TO BE 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 had
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 stomach, but they pass through the fmr.ll
-passages of the body, and purge away those ropy
and filmy humours which are the cause of those perni
cious vermin, and the source of many other difordere•
they are one of the belt purges in the world for grof#
bodied children that are apt to breed worms, and have
large bribes ; their operation is mild, fafe and pieplant ;
they wonderfully eleanfe the bowels of all ftiff and
clammy humours, which flop up the parts and prevent
the juice of food being conveyed to the liver and made
blood, which is cited the case with children, and i$ at
tended with a hard belly, linking breath, frequent fe
verfy rickets, and a decay of strength in the lower parts:
Likewise fettled headache and pain# in the head, (well
ingsf old force, feats, tetters or breakings out, wi I be
perfect, cured, and the bleed and skin reftcred to its
original purity and smoothness; they purge by urine,
and bring away the gravel, and effectually cure all ob
fru&iohs of the urine or ulcers in the kidneys. They at
once strike at the true cause of the feurvy and entirely
deftly it, and all scorbutic humours and efL&s, root
and branch, fa as never to return again ; and what
makes them more commendable is, they are full as
agreeable to both taste and fight as loaf-fugar.
I have by thete plumbs cured a great many children
of whooping or chin coughs and agues, which dittemp
era are very common and troublesome to families, and
the want of these plumbs are the rum cf many chil
diens conftituticns :
ThHe plumbs enrich and sweeten the whole mass of
blood, carry off all gross, corrupt and putrid humours,
and ciwe a frefh and healthy complexion in such as are
affected by any putrid matter.
The plumb is a great diuretick, cleansing the reins of
|lmt; it expels wind, and is a Sovereign medicine in
the cholic and griping of the guts. It allays ; .nd carries
off four vapours which occasion many disorders in the
head. It opens all obftruaions in the ftomacb, lungs,
liver, rains and bladder; causes a good appetite and
helps digestion. It hath been found wonderfully fuccef.
ful to such persons as are going into chronic dettempers,
as aftbmas, phthifics, or fhortnels of breath, dropsies
and yellow jaundice. Now I hope all impartial persons
are Satisfied, that the medicine which works upon such
humou s, will almost reach any distemper, if not too far
gone, since corruption and putrefaction are the forerun
ners of all defeafes ; therefore no better phyfie can be
taken for all ages, sexes and constitutions, from infan
cy to oil age. These plumbs are highly serviceable to
the female lex, from the age cf fourteen to twenty
years, and from forty to fifty. Each box containing
one dozen cf these plumbs, with printed dirt&ions.

Paleness in the face, itching of the nose, hollowness
of the eyes, grating of the teeth when asleep, dullness,
