Captain General and Governor in Chief, in and over
the Province of New Vok, and the Territories de
pending thereon in America, Chancellor and Vice-
Admiral of the fame, and Major-General of his
Majeftj's Forces.
A PROCLAMATION.
THE Necessity of a seasonable and ample Supply of
FUEL, for the Ute of his Majesty's Troops,
obliges me, however reluctant to call on the Inhabitants
of Long-Island, to furniffi a Proportion of Wood for the
Barrack-Yard in New-York, several Plans have been
successively adopted; but without their AffrGancea fuf
ficent Quantity to guard agaiaft the Severities of a long
Winter cannot be procured ; and I flatter myfelf, they
will the more cheerfully comply with the Requisition, as
the Burthen, if any, will be equally borne, and the In
jury that muff unavoidably beta! Individuals, from an
unforeseen Deficiency be prevented.
The County of King's is therefore required to get
1500 Cords; Queen's County 4500 ; and the Western
Part of Suffolk (including Huntington, Iflip, Smith-
Town, and Brookhave ) 3000 Cords, ready cut and
corded by the 15th of August ensuing.
And that the Distribution may be equally made and all
Waft avoided, the Civil and Military Officers of each
County will meet, on Saturday the 25th Inst. at Flat-
Buffi, Jamaica, and Smith-Town, and assess on each
Diftria, a proportionate Part of the Quantity demanded.
The Officers in the Diftrift will then direct the Farmers
each to cut his Part, regulating it by the Wood Land he
poffefil ; and on Notice being given, will mutter the
Teams of the Neighbourhood, and cart the W,od to such
Landing as shall be appointed, where the Wood ready
corded, is to be by them surveyed in the Pretence of the
Barrack Officer, who will give a Certificate on the Spot
for the Number of Cords, to the Proprietor at the Rate
of Thirty Shillings per Cord for Walnut, and Twenty for
Oak ; and also for the Cartage, at the Rate of Four
Shillings a Cord per Mile. The Teams so employed will
be fully protected, and the Certificates punctually paid.
The foregoing Regulations not being adapted ta the
Situation of the eastern Part of Suffolk ; the Inhabitants
of Southold, Southampton, and East Hampton, are re
quired to cut in the Wood Lands late belonging to Wil.
liana Smith, and William Floyd of said County (now
out in Rebellion) in the parts thereof nearest to the
Landing by Maftick Neck, 3000 Cords of Wood, to be
ready by thefirft of September. On due Information be
ing given, they will cart the fame, and attend in the
mean while to its Preservation, and when surveyed on
the Water-fide, they will receive at the Rate of Ten
Shillings per Cord, for cutting and carting as above men
^oned.
These Orders being calculated at once to provide for the
Army, and to give every Security to the Farmer against
others interfering with his Property ; he will be left
without Exeufe, if by a criminal N&gle& he does not
avail himfelf of the advantageous Offers held out to him,
and must expert to fuffer all the Evils consequent on hit
Disobedience.
Given under my Hand, and the Great Seal of the
Province of New-York, in the City of New-
York, the 16th Day of June, One Thousand
Seven Hundred and Eighty, in the 20th Year
of his Majesty's Reign.

Dr. R Y A N's
Incomparable Worm-destroying
SUGAR PLUMB S,
Necessary to be kept in all Families.
SO exceedingly valued by all People who have bad
of them in Great-Britain and Ireland, for their
transcendent Excellency in the defiroying Worms of all
hinds 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 frafs through the finalleft
Parages of the Body, and purge away the ropy and
(limy Humours which are the cause of thofe pernicious
Fermin, andthe Source of many other Di,orders; they
are one of the be, Purges in the whole World for gross
bodied Children that are apt to breed Worms, ard have
large Bellies; their Operation is mild, fafe,and plea
sant ; they wonderfully cleanse the Bowels of all fliff
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 bard Belly, finking Breath,
frequent Fevers, Rickets, and a Decay of Strength in
the lower parts: Likewise fettled Aches and Pains in
the Head, Swellings, old Sores, Scabs, Tetters, or
Breakings-Out, will be perfectly cur'd, andthe Blood
and Skin restored to its ordinal Purity, and Smootb
nefs; they purge by Urine, and bring away the Gra
vel, and effectually cure all ob,ructions of the Urine,
or Ulcers in the Kidneys. The) at once frike at the
true cause of the Scurvy, and entirely defiroy it, at all
fcorbutick Humors and Effeßs, Root and Branch,fo
as never to return again; and what makes them more
commendable is, they are full as agreeable to both tafle
and fight, as Loaf Sugar; and in their 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 ver, common and trouble,ome to Families,
andthe Want of these Plumbs are the Rum of Many
Children's Constitutions.
The Plumb is a great Dieuretick, cleaning the Reins
of Slime; it expels Wind, and is a sovereign Medicins
in the Cbolick and griping of the Guts. It allays and
carries off four Vapours which occaJionmany Difordere
in the Head. It opens all Ob,ruffions in the Stomach,
' Lungs, Liver, Reins and Bladder; causes a good Ap
petite and helps Digestion. It hath been found won
derfull, fuccefsJul to Jucb Persons as are going into
Chronical Distempers, as Asthmas, Phtbifcks, Short
ness of Breath, Dropfes and Yellow Jaundice. Now
I hope all impartial Persons are fatisfed, that the Me
dicine which works upon such Humours, will almo,
teach an, 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
