H E duties of Military Officers, was written
& by Monsieur De Lamont, Town-Major of
Toulon, a poll of great trull, and which requires
much experience to recommend a man to it: This
experience he gained, by serving in the army for
twenty-three warm campaigns, and during that
time was personally engaged, in many of the most
considerable lieges and battles. Thus did he rife, to
that degree of knowledge in military affairs, which
is Sufficiently teftified by this small but valuable
work. All his infractions are so regular, and so
jl t, that they in a manner make a soldier of the
man that never saw a camp, and leads him that de
sires to follow that course of life, so fully into the
art of war, that a young officer has nothing to do
when he comes into the field, but only to put in
practice that theory which he has already conceiv
ed, concerning all the operations, belonging to the
several polls, in an active and couragious army.
The second and third parts of this work, were
composed by Gen. La Valiere and another French
officer of great valour and experience in the art of
war.

Dr. R YAN's incomparable WORM, dfroylng
SUGAR PLUMB S,
Necessary to be kept in all Families.
SO exceedingly valued by all people who have had of them in
Great-Britain and Ireland, for their tranfeendent excellency
in the dettroying Worms of all kinds, both in the bodies of
men, women and children, by not only breaking the knots of the
Duodenum, or guts next the Stomach, but they pAs through the
smalled passages of the b dy, and purge away those ropy and flinty
burnouts which are the cause of tnofe pernicious vermin, and the
source of many other disorders: they are one of the bell purge i in
the whole world for gross bodied children that are apt to breed
worms, and have large bellies; their operation is mild, fafe and
plealant, they wonderfully cleanse the bowels, of ail diff and
clammy 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 with children, and is attended with a hard belly,
(linking breath, frequent fevers, rickets, and a decay of strength
in the lower parts; Likewise fettled head achs and pains in the
head, Dwellings, old lores, scabs, tetters, or breakings out, will
be perfeQly cured, and the bio. d and skin, restored to its origin
al purity and smoothness; they purge by urine, and bring away
the gravel, and effectually cure all obstructions of the urine, or ul
cers in the kidneys. They at once Ptike at the true cause of the
feurvy and entirely destroy it, and all scorbutic humours and ef
fects, rcot and branch, so as never to return again; and what
makes them more commendable is, they are full as agreeable to
both taste and light as loat sugar.
I have by thele plumbs cured a great many children of whoop
ing or chin coughs, and agues, which distempers are very cm
mun and troublelome o families, and the want of thele plumbs
are the ruin ot many childrens constitutions.
These plumbs enrich and sweeten the whole mass of blood,car
ry off all gross, corrupt and putrid humours, and create a frefhand
healthy complexion in such as are affected by any putrid matter.
T he plunib is a great diuretick, cleaning the reins of Dime;
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 disorders in the head. It opens ail obstructions in
the flomach, lungs, liver, reins and bladder ; causes a good appe
tite and helps digellion. It hath been found wonderfully fuccefs
ful to such perlons as are going into chronicle difit mpers, as abh
mas, phrhifics, or sh ntnels of breath, dropsies and yellow jaun
dice N,w I hope all impartial perlons are farisfied, that the me
dicine which works upon such humours, will almost reach any
diilemper if not too far gone, firice corruption and putrelaftion
are the forerunners of all diseases; theiefoie no better physic can
be taken for all ages, sexes and conlhtuii ns, from intancy to old
age. Thele plumbs are highly Serviceable to the female sex,
from the age of fourteen to twenty yeais, and from 40 to 50.
Each box contains one dozen ot these plumbs, price Seven Shill
ings and fix pence with printed directions. Sold by Nicholas
Brobks, Philadelphia,
Diognoftic Signs of Worms.
PALENESS in the face, itching of the note, hollowness
of the eyes, grating of the teeth when asleep, dulnefs, pains,
and heaviness in the head, a dry cough, and itching in the
fundament, white and thick urine, unquiet Sleep, often darting,
loft appetite, fuelled belly, khawing and biting about the do
much frightful dreams, extreme thirds, the body decayed and
lean, fits, often vomiting, Slinking breath, &c.
Directions for taking them.
A child from 1 to 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 the 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 muff day two or three days betwixt
each dose.
In agues, the fame quantity mull be taken, two, three or four
hours before the fit comes on, and be repeated three times. In
whooping or chin-coughs give the quantity above mentioned.
