SUGAR PLUMB S.
Necessary to be kept in all Families.
SO exceedingly valued by an p c pie wht h.tc had of them ^
Great-Britain and Ireland, for their tranfcindant excellency
to the destroying worms of all kinds both in the bod es of
men, women and children, by not only breaking the knots of the
Du denum, or gutt next the Stomach, but they pals through rhe
Imalleft passages of the body, and purge aw ay thole ropy and fliroy
humours which are the caule of thole pernicious vermtn, and the
Source of many other dilordcs; they are one of the best purges
in the w hoje world for grols bodied children that are apt to breed
worms, and have large bellies; their operation is mild, fate and
Sealant ; they wonderfully cleanie the bowels of all ftiff and
my humours, which flop up the parts, and prevent the juice
of food being conveyed to the liver and made blood, which is often
the case w ith children, and is attended with a hard belly, finking
breath, frequent fevers, rickets, and a decay of strength in the
lower parts: Likewise fettled aches and pains in the head, iwek
lings, old fores, scabs, tetters, or breakings out, will be peffe&ly
cured, and the blood and skin restored to its original purity and
Imoothnefs; they purge by urine, and bring away the gravel, and
effectually cure all obHru&ions of the urine, or ulcers in the kid,
