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 dispers'd thro' 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 occasion, that a speedy Relief is to be had from an Experienc'd Midwife, dwelling at the Sign of the Queen's Arms, a Gold Smith's Shop, near Exeter Exchange in the Strand, who perform'd a Care upon a Lady at the Bath, after she was given over by the Physicians, and since has Cured several Gentlewomen and others in the City and Suburbs of London.

At Her House, the Red Ball in Queen-Street, Cheapside, over against the Globe, 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 Goat and Rheumatick Pains, giving great Ease and Comfort to both Sexes, at Home or Abroad, (as has been experienc'd by many that have carried it with'em into Foreign Parts, therefore of excellent use for all Travellers) and compleats the Cure; as is well known to several of the Nobility and Gentry, who have used it, and are ready to testifie the Truth of its wonderful Success. She hath 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, fastening those that are loose to Admiration. She likewise alters Red or Grey Hair, making it of a delicate light or dark Brown, which will never change. Her Hours are from 8 in the Morning till 12, and from 2 to 6.
