Necessary to be kept in all Families.
SO exceedingly valued by ail people who have had
of them in Great Britain and Ireland, for their
, tianfcrndant 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 Duodenure, or
guts next-the stomach, but they pass through the fmtll.
est passages of the body, and purge away those ropy
and flippy humours which are the cause of those perni
cious vermin, and the fcurce of many other disorders:
they are one of the belt purges in the world far gross
bodied children that are apt to breed worms, aid have
large bellies ; their operation is mild, fafe and plea(ant ;
they wonderfully clearfe the bowels of all (tiff and
clammy humours, which hop up the parts and prevent
the juice of food being conveyed to the liver and m>de
blood, which is often the case with children, and is at
tended with a hard belly, stinking breath, frequent fe
vers, rickets, and a decay of strength in the lower parts:
Likewise fettled head achs and pains in the head, iwell
ings, old fores, (cabs, tetters or breakings out, wil be
perfectly cured, and the blood and Ikin restored to its
original purity and smoothness; they purge by urine,
and bring away the gravel, and eft&udly cure all ob
ftru&ions of the urine or ulcers in the kidneys. They at
once strike at the true cause of th^ feurvy and entirely
destroy it, and all scorbutic humours and eft^b, root
and branch, so as never to return again ; and what
snakes them more commendable is, they arc full as
agreeable to b>th rafe and fight as loaf-fugar.
I have by these plumbs cured a great many children
of whooping or chin coughs and aguei, which diftemp
era are very common and troublesome to families, and
the want of these plumbs are the nun of mar, chil
diens confutations.
