A MEDICINALWARE-HOUSE
Just OPENED, BY
Dr. ANTHONY YELDALL,
Three doors from the Bank Meeting-house, in
Front-street, Philadelphia.
TH E many favours the public have been pleaftd
to bestow upon me since my arrival on this
continent, fill me with the warmest sense of grati
tude, and for which 1 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 still be lupplied with
them, and finding it impossible to attend in person,
as I have done for this some time past, on account
of the multiplicity of applications, I intend fending
a medicine chest to each of the different towns that
I have attended in, both in thisand the neighbour
ing provinces, where such as please may be supplied
with my public medicines, and others, particularly
adapted to the mod common disorders incident to
families, with directions fully setting forth their use
and how the patients are to conduct themselves with
Regard to diet, exercise, air and medicines. I hope
my omitting here enlarging on my abilities will not
be cpnftrued 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 pe iformed 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-
Rreet, where those that chufe to apply may depend
on the ftridteft justice, and be further allured, never
to be encouraged in any disorder 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 (hall
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 he 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 Cordials, An
derson's Pills, Hooper's and Lockyer's Pills, Bate
man's Drops, fee. &c. Patent fyfedicines, which
are sent by me and sealed with my seal, will be
warranted genuine.
Philadelphia, April 4, 1774.
Doctor M'G INN I S,
Is so thronged with business, as to render it impos
sible for him to leave the city for a few weeks
longer, and he thinks proper to acquaint the
Public thereof, so that the town and country
may not be disappointed.
The most violent TOOTH-ACH,
Cured in a few minutes without drawing, by an
Effenee which gives immediate ease therein.
BY applying this Essence outwardly it will re
move all kinds of swelling in the cheeks or
pun 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
harmlwfs that it may at any time be made use of
agreeable to the directions. This valuable Es
sence is prepared and fold in bottles, at One
Dollar each, with particular directions 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 NIS, Surgeon-Dentist,
who takes this method of acquainting the ladies and
gentlemen, and the inhabitants in general of this
part of Britidi America, that he performs the dif
ferent operations on the teeth and gums, displaces
all the fuperfluous teeth and slumps 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 lead 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 bis inimitable Tincture, which in
ten days cures the scurvy in the gums, be it ever so
inveterate or long Handing, it likewise preserves
the teeth from rotting, keeping such as are decay
ed from being worse, and it fallens the teeth if
ever so loose ; it is so harmless that it may be made
use of by perlons of al! ages, and at any time,
agreeable to the directions ; it effectually eradicates
that nauseous complaint called a (linking 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 polishes the teeth,
giving to them and preferring 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 small price
of 6s. with printed directions ; and if any person
uses this tinCture above three or four times, with
out perceiving a visible and fatisfaCtory profpe& of
being soon cured, they (hall have their money re
turned on application.
Ladies and gentlemen who labour under any of
these disorders, and are pleated to favour him with
their commands, will be attended on the fhortett
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.

March 26, 1774.
WHEREAS a certain JOHN
GASPARD HARTHE, a German,
having goods belonging to the fubferiber to dispose
of, went from the city of Philadelphia the sixth day
of January last, in order to travel in and about the
county of Lancaster as a pedlar, for which he has
a permission from the Governor ; and by letters
dated the 4th and 7th of March at Carlifle, he in
formed his employer that he intended to proceed
to Fort-Pitt, but it since appears that instead of
that rout he went by the Head of Elk to Chaileftown
in Maryland, across Sufquehannah to Bush Town,
where he was the nth inst. and took the road to
Virginia, and as it is supposed intends for Carolina.
The said John Gaspard Harth is a short fat
man, about 5 feet 2 inches high, round visage, blue
eyes, red beard, ihort necked, bioad shouldered,
has little hair upon his head, which is ofa lightifli
colour and tied in a small queue ; had on a brown
coating furtout coat, buckskin breeches, a blue
plulh waistcoat, a pair of English made boots, but
Sometimes wears a pair of pumps with round dia
mond-cut silver buckles, a small beaver hat, and a
pair of gloves lined with rabbit (kin: He is a saddler
and painter by trade, though he fays he is a baker,
and it is probable he may change his name; he
takes much Rappee fnuff, speaks good German,
pretty good French, but very little English, and has
the appearance of an honest man. There is in com
pany with him a man named BOUR QJJ OIN T,
a Swiss, born at Neufchattel, a strong built person
of good appearance, apout 5 feet 10 or 11 inches
high, long visage, grey eyes, thin black hair cut
short, has a big mouth and a pretty large open nose,
wears a small sized common hat, a blue cloth coat
and waistcoat, a pair of trowfers, and an ordinary
blue riding coat ; speaks good French a little Ger
man, but no English, and is about 35 years of age:
They have with them a box bound with iron,
which is carried sometimes by one and sometimes
by the other, as they travel on foot.
As the conduct of the said John Gaspard
Harthe gives great reason to fufpe& that his in
tentions are to defraud his employer, it is hoped
that he will not be fuffered to eicape. Whoever
will take him up and secure him in any of his Ma
jetty's gaols, so that he may be brought to justice,
and will give information thereof to the fubferiber,
living at Mr. Peter Paris's, the corner of Second
and Race-streets, Philadelphia, shall receive a Re

And entered upon in a month, if required,
A LOT of GROUND situate in Frederick

130 feet on the front, 180 feet deep, and 115 feet
on the lower front : It is on lease for 99 years, re
newable for ever, and fubje& to a ground-rent of
only 40s. sterling per annum; about 16 years of the
lease are expired. On the front of the lot on Fre
derick-street is a large brick dwelling-boufe, where
in the fubferiber now lives, 50 feet front, 23 feet
deep, two dories high, having two parlours, a pas
sage and stair-case below, four good chambers,

to the said dwelling-house, a good brick kitchen

also a brick ware-house 32 feet by 25, two Rories
high, and a cellar. Nearly one half of the front of
the lot is yet unimproved, there being only an old
log building that served as a gaol, and which may
be removed at pleasure : There is an exceeding good
garden well inclofed. This lot would suit a distiller,
brewer, or sugar-baker, as there is room fufficient
for building, and a lane may be opened through
the lot from one street to another. What buildings
are on this lot, are faithfully executed ; some of
the brick walls are 18 inches thick, and none less
than 14 inches to the ridge pole. The purchaser
need lay down but little cafli, if any ; good security,
with interest, will fuffice, and one-fourth of the
