Barrack-Yard in New-York, fevera! Plans have been
successively adopted ; but without their Abidance a (u
ficient Quantity to guard against the Severities of a i mg
Winter cannot be procures ; and 1 flatter m,fe!f, they
will the more cheerfully comply wuh the Requificion, as
the Burthen, if any, will be equally b>rne, and the In

Incomparable Worm-destroying
SUGAR PLUMBS,
Necessary to be kept in all Families.
SO exceedingly valued by all People who have bad
of them tn Croat-Britain and Ireland, jor their
transcendent Excellency in the defraying Worms of all
kinds both in the Bodies of Men, Women, and Children,
by not only breaking the Knots in the Duodenum or Gut
next the Stomach, but they jafs through the fm&lled
Pafages of the Body, and purge away the ropy and
(limy Humours which are the cause of thoje pernicious
Fermin, and the Source of many otb°r Disorders; they
are one of the be, Purges in the whole World for grrfs
bodied Children that are apt to breed Worms, and have
large Bellies; their Operation is mild, fafe and plea,
fant ; they wonderfully clean, the Bowels of all ftiff
and clammy Humours which,op 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 bard Selty, finking Breath,
frequent Fevers, Rickets, and a Deca, of Strength in
tb^ lower parts : Likewise fettled Aches and Pains in
the Head, Swellings, old Sores, Scabs, letters, or
Breakings-Out, VQ be perfectly cur'd, andthe Blood
and Skin re/iered to its original Parity, and Smooth
ness; they purge by Urine, and bring away the Gra
vel, and effectually cure all ob,ruEtions 0, the Urine,
or Ulcers in the Kidneys. They at once,rike at the
true cause of the Scurvy, and entirely defro, it, at all
feorbuttek Humors and EffeHs, Root and Branch,fo
as never to return again, andwhat makes them mote
commendable is, they are full as agreeable to both tafe
and fight, as Loaj Sugar, and in tbe:r Operation as
innocent as new Milk.
I have by theft Plumbs cured a great many Children
of the Whooping-Cough, and Agues, which Dis
tempers are very common and troublefomc to bandies,
and the want oj these Plumbs are the Ruin oj Many
Children's Constitutions.
The Plumb isagreat Dieuretick, cleaning the Reins
oj Slime; it expels Wind, and is a sovereign Medicine
in the Cholick and griping of the Guts. It allays and
carries off four Vapours which oceafon many Difordere
in the Head. It opens all Offructions in the Stomach,
Lungs, Liver, Reins and Bladder; causes a good Ap
petite and helps Digestion. It hath been found won
derfully fuccejsful to Juch Persons as are going into
Chronical Difempers, as Ajlhmas, Phtbificks, Sb^rt

I hope all impartial Persons arejatisfed, that the Me
