TO BR„ SOLD AS ABOVE,
Ryan's incomparable Worm destroying
SUGAR PLUMBS,
Necessary to be kept in all Families.
SO exceedingly valued by all people who have bad
of them in Great-Britain and Ireland, for their
tranfeendant excellency in the destroying worms of all
kinds, both in the bodies of men, women and children,
by not only breaking the knots of the Duodenure, or
guts next the ftomacb, but they pass through the fmell
eft passages of the body, and purge away those ropy
and slimy humours which are the cause of those perni
cious vermin, and the source of many other disorders :
they are one of the bast purges in the world for grots
bodied children that are apt to'breed worms, and have
large bellies ; their operation is mild, fafe and pleasant;
they wonderfully cleanse the bowels of all ftiff and
clammy humours, which stop up the parts and prevent
the juice of food being conveyed to the liver and made
blood, which is often the case with children, and is at
tended with a hard belly, slinking breath, frequent fe
vers, rickets, and a decay of strength in the lower parts:
Likewise fettled headachs and pains in the head, fuell
ings, old fores, scabs, tetters or breakings out, will be
perfe&ly cured, and the blood and skin reftbred to its
original purity and smoothness; they purge by urine,
and bring away the gravel, and effeflually cure all ob
ftru&ions of the urine or ulcers in the kidneys. They at
once strike at the true cause of the (curvy and entirely
destroy it, and all scorbutic humours and effe&s, root
and branch, so as never to return again ; and what
makes th^m more commendable is, they are full as
agreeable to bath taste and fight as loaf-fugar#
I have by these plumbs cured a great many children
of whooping or chin coughs and agues, which diflemp
ers are very common and troublesome to families, and
the want of these plumbs are the ruin of mapy chil
drens conftituticns^
These plumbs enrich and sweeten the whole male of
blood, varry off all gross, corrupt and putrid humours,
and create a frefli and healthy complexion in such as are
affected by any putrid matter.
The plumb is a great diuretick, cleaning the reins of
Aime; it expels wind, and is a Sovereign medicine in
the cholic and griping of the juts. It allays and carries
off four vapours which occasion many disorders in the
head. It opens all obftruaions in the ftomacb, lungs,
liver, reins and bladder; causes a good appetite and
helps digestion. It hath been found wonderfully fuccef
ful to such persons as are going intochronic deftemper#,
as asthmas, phthifics, or shortness of breath, dropsies
and yellow jaundice. Now I hope all impartial persons
are fatis tied, that the medicine which works upon such
humours, will aimoft reach any distemper, if net too far
gone, since corruption and putrefaction are the forerun
ners of all defeafes; therefore no better ph,fie can be
taken for all ages, sexes and confutations, from infan
cy to oil age. These plumbs are highly serviceable to
the female lex, from the age of fourteen to twenty
years, and from forty to fitly. Each box containing
one dozen of these plumbs, with printed dictions.

months, and took Shipping, as it is supposed, at Deal,

to be a clergyman, who had accompanied him through
part of his voyages. As there is room to believe he is
in some part of America, Should intelligence be gained
of the place he now resides, or of his death, a certifi
cate thereof, and where buried, from the clergyman of
the perish, will be highly necessary; and as this is a
matter of great concern to his friends, if say person
could be prevailed upon to make such enquiries :# would
lead to a difeovery whether living or dead, or of the

faction it would afford his friends. Apply to the Prin
