Da. RYA N's
Incomparable Worm-destroying
SUGAR PLUMBS,
Necessary to be kept in all Families.
SO exceedingly valued by all People nroho baue bad
of them in Great Britain and Ireland, for their
tranfeendent Excellency in the dejiroying 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 pass through the smallest
faffages of the Body, ana purge away the ropy and
/limy Humours: which are the cause oJ those pernicious
Vermin, andthe Source of many ptber Disorders; the,
are one of tbe best Purges in the whole World forgrojs
Bodied 'Children that are apt to breed Worms, and have
large Beflies; tbetr Oteation is mild, fafe and plea
sant ; they wonderfully cleanse the Bowels of all ftiff
lend clammy Humours which flop up the Parts and
prevent the Juice of Feed being conveyed to the Liver
and made Blood, which is often the Case with Children,
and is attended with a hard BRly, finking Breath,
frequent Fevers, Rickets, and a Deca, of Strength in
the lower parts: Likewise fettled Aches and Pains in
the Head, Swellings, old Sores, Scabs, Tetters, or
Breakings-Out, will be perfeai, cur'd, andthe Blood
and Shin rejiored io its original Purity, and Smooth
ness ; they ,urge by Urine, and bring away the Ga
vel, and esf equally cure all Obfrufttons of the Urine,
or Ulcers in the Kidneys. They at once jirike at the
true eaufe of the Scurvy, and entirely dfro, it, at all
fcorbutick Humors and Effeds, Root and Branch, so
as never to return again, and what makes them more
commendable is, the, are full as agreeable to both tafe
and fight, t s Loaf Sugar; and in their Operation as
innocent as new Milk.
I have by theft Plumbs cured a great man, Children
of Whooping or Chin-Cougbs, and Agues, which Dis
tempers are very common and troublesome to Families,
and the Want of rfhefe Plumbs are the Ruin oj Man,
Children's Conflitutions.
The Plumb is a great Dieurctick, cleaning the Reins
if Slime; it expels Wind, and 4 afovereign Medicine
in the Cbolick and griping of the Guts. It allays and
carries off four Vapours which occafon mary Disorders
in the Head. It opens all Obfruaions 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 Aftbmas, Phtbificks, Short
befs of Breath, Dropfes and Yellow Jaundice. Now
I hope all impartial Persons arefatisfied, that the Me
dicine which works upon such Humours, will almofl
teach any Diftraper, ij not too far gone, face Corrup
tion and Putrefaction are the Fore-runners of all Dif
safes; therefore no better Ph,fick can be taken for all
Ages, Sexes and Cogitations, from Infancy to an old
Age. Tbefe Plumbs are highly feroiceable to the Fe
male Sex, from the Age of 14. to 20 Years, and from
40 to 50. Each Box containing one Dozen of these
Plumbs, Price 8 Shillings, with Direaions. Sold by
Hugh Gaine, in New-York, and by no other Person in
America, unkfs by his Appointment.
