MR. Vicker's the Clergy-man, who hath cured several People of the King's Evil, Liveth in Sherbourne Lane near Lambard-Street.

The Volatile Spirit of BOHEE-TEA.

The first of this Kind that ever was made in England, which hath been found the most absolute case for Consumptions, inward Wastings, and all other Decays of Nature whatsoever, incident to Mankind: Being infinitely more Balsamick, healing to the Lungs, and fattening the whole Constitution, than the common Infusion of the Leaf in Water; in so much that 15 or 20 Drops taken twice a Day in Ale, Wine, or a Dish of Bohee-Tea, sweeten'd with the finest Loaf-Sugar , shall do more Service to weak Consumptive People in one Week, than all other Restoratives whatsoever, shall do in many Months, as hath been sufficiently experienc'd from the great Quantities thereof sold to the Nobility and Gentry since its first Publication.

It's likewise's a very rich Cordial for chearing the Heart when oppress'd with Melancholy and Vapours; being also of that sovereign Use, as to give Ease and Relief in the Cholick, violent Pains of the Head, Coughs and Phtisicks , when all other Medicines have failed.

Neither is it more strange than true, that a Gentleman by taking one Bottle, voided three Ounces and a half of Gravel, which may be seen at the Place of Sale. This Spirit mix'd with Punch makes one of the most agreeable Liquors in the World; and takes of the Crudities of a cold Phlegmatick Stomach, oppressed with Wind or Water, no one Thing can be more effectual. To create an Appetite, to expel nauseous Humours offending the Stomach and to prevent Vomitings and Reachings in the Morning, there is no better Remedy in the World, of much greater Efficacy than the bitter Draught. It's likewise a special Antidote against any Infection of the Air, and if 15 Drops be taken going to Bed, in a Glass of Spring-Water, never faileth to procure a sound Sleep. A Gentleman extremely afflicted with the Gout , by taking 10 Drops of this Volatile Spirit in a Glass of Spring-Water . Morning, Noon, and Night, was wonderfully eased of his Pains and Lameness. And as this Volatile Spirit is chymically extracted from the purest and finest Tea that can be had , so is it likewise a certain Remedy in all the above mention'd Cases. Price 2 s. 6 d. the Bottle.

Note, People of an hot and feverish Constitution may take these Drops in Barley , or common Spring-Water.

Sold now only at Batson's Coffee-house against the Royal Exchange, Cornhill, and at no other Place. Sealed with Black Wax , having a double Coat of Arms, viz. Two Cinquefoils and a Bend charged with three Wheatsheaves , to prevent Counterfeits.

At Her House at the Red Ball in Queen-street, Cheapside, near the Three Cranes,

LIveth a Gentlewoman, the Daughter of an eminent Physician, who practis'd in London upwards of 40 Years . She hath an Ointment call'd the Royal Ointment for the Gout , and Rheumatick Pains, and of great Ease and Comfort to both Sexes, at Home and Abroad as hath been experience'd by many who have carry'd it with them into foreign Parts; and is therefore of excellent Use for all Travellers. Thus is the Cure compleated; as it well known to several of the Nobility and Gentry, who have experienc'd it, and are ready to testify the Truth of its wonderful Success.

She has also a certain and Infallible Cure for the Tooth-ach, without Drawing, and so effectually, that the Pain will never return again; and not only so, but makes the Teeth as white as Ivory; and fastens those that are loose to Admiration. She changes Red or Gray Hair in a few Days time, not to be distinguish'd from a natural Complexion.

Note, Remov'd from the Cheshire Cheese in Wall-brook.

For the Good of the Publick.

WHereas several Gentlewomen and others of that Sex in this Kingdom have contracted an evil Habit of Body, wherein the vicious Humours, at first dispersed through the whole, come at length to be lodg'd in one Part or another, and many times (for Causes too long to be here mentioned) are thrown down upon the Womb, occasioning a dangerous Weakness in that Part, which being neglected, at last turns cancerous, and often proves fatal. I cure the Diabetes when given over by all other Persons. This is to acquaint all such as may have occasions, that a speedy Relief is to be had from an experienced Midwife, dwelling at the Sign of the Queens Arms, a Goldsmith's Shop, near Exeter Charge in the Strand , who perform'd a Cure upon a Lady at the Bath, after she was given over by Physicians; and since has cured several Gentlewomen and others in the City and Suburbs of London.

David Povey < no role > , Remov'd from Hatton-Garden near Exeter Exchanges in the Strand, London, Operator for the Teeth, who had the Honour to clean her Late Majesty's Teeth, He sells a pleasant Dentrifice, being the same that King Charles the Second constantly used, it makes the Teeth as white as Ivory, and preserves them from Decaying: Destroying the Scurvy. He hath a Cephalick which certainly cures the Tooth-Ach in 2 Minutes Time; if the Teeth are rotten, or uneven, and full of Holes, or black Specks, he will make them smooth, even sound and white, so that no Person shall distinguish where the defect had been: He Sets in Artificial Teeth so easy, neat and firm, that they need not be removed for some Years, and they may eat with them as well as with their former, and cannot be distinguished from their Natural ones: He Sells a pleasant Water that takes all Pains and Imposthumes , or Swellings out of the Gums , and fastens loose Teeth, which several Persons of Quality know all this to be true. There are several Pretenders that put out a Powder for whitening the Teeth, and curing the Tooth-ach and Scurvey in the Gums, which I advise all Persons to beware of: For they do not know from whence any of those Distempers proceeds. But thank God I do.
