New-York, Nov. 28.
A letter received yesterday from Halifax, dated Nov. 17, says, "We have had great doings here with the Prince, who is since sailed for the West-Indies. We have every reason to think he will soon have occasion to show his abilities;—there is nothing talked of here but WAR. A packet arrived here last week; in her came orders for all the King's ships to be ready to sail at a day's notice."
A letter from Londonderry (received per the Sally, Capt. Moore) dated the 11th September, 1787, says, "This day's post from Dublin informs us, that the Prussians, after seven hours attack, were repulsed three several times at Amsterdam, and retired in the utmost disorder; but it is thought, notwithstanding, that they are at present masters of the city.—Press-gangs are very numerous and busy, and ships fitting out with all possible expedition. The French are at this time in possession of the Cape of Good Hope."
A correspondent, well acquainted with the school at Greenfield, under the care of the Reverend Doctor Dwight, gives us the following:—That the situation is unusually healthy, and beautifully prospective; the building very convenient, the neighbourhood agreeable and reputable, the students, collected in general from very reputable families, are well behaved moral students. Board is obtained on reasonable terms, and in the best families. Any branch of education in the English, with the Greek and Latin languages, may be obtained at the school; at the same time the French language according to the Parisian pronunciation, is taught by a gentleman of the most unexceptionable character, and on very reasonable terms. The situation also, being convenient for conveyance by post and by water, furnishes the friends of the students with constant and advantageous opportunities of communications. When all these circumstances are considered, it will probably appear, that few schools in America, are so happily situated.

C L E V E S, September 26.
Last week were conducted to Utrecht, bound hands and feet, two private persons, apprehended in the camp of Zeyt. It is said one of them is the Secretary of the Prince of Salm, and the other is M.V. de St. G. — called Antony. A report prevails here, although we cannot warrant the truth of it, that the Prince of Salm is taken himself.
B R U S S E L S, Sept. 25.
Lord Torrington, Minister Plenipotentiary of his Britannic Majesty at Brussels, having received from his Court dispatches, to be communicated to the Government of the Austrian Pays-bas, and being in haste to obey these orders, has addressed the following letter to his Excellency Count de Murray, Lieutenant-Governor and Captain-General, par interim .
"The actual situation of affairs in the United Provinces, where the troubles have long since fixed the general attention of Europe, having still become more critical by the recent and relative state of politics in these Provinces, and France having notified the resolution of aiding with her forces that party in Holland, who refuse to give satisfaction to the just complaints and demands which his Prussian Majesty has made for the insult done to the Princess of Orange, my Court has ordered me to have the honor of informing the Government General of the Austrian Pays-bas, that his Britannic Majesty cannot consider the alliance between France and the whole Republic, as a just and sufficient reason to engage her to support a party in an affair expressly disavowed by the majority of the States General. His said Britannic Majesty has declared and often repeated, that it was impossible for him to suffer with indifference the armed interposition of France in this affair; because, in tolerating this armed interposition, there could not but result consequences very dangerous, as well for the Constitutions and Independence of these Provinces, as hurtful in many respects to the interest and surety of the States of his Britannic Majesty."
"In consequence of which, his Britannic Majesty is necessitated to make the speediest preparations for equipping a considerable naval armament, and for augmenting his land forces, to the end that they may be in a state, and ready to act on any event."
"But that it will be his greatest pleasure to let his subjects and all Europe, enjoy the felicity and blessings of peace, unless that the interest of his States force him to adopt a contrary conduct; that in consequence of these gracious dispositions, and in order to avert the scourge of war, his Britannic Majesty has renewed to his Minister at Paris, a reiteration of these intentions, that in case the court of France are equally disposed, to
engage them to terminate amicably, and by equitable arrangements, the points of discussion which have impaired the state of affairs of the republic, and reduced it to the deplorable situation it is in this day."
"I have the honor to be, with the most distinguished consideration, your Excellency's very humble and very obedient servant, TORRINGTON."

Extract of a letter from Portsmouth, Oct. 1.
"There are now at Spithead 12 ships of the line under the command of Lord Hood, ready for sea, being fully manned, and in every respect equip for service; and 6 ships more of the line will be ready before the conclusion of the month, though many persons here still fear that the whole of our naval preparations will be over before Christmas, and that there will be no war. The victualling office will begin next week to cure salted provisions for the use of the men of war, and the brewery will also begin to work as in war time. A prodigious quantity of timber will be cut down in the new forest next month for use of the navy; our stock even now is far from being small!"
Extract of a letter from the Hague, Sept. 28.
"Tuesday last, we had the good fortune to see in this place, all the Serene Family of the illustrious House of Orange; on which occasion there was an illumination in general, as circumstances would permit."
"The house of the Chevalier Harris, Envoy from England, was superbly illuminated with great brilliancy; also the houses of the true patriotic societies. All the evening and night passed in the greatest joy, and without the least disorder."
Dispatches were sent off on Friday night from the Admiralty-office to Portsmouth. They are intended for Commodore Gardiner at Jamaica, and Commodore Parker at Antigua. Captain Thornborough of the Hebe frigate carries over the first, and Capt. Burdon of the Alert the latter.
Yesterday about twelve o'clock, a messenger arrived at the Marquis of Carmarthen's office at Whitehall, express from Sir James Harris at the Hague.
The contents of the dispatches we understand, are nearly as follows: the Duke of Brunswick with a large army, and a numerous train of artillery well served, and the troops in high spirits, arrived at the very gates of Amsterdam on Thursday last, and immediately sent an herald summoning the city to surrender. From a delay of some hours, it was expected they meant to stand a siege; but at length they were agreeably surprised with an herald announcing a deputation, who arrived in the Duke's camp the same evening, for the purpose of fixing on the terms of giving up the city and its dependencies. The terms were not mentioned, but they were expected to be settled by Friday night, or Saturday at farthest, and the Duke put in possession. The Duke's answer to the truce-bearer, was that a short time only would be allowed for surrender.
The Duke immediately sent a courier to the Hague; the circumstance was announced to all the foreign ambassadors, who sent off intelligence to their respective Courts.
The above dispatches were sent off directly to the King at Windsor, by one of the messengers in waiting, with orders to use all possible expedition.
The following short recital of facts is genuine. The first dispatches from Paris announcing the receipt of the intelligence that the British Government were arming, gave Ministers assurances of the pacific appearance of the French Cabinet. This dispatch came by the regular mail on Friday.—On Sunday morning a messenger arrived, giving an account of Mr. Grenville's arrival on Tuesday, in which the pacific assurances were repeated, but still with this very material circumstance against them, that orders had been given for equipping at the ports with all possible expedition. On Monday morning the messenger arrived with an account of the conference which Mr. Grenville had with the Minister on the Thursday preceding, in which, according to the authority upon which we give this report, the French Minister expressed himself so equivocally, and spoke in so high a tone of the equipments going on in England, that Mr. Grenville was of opinion they meditated hostilities, and he was supported in this conjecture by the preparations which are now making in every department.
Such was the posture of things on Monday, and upon which our Ministers thought fit not only to continue, but augment the equipments.
It seems to be the will of fate, that the present Ministers should break the mighty confederacy formed against us during the American struggles. No period was ever so propitious to the interest and felicity of the country as this. The general aspect of things indicates, that Britain is about to acquire a vast accession, not only of fame, but of strength—of fame by having so fearfully interfered to restore the balance of power among the continental nations; and of strength by attaching to herself, as she
doubtless will very soon do, the undivided influence of the Dutch navy.
Extract of a letter from Antwerp, Sept. 22.
"The Count de St. Priest, nominated Ambassador from France to the States General of the United Provinces, arrived here on the night of the 17th and 18th of this month; but he has suspended his further journey, upon advice of the Prussian troops having entered into Holland, and the revolution which was effected by it. The Count of Valence is set out for the Court of Versailles, to obtain new instructions for the Ambassador. Several Dutch families have come here to take refuge, until the troubles in which their country is involved shall be terminated."
Extract of a letter from Vienna, Sept. 13.
"Great preparations are formed of an approaching discovery of a political nature which is very near at hand. Then we shall with certainty know what part our Sovereign will play in the great scene which is ready to open in Europe. The talk of the exchange of Bavaria is again renewed; it is supposed the affair is already concluded though secretly: France, it is said, makes no further opposition to this translation." Substance of the Manifesto of the Ottoman Court against the Court of Russia , communicated on the 24th of August to all the foreign ministers.
AFTER the desire of tranquility and public repose had induced the Sublime Porte and the Court of Russia to put an end to hostilities in the year 1774, this last took every occasion to make further propositions, incongruous with a sincere reconciliation, and contrary even to their own solemn conventions. She unexpectedly invaded the Crimea, the independence of which was the basis of the peace of Kainardgy; and whilst to attain perfect security on both sides, and to annihilate all further causes for contention between the two states, it was agreed in a reciprocal piece of communication, and expressly declared in a capitulation, that neither openly, nor in secret, any acts of hostility were to be committed; the Court of Russia excited the Kan of Teflis, (who, moreover, by virtue of an Imperial diploma, is subject to us) to rebel against the Sublime Porte; she afterwards introduced Russian troops into the place of Teflis, and gained over that Kan; by which means she raised disturbances in Georgia and its frontiers, and when called upon to desist, she returned a negative answer. In the articles of the peace, clear stipulations had been made for the exportation of salt in favor of the inhabitants of Oczakow, which had been assigned to them for a great length of time; yet the Russians, by various vexatious, have prevented the people of the frontiers from exporting the salt, and when required to fulfil their conditions have declined it.
Their Consul has seduced the Hospodar of Moldavia, who in our State holds the rank of Prince; and when, after his escape directed the Consul, it was demanded, that he should be given up to the Sublime Porte, in conformity to the Conventions, the Russian Minister violated and invalidated those Conventions by the decisive answer, "That his Court would not give him up;" and in construing many other articles in whatever sense was most agreeable to him, he made manifest the bad intentions of his Court.
In establishing Consuls in Wallachia, Bessarabia, and in the isles and places where they could have no other business but to molest the Mussulmans, the Court of Russia has seduced all the subjects of the Sublime Porte, and has enticed many of them into her own provinces, employing some in the navy, and others in different services.
The Court of Russia has made an improper interference in our internal affairs in demanding the deposition and chastisement of several Pachas, Judges, and Commandants in our dominions, in particular the Pacha of Cildu, and the Princes of Moldavia and Wallachia.
Besides which, every one knows the facility with which the Sublime Porte gave permission to the Russian merchants to enjoy the free exercise of their commerce, in allowing them to go about whatever they thought proper; every one also knows the stipulation that was made—that the merchants, who were subjects of the Sublime Porte, should be treated with the same indulgence in a due reciprocity—but the Court of Russia, in order to engross all the trade to herself, has obliged the subjects of the Sublime Porte to pay larger duties than those she imposes on the subjects of other powers; and does not suffer our merchants to pass thro' the provinces, when their object is to recover their just debts, by which oppressions many of them have been ruined, and others obliged to fly the country.
When the merchant ships of the Sublime Porte have from stress of weather, or any other cause, wanted to take shelter in any of the Russian ports, they have not permitted them, but have fired with ball on the crews of those vessels.
In the last place, the Minister from the Court of Russia has challenged us to war, in insisting officially, that if we did not accede to the explanation made by his Court, respecting the Kan of Teflis, General Potemkin
would have orders with an army of 60 or 70 thousand men, to approach our frontiers, and compel us to the execution of those articles. And further, that the Empress of Russia would herself come in person. The notification of such an order to General Potemkin, to come upon our frontiers with so large an army, is exactly the counterpart of the conduct which the Court of Russia held on the invasion of the Crimea.
That notification, in addition to the steps before taken, has destroyed all confidence, and made her dangerous intentions clear and certain. And as the principal cause of that insecurity was the Crimea remaining in the power of Russia, the Sublime Porte manifested its inclination to renew and consolidate the friendship between the two Courts, provided the Crimea was by a new treaty put into its former condition, to which the Russian Minister gave a positive refusal, adding, that he should not even make the proposition to his Court, and that if he did, no advantage could result from it, his Court being determined neither to abandon the Crimea, nor to accede to those articles, which she had already declined. War is become for the Mussulmans indispensably necessary, as well for these reasons, as others without number, both private and public.
On which account it was thought proper to remit this manifesto to our respectable, esteemed, old, and sincere friend, the King of
, in order to notify and declare to our friend the resolution which the Sublime Porte has taken to make war upon the Court of Russia; a resolution which is submitted to his mature consideration with an eye of discretion and equity.
Given at Constantinople the 24th of August, 1787.
THE FEDERALIST. No. XI. To the People of the State of New-York.
[Concluded from yesterday.]
UNDER a vigorous national Government, the natural strength and resources of the country, directed to a common interest, would baffle all the combinations of European jealousy to restrain our growth. This situation would even take away the motive to such combinations, by inducing an impracticability of success. An active commerce, an extensive navigation, and a flourishing marine would then be the inevitable offspring of moral and physical necessity. We might defy the little arts of little politicians to control, or vary, the irresistible and unchangeable course of nature.
But in a state of disunion these combinations might exist, and might operate with success. It would be in the power of the maritime nations, availing themselves of our universal impotence, to prescribe the conditions of our political existence; and as they have a common interest in being our carriers, and still more in preventing our being theirs, they would in all probability combine to embarrass our navigation in such a manner, as would in effect destroy it, and confine us to a PASSIVE COMMERCE. We should thus be compelled to content ourselves with the first price of our commodities, and to see the profits of our trade snatched from us to enrich our enemies and persecutors. That unequalled spirit of enterprise, which signalises the genius of American merchants and navigators, and which is in itself an inexhaustible mine of national wealth, would be stifled and lost; and poverty and disgrace would overspread a country, which with wisdom might make herself the admiration and envy of the world.
There are rights of great moment to the trade of America, which are rights of the Union—I allude to the fisheries, to the navigation of the Western lakes, and to that of the Mississippi. The dissolution of the confederacy would give room for delicate questions, concerning the future existence of these rights; which the interest of more powerful partners would hardly fail to solve to our disadvantage. The despotism of Spain with regard to the Mississippi needs no comment. France and Britain are concerned with us in the fisheries; and view them as of the utmost moment to their navigation. They, of course, would hardly remain long indifferent to that decided mastery of which experience has shown us to be possessed in this valuable branch of traffic; and by which we are able to undersell those nations in their own markets. What more natural, than that they should be disposed to exclude, from the lists, such dangerous competitors?
This branch of trade ought not to be considered as a partial benefit. All the navigating States may in different degrees advantageously participate in it, and under circumstances of a greater extension of mercantile capital would not be unlikely to do it. As a nursery of seamen it now is, or when time shall have more nearly assimilated the principles of navigation in the several States, will become an universal resource. To the establishment of a navy it must be indispensable.
To this great national object a NAVY, Union will contribute in various ways. Every institution will grow and flourish in proportion to the quantity and extent of the means concentrated towards its formation.

and support. A navy of the United States, as it would embrace the resources of all, is an object far less remote than a navy of any single State, or partial Confederacy, which would only embrace the resources of a part. It happens indeed that different portions of confederated America possess each some peculiar advantage for this essential establishment. The more Southern States furnish in greater abundance certain kinds of naval stores — tar, pitch and turpentine. Their wood for the construction of ships is also of a more solid and lasting texture. The difference in the duration of the ships of which the navy might be composed, if chiefly constructed of Southern wood would be of signal importance either in the view of naval strength or of national economy. Some of the Southern and of the middle States yield a greater plenty of iron and of better quality. Seamen must chiefly be drawn from the Northern hive. The necessity of naval protection to external or maritime commerce, does not require a particular elucidation, no more than the conducive-ness of that species of commerce to the prosperity of a navy. They, by a kind of reaction, mutually beneficial, promote each other.
An unrestrained intercourse between the States themselves will advance the trade of each, by an interchange of their respective productions, not only for the supply of reciprocal wants at home, but for exportation to foreign markets. The views of commerce in every part will be replenished, and will acquire additional motion and vigor from a free circulation of the commodities of every part. Commercial enterprise will have much greater scope, from the diversity in the productions of different States. When the staple of one fails, from a bad harvest or unproductive crop, it can call to its aid the staple of another — The variety not less than the value of products for exportation, contributes to the activity of foreign commerce. It can be conducted upon much better terms, with a large number of materials of a given value, than with a small number of materials of the same value; arising from the competitions of trade and from the fluctuations of markets. Particular articles may be in great demand, at certain periods, and unsaleable at others; but if there be a variety of articles it can scarcely happen that they should all be at one time in the latter predicament; and on this account the operations of the merchant would be less liable to any considerable obstruction, or stagnation. The speculative trader will once perceive the force of these observations; and will acknowledge that the aggregate balance of the commerce of the United States would bid fair to be much more favorable, than that of the thirteen States without union, or with partial unions.
It may perhaps be replied to this, that whether the States are united, or disunited, there would still be an intimate intercourse between them which would answer the same ends: But this intercourse would be fettered, interrupted and narrowed by a multiplicity of causes; which in the course of these Papers have been amply detailed. An unity of commercial, as well as political interests, can only result from an unity of government.
There are other points of view, in which this subject might be placed, of a striking and animating kind. But they would lead us too far into the regions of futurity, and would involve topics not proper for a Newspaper discussion — I shall briefly observe, that our situation invites, and our interests prompts to us, to aim at an ascendant in the system of American affairs. The world may politically, as well as geographically, be divided into four parts, each having a distinct set of interests. Unhappily for the other three, Europe by her arms and by her negotiations, by force and by fraud, has in different degrees, extended her dominion over them all. Africa, Asia, and America, have successively felt her domination. The superiority, she has long maintained, has tempted her to plume herself as the Mistress of the World, and to consider the rest of mankind as created for her benefit. Men admired as profound philosophers have, in direct terms, attributed to her inhabitants a physical superiority; and have greatly asserted that all animals, and with them the human species, degenerate in America — that even dogs cease to bark after having breathed a while in our atmosphere*. Facts have too long supported these arrogant pretensions of the European: It belongs to us to vindicate the honor of the human race, and to reach that assuming brother moderation. Union will enable us to do it. Disunion will add another victim to his triumphs. Let Americans disdain to be the instruments of European greatness! Let the thirteen States, bound together in a strict and indissoluble union, concur in erecting one great American system, superior to the control of all trans-Atlantic force or influence, and able to dictate the terms of the connection between the old and the new world!

THOMAS BURLING, CABINET and CHAIR-MAKER,
At the Sign of the Chair, near the Chapel, in Beckman-street, formerly Chapel-street. ACKNOWLEDGES the many favors received from his friends and the public, and would wish to inform them that he has opened a Warehouse of MAHOGANY and other FURNITURE, on a more extensive plan than heretofore; and for the convenience of strangers and others, who may resort to, or settle in this city, he means to keep an assortment where they may be supplied on the shortest notice; for it must hurt the feelings of every citizen to observe the daily importations strangers are liable to, in purchasing new furniture at these public vendues. He served his time with Samuel Prince, a conspicuous character in his way, and esteemed one of the best workmen in this city; and as he has laid in a stock of the best Mahogany and other Wood, and means to employ the best hands, and sell his work at the lowest rate good work sells at, he flatters himself with being able to give satisfaction to his customers.

NATHANIEL SMITH,
Perfumer, from London, At the New-York Hair-Powder and Perfume Manufactory, the Rose, No. 187, Queen-street, RETURNS his sincere thanks to his numerous customers who have so liberally encouraged him, and he assures them he is determined to persevere in selling every article as usual in the Perfumery line of the first quality, and on as low terms as it is possible to afford them. SMITH begs leave to recommend to ladies, his highly improved Milk of Roses, for beautifying the skin, it is by far the best Cosmetic in the world, being the proprietor of it, he can vouch for its innocence, for cleaning and clearing the skin from hard pimples, tans for tan, rendering it quite soft, delicate and fair; half dollar and one dollar per bottle, or three dollars per quart.

A CAUTION to OWNERS and MASTERS of VESSELS,
THAT they beware of rigging which is made of Holland yarn; for it is made in great quantities and exposed to sale, to the hurt of the buyer. It is of such a base quality, that it is not sufficient for cables or rigging of any kind: it is spun and dressed off in such a manner, as makes it difficult for the buyer to know it from the best rope. In order to try its evil quality, let the buyer take a few yards of the fag end of the rope, and open them into hemp, and if it prove to be short tow, you may take it for granted to be Holland yarn; which is spun of short tow and refuse of the hemp, that is manufactured into fail-cloth in Holland. N.B. It should be enquired who are the promoters of this caution, be it known that we are a company of rope-makers, who think it too tedious to insert our names here. tf New-York, Nov. 8.

New-York AIR FURNACE.
PETER T. CURTENIUS and Co. have repaired the New-York Air Furnace, and have procured the best workmen, together with the necessary apparatus to carry on the Manufactory of Cast Iron in the completest and best manner. Castings made in an Air Furnace, are allowed by all who are acquainted with the nature of Foundries, to be better than what is made in a Blast Furnace; because, in an Air Furnace, the ware is made out of the softest and best Pig Metal, and, by its being melted a second time, the scoria, or dross, is expelled, and nothing but the pure Metal remains. In a Blast Furnace, the Castings are made out of the first smelting of the crude Ore, and are more or less mixed with dross, which subjects the ware to be rough and spongy, and often full of cold shuts: the difference, in short, is nearly the same as there is between refined and Bloomery Iron. The ware they have made is allowed, by good judges, to be as light, as smooth, and as good as any imported from Europe. This consideration alone, of the ware being as good as the foreign, is a sufficient inducement, for an American, to give the preference to the manufactures of his own country; but a more powerful argument for the purchaser to give it a preference is, that it can be afforded cheaper than the imported ware, chiefly owing to a duty of six pounds per ton being laid on foreign castings. The ware manufactured at this Furnace, consists of the following articles, viz. Pots and kettles of various sizes, from one to fifteen gallons, tea-kettles, pye-pans, skillets, griddles, potash kettles and coolers, whaling-kettles, boilers for tallow-chandlers and sugar-works, stoves for sugar-bakers, mill-cases, cast bars for sugar-works and distilleries, rollers and shears for fluting-mills, chimney-backs, hearth and jamb plates, cast agreeable to any pattern that may be sent; close stoves for work-shops, Franklin stoves neatly decorated with carved work. Bath stove-grates elegantly ornamented with carvings, ship's caboucs of the new construction, with bake ovens in them, in which the same fire that roasts and boils the meat, bakes the bread; millrounds and guégeons, saw-mill cranks, calcining plates for making pearlashes, cast iron screws for fulling and paper-mills, fullers plates cast to any size that may be wanted, flash-weights, log-ge-hammers and anvils, plow-plates, half-hundreds, quarters, fourteen and seven pound weights; care, waggon, coach, phaeton, chair and sulkey boxes, &c. &c. &c. N.B. Persons who want any backs, or other ware, cast agreeable to particular patterns, will please to send their patterns and orders to the FURNACE, near Mr. Atlee's Brewery, or leave them at the house of PETER T. CURTENIUS, No. 48, Great Dock-street, near the Exchange. Oct. 15. gw

Dr. RYAN's incomparable Worm destroying SUGAR PLUMBS,
Highly necessary to be kept in all Families, SO exceedingly valued by all people who have had of them in Great-Britain and Ireland, for their transcendent excellency in the destroying Worms of all kinds, both in the bowels 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 passages of the body, and purge away thoseropy and slimy humours which are the cause of those pernicious vermin, and the source of many other disorders. They are one of the best purges in the whole world for gross-bodied children that are apt to breed worms, and have large bellies; their operation is mild, safe, and pleasant; they wonderfully cleanse the bowels of all it it and clammy humours which stop up the parts, and prevent the juice of food from being conveyed to the liver and made blood, which is often the case with children, and is attended with a hard belly, flinking breath, frequent fevers, rickets, and a decay of strength, in the lower parts; likewise settled aches and pains in the head, swellings, old sores, scabs, tetter, or breaking out, will be perfectly cured, and the blood and skin restored to its original purity and smoothness; they purge by urine, and bring away the gravel, and effectually cure all obstructions of the urine, or ulcers in the kidneys. They at once strike at the true cause of the scurvy, and entirely destroy it, and all scorbutic humours and effects, 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 light, as loaf sugar; and in their operation, as innocent as new milk. I have by these plumbs cured a great many children of a whooping or chin-coughs, and agues, which distempers are very common and troublesome to families, and the want of these plumbs are the ruin of many children's constitutions. These plumbs enrich and sweeten the whole mass of blood, carry off all gross, corrupt, and putrid humours, and create a fresh and healthy complexion in such as are affected in any putrid matter. The plumb is a great diuretick, cleansing the reins of urine; it expels wind, and is a sovereign medicine in the cholick and griping of the gut; it allays and carries off four vapours, which occasion many disorders in the head; it opens all obstructions in the stomach, lungs, liver, reins, and bladder, causes a good appetite, and helps digestion. It hath been found wonderfully successful to such persons as are going into chronicol distempers, as asthma, phthisicks, or shortness of breath, dropsies and yellow jaundice. Now I hope all impartial persons are satisfied that the medicine which works upon such humours, will almost reach any distemper, if not too far gone, since corruption and purification are the fore-runners of all diseases; therefore, no better physic can be taken for all ages, sexes, and constitutions, from infancy to an old age. These plumbs are highly serviceable to the female sex, from the age of 14 to 20, and from 40 to 50. Each box contains one dozen of these plumbs. Price Eight Shillings, with directions. Sold by H. GAIN, at his Book-store and Printing Office, in Hanover-Square. Diagnostick signs of Worms. PALENESS in the face, itching of the nose, hollowness of the eyes, grating of the teeth when asleep, dulness, pains and heaviness in the head, a dry cough, itching in the fundament, white and thick urine, unquiet sleep, often starting, loit appetite, swelled belly, knawing and biting about the stomach, frightful dreams, extreme thirst, the body decayed and lean, fits, often vomiting, flinking breath, &c. Directions for taking them. A Child from 1 to 2 years may eat one plumb; from 2 to 4 one and a half, from 4 to 6 two, from 6 to 8 two and a half, from 8 to 12 three, from 12 to 15, and all above that age may eat four plumbs, one hour or two before up-rising, not to drink during that time, but afterwards drink warm tea, whey, or water-gruel; in taking, the patient must stay 2 or 3 days betwixt each dose. In agues, the same quantity must be taken, 2, 3, or 4 hours before the fits come on, and be repeated three times. In whooping or chin-coughs, give the quantity above-mentioned. June 1. 32w.tf
