A MEDICINALWARE-HOUSE
Just OPENED, BY
Dr. ANTHONY YELDAL L,
Three doors from the Bank Meeting-house, in
Front-street, Philadelphia.
TH E many favours the public have been pl eased
to bestow upon me since my arrival on this
continent, fill me with the warmest sense of grati
tude, and for which I return my sincere acknow
ledgements. My endeavours as they have hitherto,
shall also in future be employed in the ufeful pur
poses of adminiftring cures for the many grievous
disorders attending the human frame; the furpri
zing success that, under God, has attended my pub
lic medicines for more than these three years past,
and the great demand that there is for them from
every quarter where they are known, urge me to
endeavour that the public may dill be supplied with
them, and finding it impossible to attend in person,
as I have done for this some time part, on account
of the multiplicity of applications, I intend fending
a medicine chert to each of the different towns that
I have attended in, both in this and the neighbour
ing provinces, where such as please may be supplied
with my public medicines, and others, particularly
adapted to the most common disorders incident to
families, with directions fully setting forth their use
and how the patients are to conduct themfdves with
regard to diet, exercise, air and medicines, I hope
my omitting here enlarging on my abilities will not
be construed to my disadvantage, as the great num
ber that, under God, I have happily restored to
health, and the difficult operations in chirurgery I
have performed with success since my arrival, speak
more powerfully than any thing that could be here
inserted. I propose to give my advice in all cases
of physic and chirurgery, at my house in Front
ftreet, where those that chufe to apply may depend
on the ftri&eft justice, and be further assured, never
to be encouraged in any dilorder but where there
is a probability of success ; if curable, the cure will
be made in as fafe and easy a manner as the rules of
nature and art will admit of ; if not curable, I shall
let the patient know it, so that he need not be put
to unnecessary trouble or expence, and will further
advise such simples as is most likely to paliate or
ease the complaint. I shall constantly keep up a
complete assortment of such drugs and medicines as
are required for family use, either in town or coun
try, which will be fold in the smallest quantities,
and on the most reasonable terms ; and I hope by
the goodness of the medicines, and the great care
that will be taken in the delivery, to merit custom,
which shall be always acknowledged by
The public's humble servant,
ANTHONY YELDAL L.
N. B. Among the Medicines, &c. are Sago,
Salop, Pearl Barley, Seeds, Rhubarb, Camphire,
Salts, Oil of Almonds, Castor Oil, Bark, Jalap,
Antimony, Sulphur, &c. &c. &c. also, most patent
medicines now in use—as Godfrey's Coruids, A 11-

JOHN MASO N,
UPHOLDER,
At the north-east corner of Market and Front
ftreets.
BEGS leave to inform his freinds and custom
ers, that he is recovered from a long and te
dious illness so as to carry on his upholdftry busi
ness in all its various branches, and hopes that all
ladies and gentlemen, whole noble and generous
minds prompt them to embrace every opportunity
of doing good actions, will please to employ him,
and they may depend on having their work done
to as much fatisfa&ion as if he were a Londoner,
or a Parisian.
Said Mason has for sale, a large assortment of
mattrafs or wool beds, the great utility and intrin
sic virtues of which ought to be duly attended to.
He likewise has for sale belt Strafburgh fnuff, lack
ing bottoms, and a large assortment of toys.
The most violent TOOTH-ACH,
Cured in a few minutes without drawing, by an
Essence which gives immediate ease therein.
BY applying this Essence outwardly it will re
move all kinds of swelling in the cheeks or
p^n in the ears, and is an absolute cure for the
head-ach if ever so violent : It likewise eases the
rheumatic pain in any part of the body: It is so
harmltfs that it may at any time be made use of
agreeable to the dire&ions. This valuable Es
sence is prepared and fold in bottles, at One
Dollar each, with particular dire&ions in print
for using it, and may be had (at Mrs. Devine's in
Penn-street, a few doors from John Hart's Vendue
ftore) of Mr. M'G IN NI S, Surgeon-Dentist,
who takes this method of acquainting the ladies and
gentlemen, and the inhabitants in general of this
part of British America, that he performs the dif
ferent operations on the teeth and gums, displaces
all the fuperfluous teeth and stumps with the great
est ease and fafety, and if the found teeth be ever
so black he will make them as white as ever they
were, without giving the least pain to the patient.
He makes and lets in artificial teeth, in so nice a
manner that they cannot be distinguished from na
tural; therefore those ladies and gentlemen who
have had the misfortune of losing their teeth, have
now an opportunity of having natural or artificial
ones put in, and in such a manner as to be of real
use, ornamental and serviceable for many years;
and he prepares his inimitable Tincture, which in
ten days cures the feurvy in the gums, be it ever so
inveterate or long standing, it likewise preserves
the teeth from rotting, keeping such as are decay
ed from being worse, and it faftens the teeth if
ever so loole ; it is so harmleA that it may be made
use of by persons of all ages, and at any time,
agreeable to the directions ; it effectually eradicates
that nauseous complaint called a stinking breath,
which generally proceeds from decayed teeth, scor
butic gums, or neglecting to keep them clean ; it
beautifies the teeth, be they ever so black,
cleansing them from those sandy tartarous particles
that adhere to them, which occasion rottenness, and
bring on frequent tooth-aches ; a few times using
will (hew the excellency of this dentifrice, more
than if a volume was wrote in its praise.—He like
wise prepares a powder which polities the teeth,
giving to them and preserving the most beautiful
enamel. What can be more ufeful or ornamen
tal (especially to the fair sex) than a set of regular
and beautifully polished teeth, embraced by found
and healthy gums?
As he makes but a short stay in this city, he re
commends to the public to make speedy application.
His tincture and powder are fold at the imali price
of 6j. with printed directions ; and if an, perlon
uses this tincture above three or four times, with
out perceiving a visible and fatisfa&ory profpea of
being loon cured, they shall have their money re
turned on application.
Ladies and gentlemen who labour under any of
these disorders, and are pleaded to favour him with
their commands, will be attended on the Ihorteit
notice.—The poor, tormented with the tooth-ach,
cured gratis.
N. B. Orders will be received by Mr. M'Ginnis,
at Mrs. Devine's in Penn-street, where he now
lodges, and will give due attendance from eight
o'clock in the morning to five in the afternoon.
His stay in this city will be only till the firft of
April next.
