SUGAR P LU MR S,
Neoeffarr to be kept in all Families.
S 3 exceedingly valued by all people who have had of hem
in Great-Brirain arid Ireland, for their tranfeendent ex
cellency in the deßroying Worms of all kinds, both in the
bodies of men, women and children, by not only hreax-ng
the knots of the duodenum, or guts next the stomach, but
they pass through the fmallcG passages cf the body, and
purge away these ropy and slimy humours which ate the
cause of those pernicious vermin, and the fcutce cf many
other difoiderg; they are one of the heft pugts in the whole
world for gross bodied children that arc apt to breed worms,
and have large bellies; their operation is faild, fafe, and
pleasant, they wonderfully cleanse the br wels, of all iff
and clammy humours, v hich flop up the parts, and prevent
the juice cf food being conveyed to the liverard made bleed;
irhich is often the case wi h children, and is attended with
a hard belly, Ginking breath, frequent fevers, rickets, aid
a decay of strength id the lorfer parts: Like^to, fettled
bead-achs and pains in the head, fuellings, old lores, scabs
tetters, or breakings ctit, will be pettedUy cu-ed, and the
blood and fk ; n tailored to its original purity and fmoothnef ;
they purge by urine, and bring away the gravel, and effec
tually cure all obGitaions of rhe urine, or ulcers in the kid
neys. They at once Grike at the true cause of the scurvy and
entirely destroy it, and all scorbutic humours and ideas,
root and branch, so as never to return again; and what
makes them more commendable is, they are full as agreeable
to both tafle and fight as loaf fvgar.
I have by theft plumbs cued a great many children of
whooping or chin coughs, and ague; which diGempers ae
very common and t^oublefome to families, and the want of
these plumbs are the ruin of many childrens conGitutions.
These plumbs enrich and sweeten the whole mass of blood,
carry of all gross, corrupt, and putrid humour., and create
a frefli and healthy complexion in such as arc affeaed by any
putrid matter.<
The plumb is a great diuretic, cleaning the reins of fume;
it expels wind, and is a (cvercign medicine in the ch c and
griping of the gus. I allays and carries oil four vapou s
which occasion many disorders in the head. It op.ns ad ob-
Gruaiohs in the stomach, lungs, liver, reins, and bladder ;
causes a good appetite and helps digefbon It hath been
found wonderfully fuccefsful to such persons as are g< ing
into chronicle distempers, as aflhmas, ph hifics, or shortness
of breath, dropsies and yellow jaundice. Now I hope all
impartial persons are fatisfied, that the medicire which works
upon such humours, will almcft reach any ditlempet if not
too far gone, since corruption and putrefaaion arc the fore
runners of all diseases; therefore no better physic can be
taken for all ages, fetes and confutations, from infancy to
old age. These plumbs are highly serviceable to the femae
sex, from the age of fourteen to twenty years, and from 40
to go. Each box contains one dozen of these plumbs. Price
seven (hillings and fix pence with printed diteaions.—So : d
