New-York, Nov. 22.
The Monument erected in this city, to the memory of that patriotic warrior, the late General MONTGOMERY, has received the following elegant ornamental additions, designed by Major L'Enfant, the gentleman to whom we are indebted for superintending its original erection:—“Hymen, extinguishing his torch, mourns over the tomb. From behind the pyramid rises a Sun with thirteen rays, which enlightens the quarter of a terrestrial globe, emblematical of America. Above the whole is the American Eagle flying from East to West, carrying in his talons a starry curtain, in which the globe appears to have been wrapped.” It must give real satisfaction to every patriotic mind, to behold the attention of genius and taste thus generously employed, in celebrating American heroism and departed virtue.
A Liverpool paper of the 24th Sept. says, “It is not improbable, after all the endeavors of the mediating powers, but that the States of Holland, West Frizeland, and Utrecht, will oblige the King of Prussia to proceed to extremities, as he may think proper, in vindication of the Stadtholder's rights, and to restore the ancient Constitution of the Republic, now broken and divided by the many jarring resolves of the above-mentioned States. We confess we have our doubts of the probability of the French assisting the States; and it is even confessed by the political intelligencers on the patriot side, that the system of the Court of France is changed on this head, and that they are to try every method in the way of mediation first, and appease, if possible, instead of irritating the Prussian Monarch.
“It puzzles the brain of the wisest politician to devise what kind of satisfaction France can offer, or Prussia accept, other than that which is impossible, viz. a disavowal of the attempt to seize the Princess of Orange, and the punishment of those who did make that attempt. This the States can never submit to, without violating their faith to their supporters—and violating truth at the same time; for it is well known, and they cannot deny it, that the Princess has long been the object of their aversion. It is more than four years since they openly accused her of intriguing politically against the States; and, when the Prince demanded satisfaction for this insult, they refused to prosecute the Printers of such libels.
“In fact, it may be said of Holland as it was said of America. The design to be independent did not, in the latter case, take its rise from the Tea Act. It had before that period risen to a very considerable height. That was the pretence only. And in Holland, for a series of years, jealousies have been encouraged and fomented by the Aristocratic and Democratic parties against the Monarchical or Stadtholderian party. Real injuries never were complained of. But surmises, insinuations, and allegations, were made without number, and an aversion to the Stadtholder's person, family, and Government, is at the bottom of every proceeding since the American war. At that time the Dutch furnished the Americans with every necessary for carrying on the war against Britain, contrary to the faith of nations. When, in consequence of many fruitless remonstrances, we were compelled to do ourselves justice, the Dutch, from the hesitating and slow form of their Constitution, were unprepared, and throughout the whole war unsuccessful. They accused the Stadtholder as being in secret combination with England; they proved nothing, even after the long enquiry into the affair of the Brest fleet. But although they proved nothing, they have gone on ever since suspecting; and we believe that if many, who are now most inveterate against the Stadtholder, were to be asked this plain question, What has he done? they would be at a loss to make an answer. Hence it is, that no nation will adopt the cause of the Dutch, unless from interested views, for to the pity of any nation they have no claim. And all that the philosopher and the philanthropist can do is, to brood over the impending calamities of a civil war, and to regret that a country that might be happy and flourishing, is like to be deluged in blood.”
On the 24th of August, in lat. 45, 46, N. long. 38, 0, W. Capt. Collinson (of the Backhouse, which arrived at Liverpool on the 23d Sept. from Grenada) being about a mile astern of a French East-Indian, which was bound for L'Orient, perceived a man floating on the water towards him; on which he threw an oar and an empty cask overboard, for present assistance, and got his boat out as soon as possible, with which he was fortunate enough to get him on board his vessel. On questioning him, he learned that he was one of three men, who, for some misbehaviour, had been sentenced, in the East-Indies, to be sent to Old France, and there shot to death by way of example; when, seeing the Backhouse so near, and being released from the irons with which he had been for a long
time confined, impelled by that natural love of life which is implanted in our nature, he took the resolution of getting out of one of the port-holes, and dropping into the water, chusing to run the risque of drowning, rather than proceed to his native country, where certain death awaited him; and this risque was very great, as he seemed to know little more of swimming, than just to keep himself above water; for tho' the oar, which was thrown overboard, came within five yards, he seemed not to know how to get nearer to it.
In the Liverpool papers, the Eliza, Mercer, and the Betley and Amey, Watt, are advertised for New-York;
The Hall, Ward, for Philadelphia;
The Irish Volunteer, Cooke, for Baltimore;
The Peace and Plenty, Williams, for Boston;
The Henderson, Steel, and the Abby, Braithwaite, for James River;
The Anne, Tolson; Clio, Dawson; Jane, Watson; and Ardeer, Sutherland; for Charleston.
They were all to sail early in October.

Sept. 11. Mr. Grenville is returned to the Continent, with full powers for executing the negotiation now on the tapis between his Majesty and the Prince of Orange.
An anonymous correspondent says, he has received a letter from Holland, dated August 28, which states, that by accounts from Rotterdam it appears, that the Prince of Brunswick had received a wound in a skirmish near Utrecht, which the surgeons had declared mortal; and that great alarm was spread in consequence of this affair.
One of the principal articles of the late Convention between France and England is, “That no ships of war, of any description, on either side, shall sail for the East-Indies, without mutual consent.” This article will, in all probability, be one of the best preservatives against war, as it has been the policy of France, for near half a century, to strengthen herself, previous to a rupture, in her extra European settlements. She did so in the West-Indies in the war of 1744; in America in the war of 1756; and in the East-Indies in the late war, just before she declared in favor of America.
The following is the 13th article in the Definitive Treaty of Peace, to which the Convention announced in the Gazette alludes: “Art. XIII. If either of the high contracting parties has granted, or shall grant, any bounties for encouraging the exportation of any article, being of the growth, produce, or manufacture of his dominions, the other party shall be allowed to add, to the duties imposed by virtue of the present treaty, on the said goods and merchandise imported into his dominions, such an import duty as shall be equivalent to said bounty. But this stipulation is not to be extended to cases of restoration of duties and imposts (called draw-backs) which are allowed upon exportation.”

To the People of the State of New-York.
AMONG the numerous advantages promised by a well constructed Union, none deserves to be more accurately developed than its tendency to break and control the violence of faction. The friend of popular governments, never finds himself so much alarmed for their character and fate, as when he contemplates their propensity to this dangerous vice. He will not fail therefore to set a due value on any plan which, without violating the principles to which he is attached, provides a proper cure for it. The instability, injustice and confusion introduced into the public councils, have in truth been the mortal diseases under which popular governments have every where perished; as they continue to be the favorite and fruitful topics from which the adversaries to liberty derive their most specious declamations. The valuable improvements made by the American Constitutions on the popular models, both ancient and modern, cannot certainly be too much admired; but it would be an unwarrantable partiality, to contend that they have as effectually obviated the danger on this side as was wished and expected. Complaints are every where heard from our most considerate and virtuous citizens, equally the friends of public and private faith, and of public and personal liberty; that our governments are too unstable; that the public good is disregarded in the conflicts of rival parties; and that measures are too often decided, not according to the rules of justice, and the rights of the minor party; but by the superior force of an interested and over-bearing majority. However anxiously we may wish that these complaints had no foundation, the evidence of known facts will not permit us to deny that they are in some degree true. It will be found indeed, on a candid review of our situation, that some of the distresses under which we labor, have been erroneously charged on the
operation of our governments; but it will be found, at the same time, that other causes will not alone account for many of our heaviest misfortunes; and particularly, for that prevailing and increasing distrust of public engagements, and alarm for private rights, which are echoed from one end of the continent to the other. These must be chiefly, if not wholly, effects of the unsteadiness and injustice, with which a factious spirit has tainted our public administrations.
By a faction I understand a number of citizens, whether amounting to a majority or minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adverse to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community.
There are two methods of curing the mischiefs of faction: the one, by removing its causes; the other, by controlling its effects.
There are again two methods of removing the causes of faction: the one by destroying the liberty which is essential to its existence; the other, by giving to every citizen the same opinions, the same passions, and the same interests.
It could never be more truly said than of the first remedy, that it is worse than the disease. Liberty is to faction, what air is to fire, an aliment without which it instantly expires. But it could not be a less folly to abolish liberty, which is essential to political life, because it nourishes faction, than it would be to wish the annihilation of air, which is essential to animal life, because it imparts to fire its destructive agency.
The second expedient is as impracticable, as the first would be unwise. As long as the reason of man continues fallible, and he is at liberty to exercise it, different opinions will be formed. As long as the connection subsists between his reason and his self-love, his opinions and his passions will have a reciprocal influence on each other; and the former will be objects to which the latter will attach themselves. The diversity in the faculties of men from which the rights of property originate, is not less an insuperable obstacle to a uniformity of interests. The protection of different and unequal faculties of acquiring property, the possession of different degrees and kinds of property immediately results; and from the influence of these on the sentiments and views of the respective proprietors, ensues a division of the society into different interests and parties.
The latent causes of faction are thus sown in the nature of man; and we see them everywhere brought into different degrees of activity, according to the different circumstances of civil society. A zeal for different opinions concerning religion, concerning Government, and many other points, as well of speculation as of practice; an attachment to different leaders ambitiously contending for pre-eminence and power; or to persons of other descriptions whose fortunes have been interesting to the human passions, have in turn divided mankind into parties, inflamed them with mutual animosity, and rendered them much more disposed to vex and oppress each other, than to co-operate for their common good. So strong is this propensity of mankind to fall into mutual animosities, that where no substantial occasion presents itself, the most frivolous and fanciful distinctions have been sufficient to kindle their unfriendly passions, and excite their most violent conflicts. But the most common and durable source of factions, has been the various and unequal distribution of property. Those who hold, and those who are without property, have ever formed distinct interests in society. Those who are creditors, and those who are debtors, fall under a like discrimination. A landed interest, a manufacturing interest, a mercantile interest, a monied interest, with many lesser interests, grow up of necessity in civilized nations, and divide them into different classes, actuated by different sentiments and views. The regulation of these various and interfering interests forms the principal task of modern Legislation, and involves the spirit of party and faction in the necessary and ordinary operations of Government.
No man is allowed to be a judge in his own cause; because his interest would certainly bias his judgment, and, not improbably, corrupt his integrity. With equal, nay with greater reason, a body of men, are unfit to be both judges and parties, at the same time; yet, what are many of the most important acts of legislation, but so many judicial determinations, not indeed concerning the rights of single persons, but concerning the rights of large bodies of citizens; and what are the different classes of legislators, but advocates and parties to the causes which they determine? Is a law proposed concerning private debts? It is a question to which the creditors are parties on one side, and the debtors on the other. Justice ought to hold the balance between them. Yet the parties are and must be themselves the judges; and the most numerous party, or, in other words, the most powerful faction must be expected to prevail. Shall domestic manufactures be
encouraged, and in what degree, by restrictions on foreign manufactures? are questions which would be differently decided by the landed and the manufacturing classes; and probably by neither, with a sole regard to justice and the public good. The apportionment of taxes on the various descriptions of property, is an act which seems to require the most exact impartiality; yet there is perhaps no legislative act in which greater opportunity and temptation are given to a predominant party, to trample on the rules of justice. Every shilling with which they over-burden the inferior number, is a shilling saved to their own pockets.
It is in vain to say, that enlightened statesmen will be able to adjust these clashing interests, and render them all subservient to the public good. Enlightened statesmen will not always be at the helm: Nor, in many cases, can such an adjustment be made at all, without taking into view indirect and remote considerations, which will rarely prevail over the immediate interest which one party may find in disregarding the rights of another, or the good of the whole.
The inference to which we are brought, is, that the causes of faction cannot be removed; and that relief is only to be sought in the means of controlling its effects.
If a faction consists of less than a majority, relief is supplied by the republican principle, which enables the majority to defeat its sinister views by regular vote: It may clog the administration, it may convulse the society; but it will be unable to execute and mask its violence under the forms of the Constitution. When a majority is included in a faction, the form of popular government on the other hand enables it to sacrifice to its ruling passion or interest, both the public good and the rights of other citizens. To secure the public good, and private rights, against the danger of such a faction, and at the same time to preserve the spirit and the form of popular government, is then the great object to which our enquiries are directed: Let me add that it is the great desideratum, by which alone this form of government can be rescued from the opprobrium under which it has so long labored, and be recommended to the esteem and adoption of mankind.
By what means is this object attainable? Evidently by one of two only. Either the existence of the same passion or interest in a majority at the same time, must be prevented; or the majority, having such co-existent passion or interest, must be rendered, by their number and local situation, unable to concert and carry into effect schemes of oppression. If the impulse and the opportunity be suffered to coincide, we well know that neither moral nor religious motives can be relied on as an adequate control. They are not found to be such on the injustice and violence of individuals, and lose their efficacy in proportion to the number combined together; that is, in proportion as their efficacy becomes needful.
From this view of the subject, it may be concluded, that a pure Democracy, by which I mean, a Society, consisting of a small number of citizens, who assemble and administer the Government in person, can admit of no cure for the mischiefs of faction. A common passion or interest will, in almost every case, be felt by a majority of the whole; a communication and concert results from the form of Government itself; and there is nothing to check the inducements to sacrifice the weaker party, or an obnoxious individual. Hence it is, that such Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives, as they have been violent in their deaths. Theoretic politicians, who have patronized this species of Government, have erroneously supposed, that by reducing mankind to a perfect equality in their political rights, they would, at the same time, be perfectly equalized and assimilated in their possessions, their opinions, and their passions.
A Republic, by which I mean a Government in which the scheme of representation takes place, opens a different prospect, and promises the cure for which we are seeking. Let us examine the points in which it varies from pure Democracy, and we shall comprehend both the nature of the cure, and the efficacy which it must derive from the Union.
The two great points of difference between a Democracy and a Republic are, first, the delegation of the Government, in the latter, to a small number of citizens elected by the rest: secondly, the greater number of citizens, and greater sphere of country, over which the latter may be extended.
The effect of the first difference is, on the one hand to refine and enlarge the public views, by passing them through the medium of a chosen body of citizens, whose wisdom may best discern the true interest of their country, and whose patriotism and love of justice, will be least likely to sacrifice it to temporary or partial considerations. Under

such a regulation, it may well happen that the public voice pronounced by the representatives of the people, will be more consonant to the public good, than if pronounced by the people themselves convened for the purpose. On the other hand, the effect may be inverted. Men of factious tempers of, local prejudices, or of sinister designs, may by intrigue, by corruption or by other means, first obtain the suffrages, and then betray the interests of the people. The question resulting is, whether small or extensive Republics are most favorable to the election of proper guardians of the public weal; and it is clearly decided in favor of the latter by two obvious considerations.
In the first place it is to be remarked that however small the Republic may be, the Representatives must be raised to a certain number, in order to guard against the cabals of a few; and that however large it may be, they must be limited to a certain number, in order to guard against the confusion of a multitude. Hence the number of Representatives in the two cases, not being in proportion to that of the Constituents, and being proportionally greatest in the small Republic, it follows, that if the proportion of fit characters, be not less, in the large than in the small Republic, the former will present a greater option, and consequently a greater probability of a fit choice.
In the next place, as each Representative will be chosen by a greater number of citizens in the large than in the small Republic, it will be more difficult for unworthy candidates to practise with success the vicious arts, by which elections are too often carried; and the suffrages of the people being more free, will be more likely to centre on men who possess the most attractive merit, and the most diffusive and established characters.
It must be confessed, that in this, as in most other cases, there is a mean, on both sides of which inconveniences will be found to lie. By enlarging too much the number of electors, you render the representative too little acquainted with all their local circumstances and lesser interests; as by reducing it too much, you render him unduly attached to these, and too little fit to comprehend and pursue great and national objects. The Federal Constitution forms a happy combination in this respect; the great and aggregate interests being referred to the national, the local and particular, to the state legislatures.
The other point of difference is, the greater number of citizens and extent of territory which may be brought within the compass of Republican, than of Democratic Government; and it is this circumstance principally which renders factious combinations less to be dreaded in the former, than in the latter. The smaller the society, the fewer probably will be the distinct parties and interests composing it; the fewer the distinct parties and interests, the more frequently will a majority be found of the same party; and the smaller the number of individuals composing a majority, and the smaller the compass within which they are placed, the more easily will they concert and execute their plans of oppression. Extend the sphere, and you take in a greater variety of parties and interests; you make it less probable that a majority of the whole will have a common motive to invade the rights of other citizens; or if such a common motive exists, it will be more difficult for all who feel it to discover their own strength, and to act in unison with each other. Besides other impediments, it may be remarked, that where there is a consciousness of unjust or dishonorable purposes, communication is always checked by distrust, in proportion to the number whose concurrence is necessary.
Hence it clearly appears, that the same advantage, which a Republic has over a Democracy, in controlling the effects of faction, is enjoyed by a large over a small Republic--is enjoyed by the Union over the States composing it. Does this advantage consist in the substitution of Representatives, whose enlightened views and virtuous sentiments render them superior to local prejudices, and to schemes of injustice? It will not be denied, that the Representation of the Union will be most likely to possess these requisite endowments. Does it consist in the greater security afforded by a greater variety of parties, against the event of any one party being able to outnumber and oppress the rest? In an equal degree does the increased variety of parties, comprised within the Union, encrease this security. Does it, in fine, consist in the greater obstacles opposed to the concert and accomplishment of the secret wishes of an unjust and interested majority? Here, again, the extent of the Union gives it the most palpable advantage.
The influence of factious leaders may kindle a flame within their particular States, but will be unable to spread a general conflagration through the other States: a religious sect, may degenerate into a political faction in a part of the Confederacy; but the variety of sects dispersed over the entire face of it, must secure the national Councils against any danger from that source: a rage for paper money, for an abolition of
debts, for an equal division of property, or for any other improper or wicked project, will be less apt to pervade the whole body of the Union, than a particular member of it; in the same proportion as such a malady is more likely to taint a particular county or district, than an entire State.
In the extent and proper structure of the Union, therefore, we behold a Republican remedy for the diseases most incident to Republican Government. And according to the degree of pleasure and pride, we feel in being Republicans, ought to be our zeal in cherishing the spirit, and supporting the character of Federalists.

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 bad 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 rag end of the rope, and open them into hemp, and if it prove to be short yarn, you may take it for granted to be Holland yarn; which is spun or short tow and refuse of the hemp, that is manufactured into sail-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. New-York, Nov. 8.

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 Ware Room 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 imposition 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. Bed Chairs for the sick having been much wanted in this city, said Burling has provided some to let. Nov. 10.

He cannot be answerable for any Milk of Roses but what he prepares himself, with his label upon the bottle; therefore Ladies cannot 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.
LIKEWISE may be had as above, SMITH's superior English white Hair Powders, Pomatum, Wash-Balls, Shaving Soaps and Boxes, Lavender Waters, Essence of Bergamot, Lemon and Lavender; Concave Razors, warranted Razor Straps, Powder Bags and Puffs, Rollers, Horn and Tortoise shell Combs, Black Pins of all kinds. Also, just imported, A beautiful assortment of LONG HAIRS, for Braids, with a variety of Ringlets, for Ladies Curls; Half Dids and Full Dids Cushions, with every other article in the Perfumery business, wholesale and Retail, and for Exportation.
A great allowance to those that buy to sell again. All Orders, from Town and Country, carefully and punctually executed. New-York, September 1; 1787.

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 shutts: 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, skillers, 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 flitting-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; mill rounds and gudgeons, saw-mill cranks, calcining plates for making pearlash, cast iron screws for pulling and paper-mills, fullers plates cast to any size that may be wanted, fash-weights, forge-hammers and anvils, plow-plates, half-hundreds, quarters, fourteen and seven pound weights; cart, wagon, coach, phaeton, chair and fufkey 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. 13. 6w

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 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 stiff 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, ruts, 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 scorbatic 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, asloaf 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 purid humours, and create a fresh and healthy complexion in such as are affected in any purid matter. The plumb is a great dietetic, cleansing the reins of urine; it expels wind, and is a sovereign medicine 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, causes a good appetite, and helps digestion. It has been found wonderfully successful to such persons as are going into chronicl distempers, as asthma, phisicks, 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 purefaction 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 an Airs. 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, holes under 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 appetite, swelled belly, knowing and biting about the stomach, frightful dreams, extreme thirsts, 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. 3w. tf.
