PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 21.
"We have the pleasure of informing the public, that two thirds of the Members returned to the Convention of this State are Federalists, and it is expected that the whole of them will become Federal, as soon as they hear the objections to the Government, removed by the gentlemen who have studied it attentively."
A correspondent informs us, that a certain heavy moulded Physician talks loudly of Shipping , from a neighbouring port, a quantity of bayonets, for the laudable purpose of opposing the new Constitution in this State.
It is currently reported that there are only two men in Virginia, who are not in debt , to be found among the enemies of the federal constitution. Debtors, Speculators in paper, and State demagogues act consistently in opposing it. It will reduce them to a level with their fellow citizens, and prevent their thriving any longer by the distresses of their country.
Extract of a letter from Wilmington, November 17.
"R---d H---y L-e passed through this town a few days ago, on his way to Virginia. He spent a whole evening in reading his Cincinnatuses, and in abusing Mr. Wilson and the new Government, to a group of school-boys and hollers, who have since made themselves very merry at his expence. Various reasons are given for the weak part he is acting in this business, but the most probable one is, that it arises from envy of the fame of General Washington, and the dread he entertains of seeing that good man placed in the President's chair of the United States."
New-York, Nov. 24.
We hear that his Excellency General WASHINGTON, has consented to represent the County of Fairfax, in Virginia, in the State Convention of that Commonwealth, which is to take into consideration the new Federal Government.
Extract of a letter from Pittsburg, Nov. 3.
"On Saturday last the party of volunteers which went in pursuit of the Indians, returned, without having come up with them; they had got two days march ahead. At the Salt Licks the Indians attacked Capt. Robins, who, with a few men, and a quantity of goods, was proceeding to the Moravian Towns. The party was sleeping in a small hut built by Mr. David Duncan, and one of them having occasion to go out in the night, was struck on the head with a tomahawk, this alarmed the rest, who immediately got up and after firing a few shots, dispersed the Indians, and returned to this Town. The wounded man is in a fair way of recovering."
Extract of a letter from Rhode-Island, dated the 7th inst. to a gentleman in Philadelphia.
"By the papers now forwarded, you may form some idea of the politics of this State. From the proceedings of our Legislature last week, you may reasonably conclude that our rulers have not yet completed their diabolical Schemes. How far they mean to carry their vile plans, time alone must make known. A viler and more abandoned set of beings never disgraced any Legislative, Judicial or Executive authorities since the fall of Adam. Every conscientious and honest man in our devoted republic is employed in contemplating with admiration, and devoutly wishing for the speedy adoption of the new Constitution, tho' their fears are occasionally on the alarm from the ill-founded suggestions of a G-r-y, and the more fly insinuations of your sixteen seceding members; performances too well adapted to blow up the flame of disunion, and to imbitter the minds of the people against all good and virtuous Government. Such men, I am sorry to find, you have in Pennsylvania. Were we favored with a civil Constitution immediately from Heaven, I have no doubt but that they, with our abandoned leaders, would enter their objections. God grant that there may be wisdom and goodness enough still found among the majority to adopt, without hesitation, what a Washington, a Franklin, a Madison, &c. so warmly recommend. Without this adoption, a civil war, I am afraid, will take place. This must arise from the present confusion of our different State Governments.---The proceedings of the Baptist Association , lately convened at New-York, are highly approved here. Their brethren throughout the Eastern States are also highly Federal. May all other christian denominations evidence the same zeal, in cordially recommending and fervently espousing a firm, vigorous and well-established Government , so admirably calculated for the preservation of our dear-bought liberty, civil and religious ."
The Morris, Capt. Sinnott, and the Edgar, Capt. Sarly both of this port, are arrived safe at Bourdeaux.

The B E G G A R. A FRAGMENT.
GOOD God! here is another object of thy mysterious dispensation!
I was just returning from a ramble I had taken in the adjacent fields, to indulge an involuntary mood of meditation, and had reached the out-skirts of the town. The sun had withdrawn his cheering rays---and the gloomy mantle of night was just descending within my view---when I perceived the aged, feeble, and venerable old person, to be approaching toward me from the side of the way---He was accompanied by a small Child, which he led by the hand, and a little Dog, confined by a string---He was a Beggar!---wretchedness was immitably painted in his appearance!---I put the few pence I had in my pocket into my hand---I advanced to him. The Child began, in accents pitiable indeed! to tell its well-known tale of woe. "Stop thy dismal prating, my Child!" cried the old man, "we have now no further need of wounding the ears of the transient passenger with our complaints"---The poor Infant looked up earnestly in his face---and then at the dog---who had begun, also, to offer his long-taught petition in behalf of his master, by raising himself on his hinder legs, in a supplicating posture.---"Daddy! little Cæsar won't be done begging!" The old man wept---all were silent!---It was with difficulty that,---after some pause---I asked for a knowledge of the cause of the uncommon scene of sorrow and wretchedness, pictured in the little group before me.
Many years had passed away since misfortune had claimed the old man "for its own"---once, he had lived comfortably---Losses in trade, and sickness, blasted all his comforts, and means of making life tolerable.---Neglected by his friends, he became an outcast from the society, of which he had been a reputable member, upon the charity of the world at large!---His affectionate wife had, but a few days before, left him to mourn his sorrows alone! without a friend to alleviate save his poor Tommy, and "little Cæsar!"
After giving vent to his tears anew---he continued---"Enfeebled with the daily encreasing load of wretched poverty, and decay of years, I am now endeavoring to reach yonder mansion, raised and supported by the truly humane ---where is promised me a sanctuary, in which I can breathe in peace the few days left for my existence in this vale of sorrows.---May our God---who is the God of Charity!---reward them for bestowing that little which I want!---I shall not "want that little long!"
Gracious God! how many are there of thy creatures, who, like this man, want but little---and yet---how often is that little denied to them!---But, while I have a penny left---he shall not want it---Yes, old man! I will take care of thee---thy child---and, of thy dog---for he, tho' a Dog! was faithful to thee in all thy sufferings.---O Thou, to whom 'tis highly pleasing that we---"clothe the naked, feed the hungry, and relieve the imprisoned,"---enforce upon us all this duty, which thou hast not only taught us in precept, but hath also enforced by thy divine example:---For woe be to him, who, tho' he acknowledge thee, doth not observe it fully !---From the truly humane the object of misery ever receives a charitable sympathy and relief---and to him it is of little consequence, whether the Pentateuch or the Alcoran declare it to be right !
Nov. 22. TRISTRAM.
For the Daily Advertiser.
A Petulant OBSERVER in the DAILY ADVERTISER of Monday, is of opinion, that Publius has been unfortunate in his reference to the case of the Union between England and Scotland---the latter Kingdom, it seems, for want of an adequate representation, has been a sufferer by the Union; and the proofs of this are the pathetic harangues of a member of Parliament, and the emigration of Scotchmen to America.
That the first is not a very satisfactory piece of evidence will be manifest to all those, who know how easy a thing it is for members of a popular Assembly to declaim when they have a favorite point to carry. The efforts of Mr. Dempster to obtain a parliamentary patronage of the Scotch fisheries, is a curious proof, that the nation itself is in a worse condition, by its incorporation with England under one Government. As to the circumstance of emigrations to this country, it is matter of surprise, that they have been so limited. Considering the real temptations, which America holds out to the industrious poor of all nations, and the enthusiasm inspired in her favor, by the first impressions of the late Revolution, most men have been disappointed in the small number of emigrants, that have arrived from Scotland; a country, the physical or natural advantages of which are so greatly inferior to those of the United States. There is a love of novelty in the human heart, that is often an over-match for the attachment to native soil. How else does it appear, that such swarms of people abandon the most fertile and flourishing parts of our Atlantic settlements, to make establishments beyond the Ohio? Many circumstances conspire to place, in a seducing light, the advantages of expatriating to America; and if we should see people from any part of Europe flocking hither, it would be a fallacious argument, either of the badness of the Government, or of the distress of the country from which they came.
It is true, as the Observer intimated, that there was a strong party in Scotland, violent in their opposition to the incorporation of the two Kingdoms. These men, like the Anti-federalists of America, pronounced that measure to be unnatural and impracticable, and predicted an endless train of mischiefs from its adoption. There was also a considerably party in England whose prognostics were not more favorable; but the friends to the Union in both countries triumphed; and experience has confirmed the justness of their views, in the reciprocal prosperity of the two nations. At the present day, there is not an enlightened man in either Kingdom, that doubts the utility of that great event to both.
The no less judicious than elegant Robertson, a Scotch historian, gives the following account of the effects of the Union. "The political POWER* of the NOBLES (says he) already broken by the Union of the two Crowns, was almost annihilated by the UNION OF THE TWO KINGDOMS." "As the Nobles were deprived of power, THE PEOPLE ACQUIRED LIBERTY. Exempted from burthens to which they were formerly subject, screened from oppression, to which they had been long exposed, and adopted into a Constitution, whose genius and laws were more liberal than their own, THEY HAVE EXTENDED THEIR COMMERCE, REFINED THEIR MANNERS, MADE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE ELEGANCIES OF LIFE, AND CULTIVATED THE ARTS AND SCIENCES." "Since the Union the COMMONS, anciently neglected by their Kings, and despised by their Nobles, have emerged into dignity, and being admitted to a participation of all the privileges, which the English had purchased, at the expence of so much blood, must now be esteemed a body not less considerable in one Kingdom than they long have been in the other."
The impartial and enlightend Goldsmith, an English historian, delivers himself upon the same subject, in these terms. "The Scotch were fired with indignation at the thoughts of losing their ancient and independent Government. The Nobility found themselves degraded in point of dignity and influence, by being excluded from their seats in Parliament. The trading part of the nation beheld their commerce loaded with heavy duties, and considered their new privilege of trading to the English plantations, in the West-Indies, as a very uncertain advantage. In the English houses also, it was observed, that the Union of a rich with a poor nation, would be always beneficial to the latter, and that the former could only hope for a participation of their necessities. It was said, that the Scotch reluctantly yielded to this coalition, and that it might be likened to a marriage with a woman against her consent. It was supposed to be an Union, made up of so many unmatched pieces, and such incongruous ingredients, that it could never take effect. It was complained, that the proportion of the land tax paid by the Scotch was small, and unequal to their share in the Legislature. To these arguments in both nations, besides
* History of Scotland, vol. 2, page 29, 299. § History of England, vol. 4, page 151, 122.
the shew of a particular answer to each, one great argument was used, which ponderated against all the lesser ones. It was observed that all inconveniences were to be overlooked in the attainment of one great and solid advantage; that of acting with uniformity of counsels for the benefit of a community naturally united . The party, therefore, for the Union prevailed; AND THIS MEASURE WAS CARRIED IN BOTH NATIONS THROUGH ALL THE OBSTACLES OF PRETENDING PATRIOTISM AND PRIVATE INTEREST, from which we may learn, that many great difficulties are surmounted because they are not seen by those who direct the operation; and that SCHEMES, which THEORY deems IMPRACTICABLE, will OFTEN SUCCEED in EXPERIMENT."
Thus we find the historians of both countries bearing testimony to the advantages derived from the adoption of a measure, which the candid and well informed OBSERVER treats as having been ruinous to one of them. As it cannot well be supposed, that the two historians were in a conspiracy with PUBLIUS to deceive the people of America, there will be no resource left for the Observer, but to hint in his next publication, that they were bribed with British gold to be the panegyrists of the Union. Who can be wise, or honest, that lips a sentiment or retails a fact, in contradiction to the representations of the wise and virtuous militants against the proposed Constitution.
The Observer states, as one of the arguments used in Scotland against the consolidation of the two Governments, that it would oblige her to take part in the wars of England against France, with which nation, Scotland, before the Union, had at all times been upon terms of the most cordial amity. The true amount of this argument is precisely this:---Scotland, by her Union with England, will be compelled to engage in the wars of the latter kingdom against France, a DISTANT POWER, and able, from that circumstance, to do her LITTLE INJURY; and, if not united with England, she will commonly be enlisted on the side of France against England, and must sacrifice considerations of immediate safety to her connection with a power incapable, from its distance, of securing her effectually against the attacks of a near formidable neighbor. But this argument could not have been used against the consolidation of the two kingdoms, because the Union of the Crowns, which had preceded that event, included the evil, if it was an evil, against which the force of that argument was directed. The Observer knows enough of the history of the two kingdoms, to be convinced, that lessons still more instructive to this country might be drawn from the operation of the alliances, in which Scotland was engaged prior to the Union.
As to the cavil against those remarks of PUBLIUS, which are designed to shew the dangerous consequences of disunion, whether it terminates in a total separation of the States, or in several smaller Confederacies, it will be sufficient to establish facts to detect its futility. PUBLIUS no where alleges, that the doctrine of two or three separate Confederacies has been advanced by any of the writers against the New Constitution. He only asserts that it has been held up in private circles, a fact which the Observer cannot be ignorant of; and that the tendency of the argument, which have been urged in some publications that have appeared on the other side of the question, is towards the same point. To make out this conclusion, he undertakes to shew, that no Government less comprehensive, or energetic, than the one proposed, can be adequate to the preservation of the Union; and that therefore the tenets of the authors of those publications, which aim at narrowing the boundaries of the Federal authority, must lead to the alternative of entire disunion, or partial confederacies. This is the evident scope of Publius's observations. In this view of the subject, which is the true one, is there any thing disingenuous, or improper, in displaying the disadvantages that would attend such a situation? Is there any thing unnatural in the order he has chosen of preceding the arguments, which are to explain the principles of a Government, adapted to the preservation of the UNION, by an examination of the utility of the thing itself, and the mischiefs of its opposite, under whatever shape?
Let the people judge whether Publius or the Observer aims most at deception, from the attempts he has made to disparage the benefit of the Union to Scotland. There is indeed a degree of enterprize in that attempt, which was hardly to be looked for, even from the adventurous spirit, that so highly distinguishes the adversaries of the New Constitution. The means of detection were so near at hand, that we cannot be indifferent to that undaunted disregard of the ordinary rules of prudence, which marks so singular an experiment. There are few causes so bad as entirely to destroy the merit of noble daring; and in the present instance, the temerity of the undertaking is forgotten, in the admiration we feel for the spirit, that dictated it. Indeed, in the score

of spirit, it is impossible to do complete justice to that meritorious class of citizens who stand forth in print the champions of the public liberty, against the meditated invasions of a Washington and a Franklin; who compliment the heroism of the first at the expence of his understanding, and expatiate on the past merits of the latter, as an apology for the errors of his present dosage; who brand, as men of arbitrary principles and dishonest views, all those who in the Convention, or out of it, have ventured to depart from their infallible notions of Government; and who represent, as conspirators against the liberties of the people, the best and brightest characters of the community---men whose patriotism can stand the test of unequivocal facts, and who through every vicissitude of fortune, were the firmest and most useful supporters of the American Revolution.
DETECTOR.
CATO, No. V.
To the Citizens of the State of New-York. IN my last number I endeavored to prove that the language of the article relative to the establishment of the executive of this new government was vague and inexplicit; that the great powers of the President, connected with his duration in office would lead to oppression and ruin; that he would be governed by favorites and flatterers, or that a dangerous council would be collected from the great officers of state; that the ten miles square, if the remarks of one of the wisest men, drawn from the experience of mankind, may be credited, would be the asylum of the base, idle, avaricious and ambitious, and that the court would possess a language and manners different from yours; that a vice president is as unnecessary, as he is dangerous in his influence; that the president cannot represent you, because he is not of your own immediate choice; that if you adopt this government, you will incline to an arbitrary and odious aristocracy or monarchy; that the president possessed of the power, given him by this frame of government differs but very immaterially from the establishment of monarchy in Great-Britain; and I warned you to beware of the fallacious resemblance that is held out to you by the advocates of this new system between it and your own state governments.
And here I cannot help remarking, that inexplicitness seems to pervade this whole political fabric: certainty in political compacts, which Mr. Coke calls the mother and nurse of repose and quietness , the want of which induced men to engage in political society, has ever been held by a wise and free people as essential to their security; as on the one hand it fixes barriers which the ambitious and tyrannically disposed magistrate dare not overleap, and on the other, becomes a wall of safety to the community, otherwise stipulations between the governors and governed are nugatory; and you might as well deposit the important powers of legislation and execution in one or a few, and permit them to govern according to their disposition and will; but the world is too full of examples, which prove that to live by one man's will became the cause of all men's misery . Before the existence of express political compacts it was reasonably implied that the magistrate should govern with wisdom and justice, but mere implication was too feeble to restrain the unbridled ambition of a bad man, or afford security against negligence, cruelty, or any other defect of mind. It is alleged that the opinions and manners of the people of America are capable to resist and prevent an extension of prerogative or oppression; but you must recollect that opinion and manners are mutable, and may not always be a permanent obstruction against the encroachments of government; that the progress of a commercial society begets luxury, the parent of inequality, the toe to virtue, and the enemy to restraint; and that ambition and voluptuousness aided by flattery, will teach magistrates, where limits are not explicitly fixed to have separate and distinct interests from the people; besides it will not be denied that government assimilates the manners and opinions of the community to it. Therefore, a general presumption that rulers will govern well is not a sufficient security. You are then under a sacred obligation to provide for the safety of your posterity, and would you now basely desert their interests, when by a small share of prudence you may transmit to them a beautiful political patrimony, which will prevent the necessity of their travelling through seas of blood to obtain that, which your wisdom might have secured:---It is a duty you owe likewise to your own reputation, for you have a great name to lose; you are characterised as cautious, prudent and jealous in politics; whence is it therefore, that you are about to precipitate yourselves into a sea of uncertainty, and adopt a system so vague, and which has discarded so many of your valuable rights?---Is it because you do not believe that an American can be a tyrant? If this be the case you rest on a weak basis. Americans are like other men in similar situations, when the manners and opinions
of the community are changed by the causes I mentioned before; and your political compact inexplicit, your posterity will find that great power connected with ambition, luxury, and flattery, will as readily produce a Cæsar, Caligula, Nero, and Domitian in America, as the same causes did in the Roman empire.
But the next thing to be considered in conformity to my plan, is the first article of this new Government, which comprises the erection of the house of representatives and senate, and prescribes their various powers and objects of legislation. The most general objections to the first article, are that biennial elections for representatives are a departure from the safe democratical principles of annual ones---that the number of representatives are too few; that the appointment and principles of increase are unjust; that no attention has been paid to either the numbers or property in each State in forming the senate; that the mode in which they are appointed and their duration, will lead to the establishment of an aristocracy; that the senate and President are improperly connected, both as to appointments, and the making of treaties, which are to become the supreme law of the land; that the judicial in some measure, to wit, as to the trial of impeachments, is placed in the senate a branch of the legislative, and sometimes a branch of the executive: that Congress have the improper power of making or altering the regulations prescribed by the different Legislatures, respecting the time, place, and manner of holding elections for representatives; and the time and manner of chusing senators; that standing armies may be established, and appropriation of money made for their support, for two years; that the militia of the most remote State may be marched into those States situated at the opposite extreme of this continent; that the slave trade is, to all intents and purposes permanently established; and a slavish capitation, or poll-tax, may at any time be levied---these are some of the many evils that will attend the adoption of this Government.
But with respect to the first objection, it may be remarked that a well digested democracy has this advantage over all others, to wit, that it affords to many the opportunity to be advanced to the supreme command, and the honors they thereby enjoy fills them with a desire of rendering themselves worthy of them; hence this desire becomes part of their education, is matured in manhood, and produces an ardent affection for their country, and it is the opinion of the great Sidney and Montesquieu, that this is a great measure produced by annual election of Magistrates.

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 quanti- ties 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 or short tow and refuse of the hemp, that is manufactured in- to Caten-cloth in Holland. N. B. If it should be enquired who are the pro- moters of this caution, be it known that we are a com- pany of rope-makers, who think it too tedious to insert our names here. tf New-York, Nov. 8.
THOMAS BURLING, CABINET and CHAIR-MAKER, At the Sign of the Chair, near the Chapel, in Beck- man-Street. Formerly Chapel-Street. ACKNOWLEDGES the many favors received from his friends at the public, and would wish to inform them that he has opened a Ware Room of MAHOGANY and other FURNITURE, on a more ex- tensive plan than heretofore; and for the conveni- ence 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 ob- serve the daily imposition strangers are liable to, in purchasing new furniture at these public vendues. He served his time with Samuel Prince, a conspi- cuous 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 felt his work at the lowest rate good work falls at, he flatters himself with being able to give satisfaction to his customers.

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, be- ing the proprietor of it, he can vouch for its inno- cence, for cleansing and clearing the skin from hard pimples, scurf or tan, rendering it quite soft, deli- cate and fair; half dollar and one dollar per bottle, or three dollars per quart. He cannot be answerable for any Milk of Roses but what he prepares himself, with his label upon the bottle; therefore, ladies can- not be too particular in asking for N. SMITH's Milk of Roses; for that as well as many more articles are imported under titles they are not deserving of.

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 ne- cessary apparatus to carry on the Manufacture of Cast Iron in the completest and best manner.
Castings made in an Air Furnace, are al- lowed 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 mixt with dross, which subjects the ware to be rough and spongy, and often full of cold shutts: the differ- ence, in short, is nearly the same as there is be- tween 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 be- ing as good as the foreign, is a sufficient inducement, for an American, to give the preference to the manu- factures of his own country; but a more powerful ar- gument 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, skil- kettles, griddles, porash kettles and coolers, whaling- kettles, boilers for tallow-chandlers and sugar-works, flaves for sugar-bakers, mill-cafes, cast bars for su- gar-works and distilleries, rollers and shears for flit- ting-mills, chimney-backs, hearth and jamb plates, cast agreeable to any pattern that may be sent; close flaves for work-shops, Franklin flaves neatly deco- rated with carved work, Bath flave-grates elegantly ornamented with carvings, ship's caboules of the new construction, with bake ovens in them, in which the same fire that roasts and boils the meat, bakes the bread, mill rounds and gudgeons, saw-mill cranks, calcining plates for making pearlshes, cast iron screws for tilling and paper-mills, fullers plates cast to any size that may be wanted, sash-weights, fo-ge- hammers and anvils, plow-plates, half-hundreds, quarters, fourteen and seven pound weights; cars, waggon, coach, phaeton, chair and tulkey 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. tw

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 bodies of men, women, and children, by not only breaking the knots in the du- odenum, 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 slimy and clam- my 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, stinking 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 smooth- ness; they purge by urine, and bring away the gra- vel, 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 scrofulous 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 sight, as loaf sugar; and in their operation, as innocent as new milk. I have by these plumbs cured a great many chil- dren of a whooping or chin-coughs, and agues, which distempers are very common and troublesome to fa- milies, 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 hu- mours, and create a fresh and healthy complexion in such as are affected in any putrid matter. The plumb is a great dietetic, cleansing the reins of urine; it expels wind, and is a sovereign medi- cine in the cholick and griping of the guts; 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, cau- ses a good appetite, and helps digestion. It hath been found wonderfully successful to such persons as are going into chronic distempers, as asthma, phthisicks, or shortness of breath, dropsies and yel- low 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 putrefaction are the forerunners of all diseases; therefore, no better physe can be taken for all ages, sexes, and consti- tutions, 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 con- tains one dozen of these plumbs. ---Price Eight Shil- lings, with directions. Sold by H. GAINE, at his Book-store and Printing Office, in Hanover-Square.
Diagnostick signs of Worms. PALENESS in the face, itching of the nose, hol- lowness 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, lost appe- tite, swelled belly, gnawing and biting about the stomach, frightful dreams, extreme thirst, the bo- dy decayed and lean, fits, often vomiting, stinking 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 fit comes on, and be repeated three times. In whooping or chin-coughs, give the quantity above-mentioned. June 1. 3aw. tf.
