To which are added, the following late additions to
the Materia Medi a. Doftor Bond's Indian Ulcer
Powder, O'Hara's Fiflula Pahe. Ague Pills and Worm
Fowd-r* - The U cer Powder has/flood the tell of twelve
yos practice on many scores of Patients,and has rarely
failtd in curing every fpec.es of Primary Cancers, and
th mod inveterate Venereal and obstinate Ulceis with a
few draftings; it ifiogwar and uniform in its action,
and may, from the annexed directions, be applied fafe
ly anl furcTsfully by perlons not much accustomed
to the practice of forgery. The Fiflula Pafle succeeds
often where the knife cannot, and in most other cases
(pares the terror of cutting and cures quicker. The,
hint of the Ague Fill originated with Mr. Donald
Monro, of London, whole Ague Powder is now popu
lar in Europe, and has ben imp oved in his Pill,
wia is more certain and mild than his Powder, and
rarely fails of flopping the fits without the least distress
"or sensible operation. They are very convenient to the
poor whomay have them gratis. The proprietor thinks
them particularly adapted to the obflinate intermit
tent, of the Southern Climate.
The Worm Powder is a mild and fafe medicine, and
is very ufeful to weak conflitutions, whether they are
©fueled with worms or not; in real worm cases the
firfl dose often brings worms away alive, the second,
part alive, part dead, and the third all dead, which
fhtws their peculiar power over those filthy animals.
