pin'd away with a Consumption and Rickets to Skin and Bones, being above two years of Age, and could not bear any strength to stand, and peo∣ple thought it was impossible for that Child to be recovered; however, with God's blessing, he is as brave a Boy as any about London.

And whereas there are sick and diseased Children in the Womb, that die be∣fore they are born, or soon after, besides it doth indanger the Womans Life also; This is to let you know that I Cure Children before they are born and preserve the Womans Life and Health also.

And if Children have the same symptoms, as aforesaid, they may take from one year old one Pill, and so many years old, so many Pills as they are years old, till they come to twenty Pills: And so they which are three or fourscore years of Age may take twenty.

You are not to give Children any thing but Milk before they put forth their Foreteeth; but after the Foreteeth are come forth, let the Child by little and little be accustomed to chewing, and use flesh minced very small with Bread, which with a little chewing may be swallow'd easily; and abstain sucking the Brest for at least an hour after eating, lest the Milk being mixed in the Stomach with the other Meats, and too long kept there, be corrupted; for I have observed that Children are scarce ever troubled with Worms while they use Milk alone.

I can with God's help save the lives of thousands of Children that may dye breeding Teeth, and do it for small charge, if the Parents are but willing.

I cure all sorts of Blindness curable, without putting any thing into the Eyes.

I cure the Scald or Leprous Head without pain, or loss of a hair of the Head.

All sorts of Deafness curable

All sorts of Sores, though the Bones be rotten.

THe Scarvies breed a Gonorrhea, and so will hard drinking, smoaking Tobac∣co, and late sitting up at nights, and a Gonorrhea will breed a Consumption of the Reins and Kidneys, and this Consumption will breed a Catarrh, which is known by a sharp tickling in the Throat, which is a briny Rheum distilling down from the Brain, but comes from the whole mass of Blood, being corrupted, and made thin and sharp; and when it hath much Ulcerated the Lungs, the best things in the World will not cure; and that is known by much Coughing and Spit∣ting Ropy Flegm in the night time, the loss of natural rest, the appetite bad, and strength decaying, being heavy and melancholy, and little comfort in any

thing, and the flesh wasting away; the mass of Blood is all naught, the Bodies of most all raw on the inside, from the Throat to the neck of the Blader; and fur∣ther in some: so all the Art is to take away all the corruption out of the mass of Blood, and to make it pure and good and to heal all the inward parts, and then the work is done: I do it in the hardest times of Winter, or Summer, the Catarrh goeth speedily off, and all pains soon after that; then comes a good appetite, with all man∣ner of comfort as formerly, but you must not give off taking things, till you find some other symptoms gone as well as the former, which is foulness and greasiness of the Urine, and when it coms to be of a clear wholsome colour, you are well.

But beware lest you come too late; therefore to prevent this Mortal Distemper, so soon as you find a tickling in your Throat, make haste and come to me, and I, under God, will help you for small charge; but if you stay till the foresaid symp∣toms appear, you cannot without much difficulty be cured.

I help all sorts of Ruptures, and Burstenness in Men, Women and Children, and keep a Truss-maker on purpose to make Trusses fit for them, otherwise they can∣not be cured: I do not hinder them of doing any business, but give present ease, and they go more comfortably about their business: But do not believe them that say they can cure without a Truss, for they will but cheat you of your Money; I have not seen any Trusses so good as those which I have made; I do not get one peny by them.

I cure the Ague for five shillings, and every one that I miss doing the Cure, I will give them ten shillings.

I do more Cure for a Crown or an Angel, than you can have done at many places for forty shillings.
