London : Primed by J. in High-Holbcrn. 1736.

The GENEVA ASi Begins Thus.

WoHereas the Drinking of Spirituous Liquors ,

or Strong Wiiters is become very Common, efpeciallyamongPeople of the Lower , and Inferior Rank.And tends greatly to the DeJtruSlion of their Healths,Rendring them unfit for Labour, and Bufinefs, Debauching theirMorals, 15 driving them into all mannerof Vices, fa Wickednefs.And the ill Confequences offuch Liquors are not confined to the Rre-fent Generation, but extend to Future Ages, & tend to the Devafia-tion, <o Ruin of this Kingdom. For Remedy whereof Be itEnacted, Sic.

FRom thefe Words of the Aft, it Appears howSenfible the Government is of the difmal Confequences of

thefeLiquors particularly to Servants, Sc the Louver Clafsof People.Ihe Mifchiefs are incredibly Great, from only ciilpenfing thefe

Liquors at Chandlers 'Shops to (efpecially Female)Who would be afhamed to go to a Publick Brandy Shop, or Ale-

Houfe,becaufe itwouldappear At Once for what they went'Thither.

But a Chandler s fo many Neceflaries for aFamily,that THERE they can refort Unfufpe&ed, & Indulge tliemfelves.

All the little Secrets of Private Families are HERE di-vulged ; Grievances Aggravated, Complaints Encouraged, Difobe-dience propagated, Gojfiping promoted, & New Acquaintances withServants of other Families are got over thefe Pernicious Liquors.

Lefs Weights, and Meafures, and Extravagant Prices are hereConnived at for a Little Paultry Treat of Strong Waters, See.

And the Mifchief of thefe Liquors to Future Ages Alreadyappears by thofe Shrivel!d„ Little, Half-Burnt, Weak, Unhealthy ,

GIN-MADE Children, which fo abound in the World. Again;What a fad Sight is it to fee inFamilies, inflead of a Table

that Ihould be Fill’d with Healthy, Ruddy-Complexion'd ChildrenRound it. Sc good ALE, & a Loaf handed about. You fee a SideBoard adorned with UNNECESSARY China Ware, for thatEXPENSIVE NOTHING fas a Great Phyfician calls it/TEA,

Whole fo ImmoderateUfe, ns of Late Years has been, is agreater Enemy than People imagine, efpecially to WOMEN-Kind;

And ’tis THEY that Drink it Mofi, and fuffer Moji by it.It Impoverifhing theirBlood, Spirits, and Wfhoie Conftitutions,

, And making them Bring Poor, Puny, Starv'd, Sickly, Pale Look-ing, HALF-MADE, Weakly, TEA-BEGOTTEN Children intothe World, inflead of thofe Strong, Healthy Infants our Great,Great Grand-Mothers formerly Prefented their Husbands with,before the IMMODERATE prinking of TEA came in Fafhion.

For, Women being Naturally of a Lefs Degree of Vigour,and Strength than Men, ought not to Lower, and Impoverifh{fill more and more their Blood, Spirits, & Strength, by fuch anEMfO VEiLI£HE-R of theBlood, Sc Spirits, as in Reality TEA is.

Of which an Honeft Countryman had no very Wrong Notion,Who, being Asked his Opinion of TEA, Anfwcred, that

By his TROTH He thought it ABOVE HALF WATER,And This ’tis that Hooks in a DRAM after it, to Vrevent the

Cholick,becaufe ALL its Goodnefsis its being Wet,Warm ,& Sweet.For, Soak a Toaji in Tea , inllead of Good Ale,

& fee what Goodnejsthere’s in it. So that the Prefent FEEBLE, Sickly, Weak Race ofMankind, Di mini(bed in its Size, Strength, & Vigour from our An-cefcors, is (to Speak the Truth) Owipg more than People imagine,to WOMEN’S Drinking fo very MUCH of TEA as they do.

And till they Drink LESS, theBreed will Never be Mended.But to Return to our Suhjeft of Diftilfd Spirituous Liquors.In One Corner of the Room is a Weak Child or two,

troubled with Nervous Diforders, transmitted to them from theirDRAM-Drinking Parents. In Another Part of thegood Man and his Wife in their Arm’d Chairs, afflicted withthe Cholick, and for which a DRAM is their only Refuge.

In the Center of the Side-Board Hands a (DeftrutTive) Bowlfor thatPernicious Mixture (as Dr. Cheyne calls itJ PUNCH,in which the Slavs Poifon of Spirituous Liquors is only Difguifed.

For,’Tis an undoubted Truth, that let DiJUltd SpirituousLiquors be never fo Artfully Difguifed, they will Hill conveyFIRE into the Blood. And therefore. Next to Drams (fays Hr.Cheyne, EJjfay on Health) NO Liquor DESTROYS MorePeople , than PUNCFI, the Drinkers of which experience MOREPaljies, Convuljions, & Nervous Diftempers, than ever Knownbefore that SLOW-POISON-Mixture, PUNCH, came up.

It having the Same Pernicious Effects on the Drinkers of it,only Slower, that Dry Drams have, which are to BURN, &

Shrivel up the Liver, Lungs, Sc Stomach, to Thicken, Coagulate,

and Vitiate the Blood, to Scorch, Contrail, and Straiten theNerves, and Tender Fibres of the Body, from whence proceedthofe Numerous Difeafes, particularly Nervous ones, that theDrinkers of Drams, and PUNCH fo continually experience.

And when the Tender Coats of the Stomach are thus Scorch'd,and Shrivelled up, the Appetite to Eating Naturally Decays.

Becaufe, Thefe Liquors only feem at firft to Comfort, andWarm the Stomach, by contracting (with their Scorching Heat)the Loofe Flabby Fibres of it. But this Warmth foon Decay-ing, the Tone of the Stomach as foon grows again Weak,Flabby, and Difpirited, which Indifpofition naturally makes thefeUnhappy Wretches ever Thirfting after more of thefe Liquors.

What a miferable Thing it is to fee daily, thofe Crowds of,Poor, Ragged, Defpicable Wretches, Qur/ing, and DAMNINGThemfdves in the moll Shocking Abominable Manner, (& which-moft Abominable Expreffion of DAMNING THEMSELVESis Moji Familiar to them of Any ) over thefe Deftruftivs Liquors,.

Which by Inflaming the Blood, Sc PaJJlons, throw them Head-long into that Deluge of Abominable Swearing, Ctirjhg, andDAMNING THEMSELVES, fo Common in theWorld,as iftheyeven WANTED HELL to Swallow them up Alive On the Spot.

We fee Retailers of thefe Pernicious Liquors in every Corner,Endeavouring by all poffible Art ,

& Skill, to make Drunkennefsthe Cheapeji of all Vices to the Lower Clafs of People.

For Now, The DilHllers Art, (which may juftly be called AMafler-Peece of the DEVIL J has put Drunkenefs within the

Reach of Poverty, by Making thefe Liquors fo very CHEAP.Since then Thefe, and Many Other Great Evils from Spirituous

Liquors, have cauled the Late Aft of Parliament again!! them,A New DRAM, and a New PUNCH far im re Wholefame. Sc

Pleafant than Any with Diftill’d Liquors, is proposed as Follows*Squeefe 4 Seville-Oranges (or 2 Oranges, and 2

Lemons, as you like beft) into a Shuart of Fair Water, Sweetenit with Fine Sugar to your hiking, and then Put to it a Pint ofSack, to be Drank as>PUNCH. Or Bottled, and uled as a Dram.

And a moll Delicate, Fine, Pleafant, & Wholefome Liquor it is.The Reafon why Canary Wine is BEST for this Ne; Punch,

and Dram is Becaufe, Of ALL Wines, None contains MoreSPIRIT than Sack, as plainly appears by far More Ounces ofa moll High Exalted Spirit being by Chymiilry Drawn fromonly a Small Quantity of Sack, than from ANY OtherWine.

And THIS kis, that makes Canary Wine the Only NEXT(Undiflill'd) Liquor, that Can Supply Spirituous Liquors inPunch.

This New PUNC H is not only Vaftly Pleafant, but is farmore WHULESO M E than Punch made of any Diftill’dInflaming Liquors, which by their HEA F, Parch, & Shrivel upthe Coats of the Stomach, Burn the Lungs , and Deilroy bytheir Violent Burning the Friendly Natural Warmth within us.

And fo become the Ruin of the Ccnftltution, which makesPhyflcians call Spirituous D'fill'd Liquors a SLOW-POISON-

And as. Whenever Sack is Adulterated, it is by having Brandy,and Spirits mixed with it, So the MORE it is Adulterated,and confequemly the WORSE the Sack is according to theCommon Eftimation, the BETTER by far it is for This Ufe,having the MORE of the Brandy, Sc Strong Spirits in it.

And fuch Adulterated Canary Wines are had at a Cheap Rate.Nor is the Repeal of this Aft Ever to be Imagin’d, BecaufeSince Pure Confcience, Sc a Deep Concern for the Health, and

Welfare of the Nation, has been the ONLY Motive for it.No Wor'dly Intereft will Ever Repeal fo Pious, and Re~

Hgdms an Aft in a Chriftian Country, where a King confultsit.-:: REAL Good of his People. It being an ACT moil cer-: ' ■ Me Mod Becoming a ChrHUan Country that CAN be.

TheTravels of A SHILLING.

AS in P’s Days Inanimate ‘Thingswere made to Speak, So Here a SHILLING is In-troduced giving the Following .Account of it Seif.I was Born (laid the Shilling) in America, and

brought over in an Ingot by Sir Walter Raavlergh to England,in the Year 1586. I was Icon after my Arrival taken out ofmy Indian Habit, Refined, Naturalized, and put into theBritijh Mode, with the Face of Elizabeth on One Side,and the Arms of the Country on-the Other.

Being thus Equ.pped, I found in my felf a WonderfulInclination to Ramble, and the People fo much favouredthis my Natural Difpofition, by Shifting me fo Fall from Handto Hand, that before I was Three Years Old, I had Travel-led into almoft every Corner of the Nation.

In my 4th Year, I fell into the Hands of a miferable OldFellow, who (to my unfpeakable Grief) clapt me into anIron Cheft, where I found 500 more of my own Quality un-der the fame Confinement, and the only Comfort we had,was to be Counted over in the Frejh Air Every Morning.

After an Tmprifonmeht here of fome time, we heard fomeBody knocking at our Cheft, and Breaking it open with a

This we found was the Old Man’s Heir, who asfoon as ever his Father Expired, was fo good as to come toour Releafe. He feparated us that very Day, and what wasthe Fate of my Companions, I know not.

As for My Self I was given to the Parifh-Searchers, (TnvcOld For[noth s J who Pawn'd me in their Way Home for aQuartern of Brandy, and Drank me out the next Day.

From this Brandy Shop, I made my Way merrily thro’ theWorld (for We Shillings love nothing fo much as Travelling)

And in my Progrefs was Arrefied by a Superfitious OldWoman, who fhut me up Some Time in a Greafy Old LeatherPurfe, in purfuance of a Saying, that Whilft fhe Kept a EhgeenElizabeth's ShiIline, the famild never be without Mrnev.

After this I Rambled from Pocket to Pocket tillthe Civil Wars, when I was Employed in Railing Soldiers:

For being of a very Tempting Breadth, a Serjeant madelife of me to Inveigle Young Country Fellows, & Lilt them.

And as foon as he had made One Man Sure, his Way wasto oblige him to take a Shilling of a more homely Figure,and then to Pra&ice the Same Trick upon Another.

Thus I was Employed for feme time, till one Morning, mySerjeant made life of me to Seduce a Milk-Maid; The WenchBent me, and gave me to her Sweet-Heart- applying withme the uluai Form of To' my Lime, and From my Love.

The Fellow Drank me out at an Ale-houle, where I wasbeatfcn flat with a Hammer, and again let a Going.

From this Aie-houfe I Travell’d from Hand to Hand, till theLong Parliament new Cloathed ME, and ibme Few moreof us, and made- us Wear a Monftrous Pair of Breeches.

In this odd Drefs, I looked rather like a Medal than a Coin,For which Reafon a Gamcfter laid hold of me, and

converted me to a Counter, having got fome Dozens of us forthat' Ufe. We led a Melancholy Life in his PojJ'effion, beingfeuly at thole Hours wherein Current Coin is at Reft:

But at length I had the good Luck to fee my MailerBreak;By which Means 1 was again let Abroad under my Primitive

Denomination of a SHILLING, and was Sent to a YoungSpendthrift, in Company with the Will of his Deceafed Father.

The Young Spark finding himfelf Cut off from a fineDilate by my being made a Prelent to him, was in fuch aPafiion, that he moft heartily Curled me, and Squirred meaway from him, as Far as he could Fling me.

I chanced to light under a dead Wall, where a Poor Cava-lier call his Eye upon me, and to his great Joy took me up.Carried me to a Cook’s Shop, and Comfortably Dined on me.

Thus 1 Rambled till K. William's Reign, When an Artiftwith'an Unmerciful Pair of Sheers Gut my Titles, Clipped myCri-m?, and Retrenched my Shape to my Inmoft Ring,

Being thus Curtailed, and Disfigured, I fliould have beenAfhamed to have fhewn my Head, had not moft of my oldAcquaintance been reduced to the fame Blameful Figure.-—For

Solamen Miferis, Socios hahuijfe Doloris. Sen.In the midft of this general Calamity, we were all Called

in, and thrown into the Furnace, and (as it often happenswith Cities rifing out of a Fire) appeared with greater Beauty,by having a Face Once more Stampt upon us.

In this New Drefs, I came into the Hands of the late Dr.Ratcliffe , who employed me on the following Occafion.

The Doftor being forely troubled with a vexatious Corn,had the Curiofuy to let a certain Itinerant Corn Dodlor (thatCried his Trade in the Streets, Corns to Cure) lay his Two-Penny Plaifter on his Corn, for which the Doftor generouflyoffering ME to him, the Corn Dollar as generoufly excufedAccepting of me with the Following Compliment, Sir,WE DOCTORS never Take Money of one another.

Upon which, The Dr. call’d him Rafcal, Sc bid him be gone.After this, my Employment was very much in going of

ERRANDS : Sometimes I Fetch t a Play-Book, Sometimes aPint of Wine, & Often (what is call’d) a Dozen of Beer.

In Bargains I was given as an Earneft. At Chriftmas to a Box'.Now and then I accompanied a Sub Poena, Frequently I

went to a Juftice for a Warrant, and often had the Satisfactionto Treat a Fempler at a Twelve Penny Ordnary. Or Carryhim, and Three Friends in a Coach to IVeftminfer.Hall.

Innumerable are the times that I have been lent for a Packof Cards', Very often for Twelve-Penny-worth of Offers,

And Frequently given after Dinner to a Waiting Servant.During Summer Seafons 1 often Treated People with Cakes

and Ale in the Fields, Or Regaled forae Journeyman Taylorswith Eight and Forty Morfels at a Farthing Pye-Hdufe.

After this I Tea-veiled from Hand to Hand to the Bath.where a Gentleman Chalked me in a Tello-w Li-very , designing'me for'a Prelent to his God-Child, but, having brought meto London, his Pocket was Piokt of me in FFvfrcet.

~

The Perfon that had me, thinking they had got a Guinea,went to Put me off as Such, but being difcovered, I was (tohinder my travelling in any hich Capacity) Cut in Two, andmy Owner Sold me at the Mint lor Eleven Pence.

Here I was again thrown into the Furnace, from whence Tappeared A New, with the Bull of King G'EORGE the Hd.

And I am again as Ready now to Lift Soldiers (if needfhouid be) Or Carry any Perfon a Mile in a Hackney Coach,

Or Fetch a Warrant, a Pint of Wine, or a Pack of Cards,Or Go of Any other Twelve-Penny Errand, as Ever.In this New Drefs I was carried to Holland, where I was

much vexed to be Changed for 11 Paultry Dutch Stuyvers.But the Perfon that took me carrying me to Dublin, I there

had the Joy to fee my felf valued at Thirteen Pence.I happily came again to England, and was Paid at Harrold inBedfordjhire, to one Mr. HULL a Ciockmaker in that Town.Mr. HULL coming to London, Bought with ME, and Four

more of my own Rank an ANODYNE NECKLACE,Of Whole Succefs, he lent the Following Account.

HEaring the FAME of theANODYNE NECKLACE, Ap-proved of by Dr. Chamberlen forI Children's Teeth, and having Buried two

1Children who Died with the hard Breeding,and Cutting of their Teeth, I made it myBufenefs to Come to London to Buy one, 1having a Child at the Point of Death with

it's TEETH. So foon as the Necklace voas on his Neck ,

I hhiickly found him. grove Better, his Fever, and Thirfi lefthim, & be has Never been ill fen.e, & has Cut ALL his Teethwith a deal of Eafe, and Safety, & is no<w a fine Healthy Child.

This 1 defire may be Bublijh'd for the Good of Suffering ln~fants. Thinking my felf obliged thus to do.
