The Price of, and how to take this Pill.

Note, that in and about London the Poor (who may fetch them every day, * as they use them) may buy one single Pill clos'd in a Paper box gilt with Gold, and costs but six pence, yet is a sufficient Purge for most Con∣stitutions, but, to remote parts I send only whole Boxes or half boxes of Tin, containing 6 or 3, Price three shillings, or eighteenpence, sealed with three Scallop shels on a Bend Ingrail'd, and 'tis hop'd, that none will murmure that every Pill should cost six pence. A Lark excels a Kite; And who can expect a pleasant Purge, (prescrib'd and allow'd by a Con∣sult of the most towering Judgements, and Compounded of the most costly Ingredients that Art or Nature ever yeilded) for less than six pence.

Note further, * that this Pill is so inviting to the Eye and Smell and of such easy Operation, that those who once take it bid adieu to all other Physick; and it's bulk is but as a grey Pea, and may be divided into two, ten, or twenty Pills at pleasure, and then, sure none will quarrel at their Number.

These Pills are alwaies as soft wax, * never grow dry, or decay in Page  3their Virtues, which makes them in such esteem with Sea-faring men, and in the Indies, Virginia, France, Ireland, and this Island, where the spreading Scurvy would otherwise eat up the Inhabitants.
