sumptions of the longest (landing, and all dif
oiders of the bread and lungs ; it gently opens
the breast, and immediately gives liberty of breath
ing; it molt effectually allays the tickling which

hooping cough in children; in (hort, the Doctor,
confident by the mod undoubted proofs of its fi^nal
virtues, which he brought to a perfection none'can
equal, humbly recommends it to the use of the
afflicted.

October 21st, 1773.
TO BE SOLD or LET,
At a very reasonable rate,
AL ARGE tra& of land, situate in Augusta
county, in the colony of Virginia, about eight
or nine miles from Staunton (the county town) on
which said traft is a fine never failing stream of
spring water, never difeommoded by frofts or frefli
es, having several fine falls within 30 or 4.0 feet of
each other, suitable for water works : Also another
very fine stream, suitable for such purposes, emptying
itfelf into Middle river, about fifty yards below
the lower Falls, and within half a mile of it is also
a large body ofiron ore, reckoned by the best jud
ges to be extraordinary good, with much timber on
the fame lahd. The whole appears to be an excel
lent situation, as well on account of the good iron
ore, the nearness and plenty of timber, the falls of
the water as other natural advantages for carrying
on the mod fuccefsful iron works compleatly, to the
greatest advantage, as a like plenty of timber and
iron ore on the neighbouring adjoining lands, to
be now had at the easiest rates, will be a never fail
ing supply to such works in time to come. Easy ac
cess may be had to a sea port, as it lies on the tra
ding roads back from Holfton and Green Briar ri
vers, and is not quite 115 miles down to the next sea
port in Virginia ; the extreme cheapness of all kinds
of provision in those parts, recompences well for
the said distance, and will render any gentleman's
undertaking of and ere&ing iron work, there very
easy and profitable to himfelf, as it also lies in the
direct way of the trade of iron, for the back parts,
wherein the new back settlements it is most wanted^
The terms will be made easy, and all possible encou
ragement and aflirtance given to the undertaker,
who on receiving the premises will admire the many
natural advantages of the situation, for fuccefsfully
carrying on iron works there, in the compleated
manner to the best advantage. Further informati
on may be had of the owner John Poage, Deputy
Surveyor of Augusta county aforefaid, living 0*
the premises.
JOHN POAGE.
FIVE POUNDS REWARD.
RAN AWAY the 21st day of the Tenth
month (called O&ober) 1773, from the sub--
scriber, living near Cantwell's Bridge, m Newcastle
county upon Delaware, an Irish servant man named
PATRICK GORE, about 11 years of age,

pale complexion grey eyes and black hair which he
sometimes ties ; bad on when he went away, a good
fur hat, grey coating coat trimed with a figured
pewter cap'd button with bone moulds and cat
gut eyes, a light coloured cloth jacket without
sleeves, an old white ihirt with new wriftbads not
stitched, a pair of velvet breeches lined with (ham
toy, and buttons on the knee-bands, old ribbed
worsted hose, darned about the heels, and a pair
of good neats leather (hoes, with brass buckles : As
he took with him near 6/. in money, it is likely he
may change his dockings, and some other part of
his eloathing. He spells badly, but writes a good
hand, and understands figures. It is likely he may
endeavour to get to Baltimore Town, Philadelphia,
or New-York, and try to get to be clerk, or flop
himfelf for Ireland, as he came from that country
about two years ago. Whoever takes tip said ser
vant and brings him home, or secures him in any
gaol, so that his master may have him again, (had
have the above reward, paid by
ISAAC STARR.
