PROCLAMATI O N.
By His Excellency
PA LENESS in the face, itching of the nose, hol
lownels of the eyes, grating of the teeth when asleep,
anlnef„ pains and heaviness in the head, a dry cough,
an itching in the fundament, white and thick urine,
unquiet deep, ' often starting, loft appetite, swelled bei y,
gnawing and biting about the stomach, frightful dreams,
extreme thirsts, the body decayed and lean, fits, often
vomiting, stinking breath, &c.
t§t Likewise may be had, Keyfer's famous pills,
Hungarian oil, or the cripple-curing oil, Haarlem oil.
Daffy's elixir, Godfrey's cordial, Bateman's drops,
asthmatic elixir, and most kinds of capital medicines,
&c. &c.
These Plumbs enrich and fveeten the whole mass of
blood, carry off all gross, corrupt and putrid humours,
and create a ir.fh and healthy completion in such as
are ass &rd by any putrid matter.
The Plumb is a great diuretic, cleansing the reins of
( Ime : It expels wind, and is a sovereign medicine in
'' e cholick and griping of ihe guts. It allays and carries
ch four vapours, which occasion many disorders in the
head. It opens all o^rudions in the stomach, lungs,
liver, reins and bladder, causes a good appetite, and
helps digestion. It hath been found wonderfully fuc
ceisful to such perlons as are going into chronical dis
tempers, as asthmas. phthificks, or shortness of breath,
dropsies and yellow jaundice. Now I hope all impartial'
perlons are latisfid, that the medicine which works
upon such humours will almost reach any d ftemper, if
not too far gone, rince corruption and putrefaction are
the fore-runners of all di'eafes; therefore no better
physic can be taken for all ages, sexes and constitutions,
' r °m infancy to an old age. These Plumbs are highly
serviceable to the female sex, from the age of fourteen
to twenty ) e rs, and from forty to fifty. Each box con
tains one doz*n of these Plumbs, with printed directions
given with each box.

of t : e body, and pu ge away those ropy and fl mv hu

and the foare^ of many other disorders ; They are one of
the best purges in the whole world for grofs-bodieJ
children that are apt to breed worms, and have large

wonderfully cleanse the bowels of all ftiff and clammy
humours which flop up :he parts, and pi^vurt the juice

destroy it, arid all feo butic humours and effefts, root;

them more commendable is, they are full as agreeable
to both tide and fight as loaf sugar, and in their opera
