At the Blew-Ball in little Kerby Street in Hatton Garden in Holborn liveth a Gentlewoman ,

WHo ( without making any preambles how or from whence she gain'd her Art ) is willing to tell the World in few words , that ( through the blessing of God ) she is to a wonder successful in working a speedy cure on those that have either Rickets , or Deafness , as many both rich and poor can truly witness . She has a Searcloath , which hath been highly approv'd by several , for taking away all manner of Pains and Aches , and is so excellent for Sore eyes in general , that nothing curable can come amiss to her ; she has also a safe and certain way of curing Agues by an outward application ; with several other things , which she thinks not altogether convenient to be mention'd in this paper .

This Gentlewoman hath likewise a most Excellent and Wonderful Art to make the Hair grow wherever it be wanting , though there had been none before ( as she hath already done to the admiration of several . )

She hath likewise an incomparable Wash for the Face that takes out Freckles , all sorts of Spots , red or yellow , with a great Secret to smooth , the face though never so full of Wrinkles , she makes them look equally Fair and Smooth to the youngest , especially those that have have been lately prejudic'd by the Smal-Pox . She likewise hath a Water that takes all sorts of Worms out of the face ; She sells a very Fine Powder for the Teeth , and hath also an Excellent Art to make the Hands white smooth , and soft , with a sweet Salve to make the lips soft and ruddy .

This same Gentlewoman is always ready to give an answer to any reasonable question that shall be askt her , of what kind soever it be , whether of things past , things now depending , or things to come .

She is to be spoken with at her House above mention'd from 9. in the morning till at 9. night , where she hopes to satisfie all that comes to her .

By Allowance .

They give great Relief in Hypoohondraick Melancholy , for they open Obstructions of the Spreen , evacuate adust Melancholy Humours from the Stomach amend the Distemper of the Bowels , and strengthen the Vital Part● , thereby preventing the Passions of the Mind , as Grief , Anger , Melancholy , Peevishntss , &c.

They perfectly Cure the Jaundice , a Distemper arising from the evil disposition of the Liver , and Obstructions of the Gall , hindring the separation of the Cholerick humours from the Blood , which Nature striving to cast out , cause the yellowness of the Skin .

The Green Sickness is a Disease arising from the Obstructions of the Veins about the Womb , Liver , Spleen and Mesentery , causing various Symptomes in young Women , the course of Nature being stopt , producing a Cachexie or evil h●bit of the Body , alters the Complexion , sending ill Vapours to the Brain , causeth a Loathing of Meats that are good , occasion swellings in the Belly and Legs , with unwillingness to exercise , attended sometimes with difficulty of Breathing , and universally indispose the Body , so that most Distempers incident to Women may arise from it , by taking some Doses of my pills you may have a perfect Cure in a short time , ( with the Blessing of God ) as many can testifie .

☜ I have Cured hundreds of Deafness with these Pills , when no other Physick , nor Manual Operation could perform it ; and certainly they are most excellent for all Distempers in the Head , whether primary or by consent , as inveterate Headaches , Phrensies , Giddiness , Convulsions , Apoplexies and Stupefactions ; for they wonderfully strongthen the Brain and Memory .

It is a certain and speedy Remedy which never fails in the Wind-cholick , oft●imes giving ease in two houres beyond expectation , and is an excellent Stomach-pill , causing good digestion , curing defluxions of sharp humours , as Catarrhs and tickling Coughs , Killing Wormes of all sorts in old or young , giving speedy ease to Sharpness of Urine , the Running of the Reins , curing all Surfeits got by drinking , or otherwise , assisting much toward the Curing of old Ulcers in the Legs , or any swellings whatever , and is very proper to be taken after any Fit of Sickness , to prevent a Relapse ; ☜ And is very necessary to be taken to prepare the Body ; As likewise after the Drinking of Tunbridge , Epsom , Dullage water , &c. to carry off those earthly Impurities which may remain in the Body , for they gently purge off all offending humours , sweetning the Blood , and strengthning the Noble parts , enabling them to stand , without decaying old Age .

These pills are Sealed up in Tin boxes , the price of the half Box containing twelve pills is one shilling six pence , and the whole Box containing four and twenty pills is three shillings with Directions , and are sold by the Author at the blew Ball in Haydon-yard in the Minories , and at Mr. Benjamin Harris's at the Stationers Armes in the Piazza under the Royal Exchange in Cornhill , and at no other places .

☜ This pill is free from Mercury , and if any person hath been damnified by it , this Noble pill carrieth off whatever poisonous quality it hath left in the Body .
