Directions low to take these Pills.
Which I earnestly intreat all persons concern'd to peruse well, as they tender their own Health; and, if by their own neglect any miscar∣riage happen, they will not blame the Author, and through Jesus, the grand Physician of the soul, none may have cause to complain.
First then,
'tis desir'd that none should covet large Doses or many Stooles, but rather take ten times too little, than once too much, for if this Pill should chance not to purge at all, yet 'tis even then acting in the body as a Balsom, fighting against some hidden Malady, and by the oftner taking of easy Doses, diseases are more certainly overcome, nature strengthned, long life and health secur'd.
☞ Note also, that thò this Pill should not work as you expect it should, this or that day; you must not blame the Physick, but impute it to the temper of your bodies; for, what will work with the same per∣son to day, may not work at all another day: the Pill is alwayes the same exactly Prepared, but our bodies alter.
