Incomparable Worm-deftroving
$ UGAR PLUMB S,
Necessary to bt kept in all Families.
SO exceedingly valued by alb People who have bad
ofthem in Croat-Britain and Ireland, jor tbeir
tranfeendent 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 pajs through the fmalle/1
Pafages of the Body, ana purge away the ropy and
fomy Humours which are the cause of those pernicious
Kermin, and the Source of many other Disorders; they
are one of the bed Purges in the wbole'World for gross
bodied Children that are apt to breed Worms, and have
large Bellies; their Operation is mild, fafe and plea
sant ; they wonderfully cleanse the Bowels of all flgff
and clammy Humours which fop up the Parts end
prevent the 'Juice of Food being conveyed to the Liver
andmade Bipod, which is ojten the Case with Children,
and is attended with a bard Belly, finking Breath,
frequent Fevers, Rickets, and a Decay cf Strength in
the lower parts: Likewise fettled Aches and Pains i*
the Head, Swellings, old Sores, Scabs, Tetters, or
Breakings-Out, will be perfectly cur'd, andthe Blood
and Skin refored to its original Purity, and Smortb
nefs; they purge by Urine, and bring away tßPGra
vel, and effectually cure all Obfruaiok, of tier Urine,
or Ulcers in the Kidneys. They at oneefrike at the
true cause of tbe Scurvy, and entirely de^rofit/dt dH
fcorbutick Humors and Effects, Root and Brqmf, Jo
as never to return again, and what makes them more
commendable is, they are full as agreeable to both tafe
and fight,t s Lops Sugar ,and • in tbeir Operation as
innocent as neffMilk.
I have by tbefe Plumbs cured a great many Children
of Whooping or Chin-Coughs, and Agues, which Dij
tempers are ver, common and troublesome to Families,
and the Want of tbefe 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 afovereign Medicine,
in the Cholick and griping of the Guts. It allays and
carries off four fapours which occasion man, Dijarjers
in the Head., It opens,all Obfgu&ions in the Stomach,
Lungs, Liver, Reins and Bladder ; causes a good Ap
petite and helps Digestion. It bath been found won
derfully faccefsful to Jueb Persons as are going into
Chronical Difempers, as Afbmas, Pbtbifaks, Short
ness of Breath, Dropsies and Yellow Jaundice. Now
I hope all impartial Persons are fatisfed, that the Me
dicine which works upon facb Humours, will almost
teach any Diflemper, if not too far gone, face Corrup
tion and Putrejaflion are the Fore-runners of all Dis
eases; therefore no better Pbyfck can be taken for all
Ages, Sexes and Gonfitutions, from Infancy to an old
Age. Tbefe Plumbs are highly serviceable to the Fe
male Sex, from the Age of 14. to 20 Years, and from
