Incomparable Worm destroying
SUGAR PLUMBS,
Necessary to be kept in all Families.
SO exceedingly foalued by all People who ba-ve bad
of them in Great-Britain and Ireland, for their
transcendent Excellency in the defraying Worms of all
kinds both m the Bodies of Men, Women, andCbildren,
by not only breaking the Knots in the Duodenum or Gut
next the Stomach, but they pass through the fmallefl
Passages of the Body, ana purge away the ropy and
filmy Humours which are the cause of tbo/e pernicious
Vermin, and the Source of many other Diforaers; they
are one of the befl Purges in the whole World for gross
bodied Children that are apt to breed Worms, and have
l^rge Bellies -,their Operation mild, faje andplea
lant, ; they wonderfully cleanje 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 o'ten the Cafewith Child? en,
and is attended with a bard Belly, slinking Brc«tl,
frequent Fevers, Rickets, and a Decay of Strength in
the lower parts: Likewise fettled Aches and Pains in
the Head, Swellings, old Sores, Scabs, Betters, or
' Breaking-Out, will be perfealy cur'd, and tpe Blood
and Skin reflored to i's original Purity, nd Smoctb
nefs • ,they purge by Urine, and bring away the G a
vel, and effectually cure all ObfiruNions of the Urine,
or Ulcers in the Kidneys. They at once strike at the
true cause of the Scurvy, and entirely destroy it, at all
fcorbutick Humors and Effeas, Root and Branch, so
as never to return again, and what makes them more
commendable is, they are full as agreeable to both taste
and fight,t s Loaf Sugar; and in their Operation as
innocent as new Milk.

BY authentick Letters from the em«
pirc we find that the Imperial court;
having demanded 4000 men from
the Prince Bishop of Wunlbutgh,
which he engaged to furnilh by a
certain convention, the Prince anfivered,
that although his country had not yet reco
vered the fufferings of the last war, he was,ne
verthelefs willing to furnifh the 4000 men in
question, if the necessity mentioned in the
convention existed; but that, as the prafent
circumstances did not agree with the content!
of the convention, he was obliged to refufe
the demanded fuccours. The fame letters
add, that the Prince Bishop's answer was com
niunicated to the Court of Berlin.
We have accounts frern Ratifbon, that the
Mmifter of the Elector of Cologn is charged
by his Court to do all in his power to bring
the affairs of Bavaria before the Didators of
