Ryan's incomparable Worm destroying
SUGAR PLUMBS,
Nereffay to be kept in all Families.
Q J exceedingly valued by all p oplc who hive had
3 of them in Great Britain and Ireland, for their
tranfeen ant excellency in the dtftroyixg worms of all
kinds, both in the bodies of men, women and chil rer,
by not on, breaking the knots of the Duodepu:e, or
guts next the stomach, but the y pass through the fm^ll
eft rafiges of the body, and purge away those ropy
and flinty humours which are the cause cf those perni
cious vermin, and the feurce of many other drfolders;
they are one of the heft purges in the world for gross
bodied children that are apt to breed worms, and have
large bellies ; their operation is mild, fafe and pleasant;
they wonderfully eleanfe the bowels of all ftiff and
clammy humours, which stop up the parts and prevent
the juice of food being conveyed to the liver and made
blood, which is often the case with children, and i s at
tended with a hard belly, stinking breath, frequent fe
vers, r ckets, and a decay of strength in the lower parts:
Likewise fettled head-achs and pains in the head, iwell
ings, old lores, Tabs, tetters or breakings out, will be
perfectly cured, and the blood and (kin reftcred to its
original purity and fmodthnefs; they purge by urine,
end bring away the gravel, and effectually cure all ob
ftiuaionsol the urine o r ulcers in the kidneys. They at
once Alike at the true cause cf tin Curvy and entire ly
drftroy it, and all feerbuuc humours and efta?, root
and branch, so as nev^r to return again ; and what
makes th m more commendable is, they are full as
agreeable tcbh taste «nd fight as loaf-fugar.
I have by theie plumbs cured a great many children
of whooping or chin coughs and agues, which diftemp
e;s are very common and trou deforce to families, and
the want cf thee plumbs are the ruin cf many chil
die<s conftituti ns
Th fe plumbs enrich and sweeten the whole mass of
blood, carry eff all gro f s, corrupt and putrid humours,
and er se a frefh and healthy complexion in such as are
affe& 0 bvany putrid matter.
The pumb is a great diuretick, cleansing the reins of
fl me; i expels vind, and is a fcveregn medicine in
th halri and griping of the guts. It allaysand carries
off four vapours which occafun many disorders in the
head. I opens all obftruaions in the stomach, lungs,
liver, reins and bladder; causes a good appetite and
helps digestion. It hath been found wonderfully fuccef
ful to such perfors is are going into chronic dertempeis,
as asthmas, phtbifics, or thortnec of breath, dropsies
and ylow jaundice. Now I hope all impartial persons
are fit sfied, that the medicine which works upon such
humours, will almost reach any distemper, if not too far
gone, since corruption and putrefaction are the forerun
ners or all deleaves; therefore ro better physic can be
taken for all ages, Exes and constitutions, from infan
cy to olla e. These plumbs are highly (erviceable to
the female lex, from the age cf fourteen to twenty
years, and from forty to fifty. Each box containing
one dozen of thrfe plumbs, with printed dictions.
