CHARLES PETER His Famous HEAD-PILL .

Which certainly cureth the SCURVIE , and DROPSIE , taketh away all PAINS of the HEAD , cleanseth the STOMACH , provoketh an Appetite , and helpeth Digestion : Is also a Great PRESERVATIVE to NATURE . It helpeth those that are troubled with the GOUT , is most admirable for the CHOLICK , brings away GRAVEL , and gives Ease in the STONE . It destroys WORMS in Persons of all Ages , and cureth those that are troubled with SHORTNESS of BREATH , or PAINS in the SIDE . It is most admirable for MELANCHOLY Persons , and for those that are troubled with FAINTING FITS . It not onely cures , but prevents CONVULSION and APOPLECTICK FITS . Those Persons that DRINK hard , ( most of which are troubled with SICK QUALMES and VOMITING ) I do assure all such , they will find much Benefit by my PILLS .

WOMEN that are troubled with STOPPAGES , or with FUMES arrising from the SPLEEN or WOMB , or that are subject to WEAKNESS of the BACK , are certainly relieved by these PILLS .

In a word , This PILL is a most rare Medicine in most Diseases incident to Mankind , being most proper for all Families to be provided with ; for it may be safely taken by any Person , of any Age or Constitution .

And for those Persons that use the SEAS , there is nothing so convenient as this incomparable PILL ; for One Dose , taken once in Twenty days , preserves the Body in Health : for it resists all putrefaction , and will continue good Seven years and more .

The Manner of taking these Pills is-thus . A Child of Three or Four years old may take One Pill every third day : One of Seven or Eight years old , may take One Pill every morning . A Man or Woman may begin with One Pill over-night , and Two the next morning , and may according to the strength of the Body increase the Dose to Two or Three Pills at night , and Three the next morning : Onely observe to begin with a small Dose , and so to increase it as thy strength will allow . They may be taken in a spoonful of Beer , Ale or Wine , or in a stew'd Prune , or the pulp of an Apple , although they be most easie to take by themselves ; for they are very small , and not ill tasted . They work the most pleasantly of any Physick whatsoever , opening the Pores of the Skin , and causing a breathing Sweat , if the Patient lie in Bed while they are working . They break away Wind powerfully , cause much Urine , and word gently by Stool . And as they are the most pleasant , so am I sure they are the best , and yet the cheapest Physick that can be taken ; for the PRICE of each BOX , which contains Twelve Pills , is but One Shilling .

Those that take them , may safely go abroad about their Business , and need not observe any Diet ; yet if they now and then take a Draught of warm Ale or Posset-drink , or Broth , it will help the working of them .

My PILLS are sold by the Persons following : Viz . Mr. Thomas Burrell Bookseller , at the Golden Ball under St. Dunstans Church in Fleet-street . Mr. Robert Paske Stationer , in the Piazza on the North-side of the Royal Exchange . Joe's Coffee-house , called the Blue-coat Coffee-house , in Sweetings-Alley , near the Royal Exchange .
