of blood, carry off all gross, coriupt and putrid hu
mours, and create a frefh and healthy complexion in
such as are affeded by any putrjd matter.
The plumb is a great diuretick, cleansing the reins
of slime ; it expels wind, and is a sovereign medicine
in the cholic and griping of the guts. It allays and
carries off four vapours, which occasion many disor
ders in the head. It opens all obstructions in the sto
mach, lungs, liver, reins and bladder; causes a good
appetite and helps digestion. It hath been found
wonderfully fuccefsful to such persons as are going
into chronic distempers, as asthmas, phthifics, or
fliortnefs of breath, dropsies and yellow jaundice.
Now I hope all impartial persons are fatisfied, that
the medicine which works upon such humours, will
almost reach any distemper, if not too far gone, since
corruption and putrefaction are the forerunners of all
diseases ; therefore no better physic can be taken for
all ages, fetes and conftitufions, from infancy to old
age. These plumbs are highly serviceable to the fe
male sex, from the age of fourteen to twenty years,
and from forty to fifty. Each box contains one do
zen of these plumbs, with printed directions.,
A.- Diognoftic Jigns of Worms.
PALENESS in the face, itching of the nose, hollow
ness of the eyes, grating of the teeth when alleep,
dinners, pains and heaviness in the head, a dry cough,
and itching in the fundament, white and thick urine,
unquiet sleep, often starting, loft appetite, swelled
belly, knawing and biting about the stomach, fright
ful dreams, extreme thirsts, the body decayed and
iean, fits, often vomiting, linking breath, &c.
Directions for taking them.
A child from ito 2 years may eat one plumb, from
2 to 4 one and a half, from 4 to 6 two, from 6 to 8
two and a half, from 8 to 12 three, from 12 to 15,
and all above that age, may eat four plumbs, one
hour or two before up-rising, not to drink during
that time, but afterwards drink warm tea, whey or
water gruel; in taking them, the patient must itay
two or three days betwixt each dole.
In agues, the fame quantity must be taken, two,
three or four hours before the fit comes on, and be re
peated three times. In whooping or chin coughs
give the quantity above-mentioned.
C O exceedingly valued by all people who have had
° of them in Great-Britain and Ireland, for their
tranfcendant 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 duo
denum, or guts next the stomach, but they pass thro'
the smallest passages of the body, and purge away
those ropy and slimy humours which are the cause or
those pernicious vermin, and the source of many
other disorders : They are one of the belt 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 cleanse
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 is attended with a hard
belly, stinking breath, frequent fevers, rickets, and a
decay of strength in the lower parts; likewise fettled
head-achs and pains in the head, swellings, old fores,
scabs, tetters or breakings out, will be perfectly cur
ed, and the blood and Ikin restored to its original pu
rity and smoothness ; they purge by urine, and bring
away the gravel, and effectually cure all obstructions
of the urine, or ulcers in the kidneys. They at once
strike at the true cause of the feurvy, and entirely de
stroy it, and all scorbutic humours and effects, root
and branch, so as never to return again ; and what
makes them more commendable is, they are full as
agreeable to both taste and fight as loaf sugar.
I have,by these plumbs cured a great many children
of whooping or chin coughs and agues, which distem
pers are very common and troublesome to families,
and the want of these plumbs are the ruin of many
childrens constitutions.

TO BE S O L D,
, And immediate possession given,
A Valuable PLANTATION, lituate at Matche
ponix, in the south ward of Amboy, and county
of Middlesex, adjoining Mr. Nicholas Van Wickle's ;
containing 228 acres, about 140 of which are cleared,
the remainder good wood land, abounding with
plenty of chefnut for fencing. There are on the pre
mises a dwelling-house one story and half high, with
three rooms below hairs and two above, though may
be divided into four, a kitchen adjoining, a well of
good water at .the door, and a never failing spring
about 60 yards off, very suitable for a spring-house,
a new barn now erecting, 42 feet long and 22 feet
wide, a young thriving orchard of excellent fruit,
about 10 or 12 acres of meadow, part whereof is very
good, and 30 more may be made at a small expence.
The upland being natural to grass, renders it exceed
ingly well adapted for grazing, but will also produce
good crops of wheat and other grain. The farm will
divide very conveniently into fix or seven fields, every
one of which may be supplied with never failing water.
The situation is peculiarly advantageous, being about
four miles from Spotfwood and the fame from Eng
lifhtown, where there is a constant market and the
highest prices given for all kinds of farmers produce.
There are several grist and law mills within a mile of
the place, and wood may readily be transported to
New-York market, it being not more than five miles
to navigable water to that city. It is also convenient
to sundry places of worship, and is surrounded by a
neighbourhood of the most reputable farmers. The
crop of green corn will be fold with the premises, if
agreeable to the purchaser. For terms apply to Mr.
Henry Dllatush, on the farm, or to the subscriber
in Mansfield and county of Burlington.
