The Golden Purging SPIRIT of
sCURvr- ^R Ass.
As it was faithfully prepared only by the Author,
Mr. ROBERT BATEMAN.
THIS famous Golden Spirit radically cures the feur
yy, a disease which of late years is become
epidemical in these northern regions, that fearer any
person but has, more or less, a lin&nre of it.
Its symptoms are various, as loofc teeth, fore gums
and mouth, little spots in the flein, faintnels and ftiffnefs
of limbs, (harp pains in the legs, arms and other parts,
which are still attended with weariness and indisposition
to move; the Stomach is depraved, appetite loft, much
crudity, and indigested matter load the fpleeo. nd parts
adjacent, which caufeth stubborn obfirut here ;
which by the use of this excellent fpiit are rex. 4, and
perfectly cured. . , , r 1
It has a peculiar property in curing the dropsy, expel
ling all thofe^cid and four salt humours which so Aarply
assault and oppress the fenfihle parts, and draws from the
remoter parts such as stick faft to the muscles and nerves,
and takes away all dulnefs, ftiffnefs, and indisposition,
and other symptoms that proceed from thence. It carries
away by urine and stool that ferouswatry humour, which
is the occifion of this disease, ftrengthenirig the liver
and o her parts, thereby preventing its return afterwards.
It cures the gout, by extracting out of all parts of the
body those crude and vicious humours which nourish it,
and frees the joints of all other diseases to admiration.
It dibbles the stone and gravel in the reins, kidmes or
bladder, taking away the original cause, and fotceth
""inures the vreen sickness, restoring the maiden blulh,
makes the breath sweet, and the body lusty and vigorous.
It opens all.cbftrunions both of liver and spleen,
gallin" the hardness arid swelling thereof. It wonder
ful! recovers aloft appetite, and helps d^eftion.
It cure's g^g in the guts, expels wind, out of the
stomach, upwards and downwards. &
It is a grasp preventive of confumptiona, roots out
forfeits, and raifeth the patient in a small time.
It prevents the breeding of worms in children, and
kills them, if already bred. „
Iris of excellent use for tea-faring persons.
In womens distempers it is very beneficial, and to
those that are afflid^ with the phthifick, it gives great
relief. , , .
It disposes old ulcers to a speedy healing, even to
admiration.„ . . . A ,
It is very profitable in ^ues, its operation is by stool
-arid urine (and if the stomach be very full and foul, it
fomcrimes gives a vomit) gently shifting nature to carry
off all those noxious humours that annoy her^ It gives
no disturbance to the body, for griping, to, taring or in
fl/minz the bowels, yet operates so eftedually, that
it ka^ththe body refreshed, and the diseases vanquished ;
and to fay all in a Word,' as it takes nothing in the Body
which may conduce to its preservation, so it .eaves no
thing in the body which may afford matter to the grontp
of a disease, or endanger a relapse.

Afovereign Cure, may be found for the
Whooping-Cough,
By the UJe of Dr. R Y A N's
Incomparable Worm destroying
SUGAR PLUMBS,
And therefore highly neceibry to be kept in
lall Families.
SO exceeding?, valued b, all People who have bad
of them in Great-Britam and Ireland, Jor thter
tranfeendent Excellency in the defroying Worms of all
binds both in the Bodies of Men, Women, andCbildren,
by not only breaking the Knots in tfe Duoderam or Gut
next toe Stomach, but they pass through the fmalle/l
Pafaes of the Body, and purge anvay the ropy and
fry Humours which are the cause of those pernicious
Vermin, and the source 01 man, other Disorders; they
are one of the best Purges in the whole World for grojs
bodied Children that are dpt to breed Worms, and bane
large Bellies; their Operation is mild, fafe andplea
fant ; the, wonderfully cleanse the Bowels of all fiiff
and clammy Humours whichflop 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, finding Breath,
frequent Fevers, Rickets, and a Decay of firength in
the lower parts : Likevuifefettled Aches and Pains in
the Head, fuellings, old fores, scabs, Tetters, or
Breakings-Out, <uh be rferJeSl, 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. The, at once strike at the
true cause of the feurvy, and entirely defiro, it, at all
fcorbutick Humors and EffeHs, Root and ' Branch, so
as never to return again, and what makes them more
commendable is, the, are fall as agreeable to both tafe
and fight, as Loaf Sugar; and in their Operation as
innocent as new Milk.
I have by these Plumbs cured a great many Children
of the Whooping-Cough, and Agues, which Dis
tempers are ver, common and troublesome to Families,
and the Want of these Plumbs are the Ruin oj Many
Children's Constitutions.
The Plumb is a great Dieuretick, cleaning the Reins
of Slime; it expels Wind, and is a sovereign Medicine
in the Cbolick and griping of the Guts. It allays ami
carries off four Vapours which occasion many Disorders
in the Head. It opens allObftruaions in the Stomach,
Lungs, Liver, Reins and Bladder; causes a good Ap
petite and helps Digestion. It hath been found won
derfully fuccefsful to Juch Persons as are going into
Chronical Distempers, as Asthmas, Phtbificks, Sbort
nefs of Breath, DropJies and Yellow Jaundice. Now
I hope all impartial Persons arefatisfied, that the Me
dicine which wp'ks upon such Humours, will almof
teach any Diflemper, if not too far gone, face Corrup
tion and Putrefaction are the Fore-runners of all Dis
eases; therefore no better Pbyfick can be taken for all
Ages, Sexes and Constitutions, from Injanc, to an old
Age. Sold B, HUGH GAINE.

THERE is now at Crorfta^t a squadron of
fix men of war ready to tail for the Me
diterranean. ,
Vienna, June 12. An order hath been given
to the States of Lower Aulbi& to give an ex
ad description of the manner jn which the
oeafants are treated in that territory ; those of
Bohemia have been freed from the yoke of
former servitude.
Madrid, June it. Letters from Cadiz men
tion, that the Ruffian squadron of four (hips of
the fine and two frigates, which lately left
Leghorn under Admiral Borizow, put in there
on the 30th ult. This {quadfun is returning
to Cronftadt.
Madrid, June 12. The Count de Rechte^
ren, Envoy here from the States-General,,pag
just received the agreeable advice, by a cou'
rier extraordinary, in 64. hours from Cadiz,
of the happy arrival at that port, on the Bth
.current, of five lips belonging to th^ Dutch
East India Company. The above vessels, in
company with the Concord, on the q.th of
May, near the Isles Corvo and Flores, wee:
attacked by the Tartar English privateer,
Capt. Hamilton, from Glasgow, carrying 18
guns, 32 pounders, fix of 18, and four of fix,
with 135 mgn. Attheir firft meeting Captain
Hamilton lent Lis boat on board the Com
mander, requiring the surrender of one pf the
Clips ; and on his refufal the privateer fifed
several foot, particularly at the Concord.< The
Indiaihips replied vigorously, and treated the
privateer very roughly. But the Concord ha
ving received several shot under water funk,
though not without faying her crew. The
privateer availed herfelf of this opportunity to
iheer pff. The five ships then ftpered their
course for Cadiz. The Captains of them re
port, that three other Dutch frdt-ludiamen,
of v ich as yet we h^ve received no advice,
had failed from the Cape on the 20th of Feb,
Dantzick, June rz. Our commerce is in a
very declining state. The navigation to Hol
land is entirely^ suspended; that of England
goes on as usual, a number of oar fops laden
with timber continue to fail for the Royal
dock-yards of England.
The dry weather which we have had here
for a long time past promises nothing favour
able for the approaching harvest. L has rain
ed but once since Ealler; so that the lands are
quite dried up. In some places, every thing
that was foWn has perished, )fo that hay will be
very scarce.
Elfaeur, June 19. The Swedlfh squadron
of eight ships of the line and two frigates is ^r
rived in the Sound. It was thought that the
King would have gone with this squadron to
Copenhagen ; but it is now known that his
Majesty is returned to Stockholm.
Hague, June 24. The Duke of Brunswick
Wolffenbuttel had the day before yesterday a
conference with the President of their High
Mightinesses, to whom he delivered a Memo?
rial, desiring him to communicate it to the
Assembly of their High Mightineffe's. The
Dulce complains heavily in this Memorial,
66 of a very offenfive address presented on the
part of the City of Afflfterdam, to his Serene
Highness the Prince of Orange; not doubting
but that in an affair which so strongly affefts
his honour, which to him is dearer than life,
their High Mightinesses will take a refolurion
to clear him entirely of the acctfation of being
guilty of corruption, and the cause of the in
activity with which affairs arc conducted.
He requests such fatisfadion as it shall plcafe
their High Mightinesses to grant him." His
Most Serene Highness, the Hereditary Prince
Stadholder, having appeared in the Assembly,
declared, "That, in his opinion they could
not refufe to examine whether the injurious
reports formed against the said Duke were
with or without foundation; in the mean
time, it behoved their High Mightinesses to
examine whether any person in their service,
invested with so diflinguifhed a character, is
really guilty of what is imputed to him ; and
that no well thinking man can parieruly Sub
mit to be taxed with such an accusation, nor
to have such a blemish caff upon his honour,
which ought to be dearer to him than life it
felf" Upon which rhe said Memorial was ac
cepted by the Provinces, and deferred to <•
Commission to be examined, and the report
thereof to be made to their High Mightinesses.
