BATHES For
The benefit of such as would shorten 
their Journey to BATH. 
There are lately made, and shall be continued several sorts of 
bathes wet and dry, both mineral and Vegetable, equivolent
in their affects to those at Bath very necessary and usefull for 
most bodies as well the whole for prevention, as sick for com- 
fort; the vertues of bathes being so commonly known, I shall 
not need to particularis, but in generall they are good for all colds and 
moist bodies, and distempers proceeding from coldness and moisture, they 
often much the cures of many diseases and perfect some otherwise incura- 
ble with the help of very little Physick. 
If any shall magine, that we cannot have our bathes here so good and ef-
fect all those at Bath; to them, I shall thus answer: That if we truly un- 
derstand (as we pretend to do) what those bathes of Bath consist of, and 
finding them to be things commonly known, and easie to be had, we un- 
doubtedly may by art compose as good here.Nay more,we can add what we 
find defective, and diminish or take away what we find disagreable accor- 
ding to  the several constitutions of our Patients, which they at Bath can-
not do,but all constitutions and distempers, must be content with the 
same mixture of Minerals imbib'd in the same water, onley some a degree 
hotter then other. 
Mineral Baths for Venereal Diseases
There are also certain new invented Minerall Bathes, provided purpose- 
ly for eradication of Veneral Distempers, being the speediest most cer- 
tain, and easie way that hath hitherto been used In this Nation. They work 
a most perfect and absolute cure of the French Pox, whereby any that have 
been imperfectly cured,and have any symptoms of that disease remaining, as 
pains in their limbs, &c. may have it perfectly eradicated and confirmed 
found. Also such as have had any venemous,corrupt, or virulent Gonor- 
rhea, or Fluxes of the Reins,which,leave the body in unsound and dange- 
rous condition, may by these have all remaining venome and corroding 
humors dissolve and extracted.In a word, Mineral bathes are things most 
absolutely neccessary in all kind of veneral distemper, without which the 
body can very hardly be secured from future relapse, or warranted sound, 
as too many by costly experience can testifie.
If any shall desire a larger account,they may at my house next door to the 
the Pomegrantsia Barbican can receive further satisfaction, where these 
baths are to be had, with all accommodation necessary.
