Dr. R YAN's
Incomparable Wotm-deftroying
SUGAR PLUMB S,
Necessary to be kept in all Families.
SO exceedingly valued by all People who have bad
of them in GreaP Britain and Ireland, for their
transcendent - Excellency in the defraying Worms of all
kinds both in the Bodies Of Men, Women, andCbildren,
by not only breaking the Knots in the. Duodenum or Gut
next the Stomach, but they pass through the fmallell
Passages of the Body, and purge away the. ropy and
/limy Humours which are the cause of those pernicious
Kerwin, and the Source of many other Disorders; they
are one of the bes Purges in the whole World for gross
bodied Children that are apt to breed Worms, and have
large Bellies; their Operation is mild, /ffe and plea
sant ; they 'wonderfully cleanse the Bowels of all firff
and clammy Humours which flop up the Parts and
prevent the Juice of Food being conveyed to the fiver
and made Blood, which is often the Case wi'h Children,
and is attended with a hard Belly, finking Breath,.
frequent Fevers, Rickets, and a Decay of Strength in
the lower parts: Likevdife fettled Aches and Fates in
the Head, Swellings, old Sores, Scabs, Tetters, on
Breakings-Out, will be perfectly cur'd, and the Blood
and Skin refored to its original Purity; and Smooth
ness ; they purge by Urine, and bring away the Gra
vel, and effectually cure all Obfruflions of the Urine,'
or Ulcers in the Kidneys:*' They at oncefrike at the
true cause of the Scurvy, arid entirely defiroy it, at all
fcorbutick Humors and Effects, Root and Branch, so
as never to return again, and what makes them more
commendable is, they arefull as agreeable to both tafe
and fight, as Loaf Sugar •,and in their Operation ae
innocent as new Milk.
I have by these Plumbs cured a great many Children
of Whooping or Chin-Coughs, and Agues, which Dis
tempers are very common andtroubleftme to Families,
and the Want of these Plumbs are the. Ruin of, Many
Children's Confitutions.
The Plumb is a great Dieuretick, cleaning the Reins
•I Slime ; it expels Wind, and is a sovereign Medicine
in the Cbolick and griping of the Guts. It allays and
carries off four Vapours which occafon many Disorders
in the Head. It opens all Obfi rations in the Stomach,
Lungs, Liver, Reins and Bladder; causes a good Ap
petite and helps Digestion, It hath been found won
derfully faefysful to Jucb Persons as are going into
Chronical Mflempers, as Afbmas, Phtbificks, Short
ness of Breath, Dropsies and Yellow Jaundice. Now
I hope all impartial Persons arefatisfed, that the Me
dicine which works upon such Humours, wflalmof
teach any Difemper, if not too far gone, face Corrup
tion and PutreJaHion are the Fore-runners of all Dis
eases; therefore no better Pbyfick can be taken for all
Ages, Sexes and Confituticns, from Infancy to an old
Age. These Plumbs are highly serviceable to the Fe
male Sex, from the Age of 14 to 20 Years, and from
40 to 50. Each Box containing one Dozen of theft
Plumbs, Price 8 Shillings, with Direflions. Sold by
