THE
Diredtons for taking them.
A child from 1 to 2 years may eat one plumb, from
2to 4 one and a hal, from 4to 6 two, from 6to $
two ani a half, from 8?o 12 three, from nto 15, and
a owe the age, ma, eat 4 plumbs, one hour or two
t efore tip-riling, not to drink During that time, but af
ter^ar^s dunk warm te?, whey or water gruel; in tsk.
ng th::n, the patient mud day two or three days he
twixe each dose.
In agims the famequarttity must he taken, two, three,
or tourhours before the fit comes un, and he repeated
t ; .ree times. In whooping or chin coughs give th#
quantity abovementioned. °
Necessary to be kept in all Families.
CO exceedingly valued by ail people who have had ofi
' them in Great-Britain and I eland, for their tranfo
cendant 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 Duodenum, or gut#
next the stomach, but they pass through the fmaltefc
passages of the body, and purge away thole rop^ and!
dim, huraours which ave the cause of thafe permciou#
vermin, and the sou ce of many other dilordffl : The,
are one of the batt purges in the world for tyrofs bodied
children that are apt to breed worms, and have larg#
bellies; their operation is mild, fare and pleasant, the,
wonderfully ck<nfe the bowels of all ftiff and clammy
humours, which stop up the parts hnd prevent the juice
of food being conveyed to the liver and made blood#
which is often the c@le with children, and is attended
with a hard belly, ft&king breath, frequent fevers,
rickets, and a de- a, of strength in th, lower parts#
Likewise fettled head-achs and pains in the head, fwel
l'ng, ° ; d fores, fezbs, tetters or breakings out, will
be perfrftly cured, and the blood and (kin restored to
i^ original purity and smoothness ; they purge by urine#'
and bring away the gravel, and effectually cure all ob
ttru&ions 01 the urine cr ulcers in the kidneys. The,
at once strike at the true cause of the scurvy and entirel,
destroy ft, and alb fcorhutic humours nd effeas, root
and branch, so as never to return again ; and what
makes them more commendable is, they are full a# agreed
able to both taste and fight as loaf sugar.
I have by theft plumbs cured a great many children
of whooping or chin coughs and agues, whieh diftemp*
ers are very common and troublesome to families, and
the want of thete plumbs are the ruin of many child
rens constitutions.
Theft plumbs enrich and sweeten the whole mass of
blood, carry off all gross, corrupt and putrid humours,
and create a fr?fh and healthy complexion ift such as ar#
aflfe&ed by any putrid matter.
Th< plumb is a great diuretick, cleaning the reins of
slime ; it expels wind, and is a Sovereign medicine ins
the cholic end griping of the guts. It allays and car-'
res off four vapours which occasion many disorders in
the head- It opsns all obftru&ions in the stomach, lungs,
liver, reins and bladder; cables a good appetite and
helps digestion. It hafV been found wonderfully fog
cefiful to such perfon# as ve going into chronic dintern
ers, as asthmas, phtbifics, vr ihortnefs of breath, drop
fits and yellow jaundice. Now I hope all impartial
persons are fat sfied, that the rc<dicine which works up
on such humours, will almost r^ch any distemper, if
not too far gone, since corruption a^d putrefadKm are
the forerunners of all diseases ; therefore no better phy'
fie can be taken for all ages, sex s and Conftitutiors.
from infancy to old age. These plumbs aft highly ser
viceable £0 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, price Ten Gillium,
with printed dire&ors.
Diognoftic Signs of Worms#
Paleness in the face, itching of the nose, hollowness
of the eyes, grating of the (teeth when afl^p, dullness
pains and hfavinefs in the head, a dry cough and itch
ing in the fundament, white and thick urine, unquiet
fhep, often darting, loft appetite, fuelled belly, knaw
tug and biting about the stomach, frightful dreams, «x
---t ! hir fofbe body decayed and lean, fits, often
vomiting, dinging breath, &c.
