way of Complaint, tbit the Phyfia commonly
call'd Halit, peculiar ia the Cholic, and Dis
orders of that kind, has been fa epufud, ;q]
farther adds, that Application of tfis Kind has
been sae’e, by a Number of Gentlemen upon
Conotdlicat River and the Towns adjoiniog ; —
Oat of mcer Pity to the World, snd poor lan

Notice ; That they may be (applied with the
above celebrated PhyGc, by applying to Deft.
Horsford, who wss cmfol.y iuiiiufttd utder
the critical ißfpc&ion of the laid Hall.
Paracclfas was a great Friead ti Nostrums, who
at a certain Time (wore by his own Sots!, acd
all that was (acred, that by the he p of a Medi

as, by this fsoatiaal linker together of Idols I
la the Age we now live, we want no magi
cal Art to care Difsafcs. Thole pompous Ar
Mnai so much cried op by fame, appear very
contemptible to Men ofSenfe.
To case these Gentlemen upon Coacedticat
^v«r, and (heTowns adjoining (who have fa
c»ns@ly folicJted Dr. HaW to pabKA his fam’d
Csfaa’icon) of the Trouble and Expcnce of re
puking to Hall, Hull, or Hertford. far this ad
minbic Pbysc call'd Hull’s, they may make
use of the fallowing Recipe, which I foppofc to
be the fame with theirs, sod is well koewe to
a Number of able Phyficuns in this Colony, viz.
Take Hepar. Aloes, fix Oz. Myrrh, Cleves’,
Mace, Ciaaamoo, Bri<h Saffron, Turmeric, of
each one Oz. Scamouy aad Crude Amber, of
each two Dhrams, reduce all to a 6ac Powder,
and mix. ,< , .w*
It may be uljc&cd byf©»e that this is net tha
idsntical thing : bowrver, let any Gentleman
procure the SanSion of Hall, Hall orHorsfard,
Epon it, and it will an Twer all the good Effe£s
that an be expr<Scd from spy thing of this
Kind. However, to sty certain Knowledge,
the famous Phy lie call’d Holl's, has fail’d in a
Number of Indances ; oae ©f .which I will men
tion. Not long Cote two hen at Salilburf
were grievously esercifod with tbeßillious Cha j
tic—Application was Rude to Dr. Hull, who
exhibited his PhyGc, thoa pine get them in het
Water, orders a Number of Sheep to be kill’d,
and warm Applicttioa of the Skins be mide to
the bowels of the poor Patient, &c. &e. But
all to no Effe&. Bat being willing to prefsrve
the Honor and Digaity of his Phylic, (afierbe
had made out a Bill of seven cr eight Pounds,
against the poor Patients, ted defiroyed the
mo ft of their Sheep) offered this as the Rcsfan,
why hrs Medicis did not facced, viz. T«e
bad Medicins exhibited by the former Phyfi
ci ins they had employ’d, btfere Application
was made to him »• which fa inc^cfed the poor
Patients, that they were almost willing to fufftr
death rather than fewd far them again. But find -
i»g no Relief, and continuing five or fix Weeks
in Extremity, till Life and Strength wcrealmoft
exhaofted, were willing in venture go fams
ether Method —A Phyftcian was font for, who,
to my certain Knowledge, gave a Bolas of 15
or 20 Grains of Caliomel and Cionaber of An
timony, and the next Day parg’d it off with
Pa’vis.Cornochiaa : upon which they f©on re
covered. A Nomiter of laftaeces could menti

the above, and he will find it answers a much
better latcntion than tbo boasted Fhyfic fa ranch

The fabferiber tai found that complaints
have generally fahGUed among the bell tsach
ers of malkk, with regard to the ufefulaefs
considerable part of the bed collections of mufick
that have as,yet been tn?dc public. Ia almost
•very collection we find a very considerable
proportion, both es tones and anthems, which
have never been so lucky ts to obtain a general
approbation, aed,probably never will j so that
ia order to parcbafe thole that are generally
approved and probably will eoatteue so, we are
put to an equal expense for those that are en
tirely cfs left. Inorder to remedy the abeve
inconvenieccs, *tis proposed that this collcAioa

proved authors, and efpcciilly such as have ob
famed the approbation of th? b:Q oniUra*

about 150 pages, of the fame dimeefian
Bayley’s emendation of T.'r.f'or and Wiftisms.
