'w^^^gfe^ Printed and Sold by JOHN DUNLAP, in Market-street.
Dr. RYAN's incomparable Worm destroying
SUGAR PLUMB S,
Necessary to be kept in all families ;
SO exceedingly valued by all people who have had of
them in Great-Britain and Ireland, for their tran
scendent excellency in the destroying worms of all kinds,
both in the bodies of men, women and children, by not
only breaking the knots in the duodenum, or gut next
the stomach, but they pass through the smallest passages
of the body, and purge away those ropy and (limy hu
mours, which are the gaufe of those pernicious vermin,
and the fowree of many other difordefs ; they are one of
the best purges in the whole world for gross-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 from being conveyed to the liver and made
blood, which is often the case with children, and is at
tended with a hard belly, stinking breath, frequent fe
vers, rickets, and a decay of strength in the lower parts:
Likewise fettled aches and pains in the head, swellings,
old fores, scabs, tetters, or breakings-out, will be per
fe&ly cured, and the blood and (kin restored to its ®ri
ginai purity and smoothness ; they purge by urine, and
bring away the gravel, and effectually cure all obftruc
(ions of the urine, or ulcers in the kidneys. They at
once strike at the true cause of the scurvy, and entirely
destroy it, and all scorbutic humours and effects, root
and branch, so as never to return again ; and what makes
them more commendable is, they are full as agreeable
to both taste and fight as loaf sugar, and in their opera
tion as innocent a* , new milk.
1 have by these Plumbs cured a great many children
of whooping or chin coughs, and agues, whieh distem
pers are very common and troublesome to families, and
the want of these Plumbs are the ruin of many chil
drens constitutions.
These Plumbs enrich and sweeten the whole mass of
blood, carry off all gross, corrupt and putrid humours,
and create a fre(h and healthy complexion in fuck as
are affect'd by any putrid matter.
The Plumb is a great diuretic, cleansing the reins of
dime : It expels wind, and is a sovereign medicine in
the cholick and griping of the guts. It allays and carries
off four vapours, which occasion many disorders in the
head. It opens all obftru&ions in the stomach, lungs,
liver, reins and bladder, causes a good appetite, and
helps digestion. It hath been found wonderfully fuc
celsful to such persons as are going into chronical dis
tempers, as asthmas, phthificks, or shortness of breath,
dropsies and yellow jaundice. Now I hope all impartial
persons are fatisfied, that the medicine which works
upon such humours will almost reach any d (temper, if
not too far gone, since corruption and putrefaction are
the fore-runners of all diseases; therefore no better
physic can be taken for all ages, sexes and constitutions,
from infancy to an old age. These Plumbs are highly
fervjceable to the female sex, from the age of fourteen
to twenty years, and from forty to fifty. Each box con
tains one dozen of these Plumbs, with printed directions
given with each box.
