<HEAD>A mo&s;t Safe and Effectual CURE for the RICKETS, And means to Pre&s;erve Children from the &s;ame.</HEAD>
<P>THis Di&s;ea&s;e (unknown to our Fore-fathers) being now become &s;o common that mo&s;t Children are more or le&s;s Afflicted with it, Killing many with lingering Pains, and rendering the whole lives of others uncomfortable by the &s;ad Effects, <HI>viz.</HI> Weakne&s;s, Crookedne&s;s, &s;hortne&s;s of Breath, Con|&s;umptions, and many other Infirmities which it leaves Imprinted on their tender Bo|dies, or at lea&s;t is the original occa&s;ion of, though &s;ometimes they appear not till &s;e|veral years after; and all this through want of due and Efficacious Remedies &s;ea&s;on|ably applied. I have therefore thought fit to Adverti&s;e the Parents and Friends of &s;uch Langui&s;hing Infants of a mo&s;t <HI>Soveraign Medicine,</HI> which both Cures and Pre|vents that di&s;temper, being an excellent and carefully prepared Powder of divers pow|erful Specifick Ingredients; neither loath&s;ome to the Ta&s;t, nor Purging, Vomiting, or making Children Sick that take it, but gently opens Ob&s;tructions of the Liver and Spleen, and thereby brings an equal di&s;tribution of nouri&s;hment to all the parts, and removes that &s;tupefaction of the Nerves and Arteries, wherein the Root of this Di|&s;ea&s;e mainly con&s;i&s;ts (as in that incomparable Treati&s;e <HI>De Rachitide,</HI> is judiciou&s;ly ob&s;erv'd) and thus pre&s;erves the Body from, or &s;ubdues the &s;aid Di&s;ea&s;e with all its Symptomes, by removing the cau&s;es thereof.</P>
<P>All which it performs by known and accountable Vertues, ju&s;tified as well by Rea|&s;on, as the concurrent Te&s;timony of Experience, having been a means to &s;ave the Lives and re&s;tore many Afflicted Children when all other Medicines that could be procured, prov'd ineffectual: <HI>Non opus e&s;t verbis,&mdash;Exitus Acta Probet.</HI></P>
<P>For better Conveniency to tho&s;e living at a di&s;tance, I have di&s;po&s;ed it in Papers Sealed, each containing four and Twenty Do&s;es, with Printed Directions for its u&s;e, price 2s. 6d. One of the&s;e Papers frequently performs a Cure, But where the Di|&s;ea&s;e is Inveterate, and far grown, it may require 2. or 3. at mo&s;t, nor &s;hall you fail of finding a &s;en&s;ible amendment on the fir&s;t: And as they mu&s;t be very indi&s;creet that can expect &s;uch a Chronical Di&s;temper as this can be perfectly rooted out in a day or two, or without following it with proper Medicines for &s;ome con&s;iderable time: So certainly they love Mony too much, and their Children too little, That &s;hall Refu&s;e or Repine to be&s;tow five Shillings when need is, to &s;ecure the Life, Limbs, and future health of their otherwi&s;e helple&s;s Infant.</P>
