This island my be said with some propriety to be guarded by the winds, and defended by thunder and lightning, the artillery of the heavens.
The air is healthy, and the climate temperate, and tho' perpetual tempests and hurricanes rage on the coast, yet the inland country enjoys a perfect serenity, being entirely free from any storms whatsoever.
The chief town is that of St George, containing near 1,000 houses, to the North West. Provisions are cheap and plentiful, and it abounds in fish and fruits. The Houses and shops are mostly built with Cedar, of which there still remain many beautiful groves. By all accounts Bermuda is a most agreeable island, excepting one circumstance, that to make a visit there, a man must travel in a whirlwind."
The above named Inspectors are impowered [sic] to prosecute all such Spinners as they shall find guilty of reeling false, or short Yarn; and the Yarn Makers earnestly recommend to those Persons who are instructed to put out Wool, that they be careful to ticket every Pound of Yarn with the Spinner's Name, or otherwise mark it; for in Cases of Neglect, or Design of concealing an Offender, they will be liable to answer for all Faults.
It is hoped, at the present Time, when Causes Not Within Our Reach have so materially lessened our Trade, that every Person, who knows its Importance, will assist in preventing or redressing an Evil as fatally ruinous to the Manufactory as any Circumstance which can befall it, and which, if left to itself, would in time totally annihilate every Branch of it.
N.B. If any Spinner of Worsted Yarn shall reel upon a Reel that is not Thirty-six Inches at both Ends upon the Round, or delivers less than Eighty Threads in a Lea, and seven Leas in the Skain [sic], and less than a full Skain [sic] about the Pound, will subject themselves to Prosecution in that Case as the Law directs.

The great esteem those Lozenges have acquired, having induced several persons to attempt the selling a counterfeit sort, against two of whom, viz. one a Chymist on Ludgate hill, and the other a Chymist in Oxford-street, verdicts have been obtained, in the Court of the King's Bench, with considerable damages.

GREENOUGH, Chymist and Apothecary, at No.10, on Ludgate hill, London."
Also, Mr GREENOUGH's Tinctures, for the Teeth, Scurvy in the Gums, and ToothAch [sic].
These Tinctures have been for more than thirty years past in the most universal esteem, on account of their approved efficacy, elegance and safety. The particular effects, they may be depended on to produce, are as follows, viz.
The Tincture for the Teeth and Gums will take off all foulness from the teeth, and make them beautifully white, without, in the least, injuring the enamel. Will perfectly fasten such as are loose, prevent their decaying, and entirely cure the scurvy and other disorders in the Gums, rendering the breath, at the same time, deliciously sweet.
The Tincture for the Tooth Ach [sic] will never fail giving immediate ease in the greatest agony of pain, and in a little time perfectly cure it, however violent.
....The Aromatic Tooth Water, invented by CAPPRON, Dentist to His most Christian Majesty, which not only cleanses and whitens the Teeth, but preserves the Gums, nourishes and makes them grow. It eradicates the most inveterate Scurvy, renders the Teeth that are loose and ready to fall out firm and fixed, preserves such as are found, and prevents their spoiling. This Aromatic Water has, besides, the Virtue of curing all disagreeable Smells from the Breath, which is owing to the Scurvy in the Gums, and rotten Teeth. Price 1 shilling the Bottle.
The True Eau Fleurs de Venice, or the Venetian Bloom Water. This curious Water extracted from the most fragrant Flowers, is beyond any Beauty Wash ever yet discovered, giving the Skin the greatest Whiteness and Softness imaginable. It takes away Pimples, Freckles and Spots of every Kind, with all disagreeable Redness, Tans and Sunburns. It destroys those minute Worms (Maggots) which lodge under and deform the skin. It preserves from Wrinkles even to an advanced Age, and gives to the whole Complexion, in a very short Time, that healthful and blooming Appearance which it ought to have when free from Disorders. It is not in the least of the use of Paint, being as clear and transparent as Chrystal [sic]. It is also excellent for the Eyes, strengthening and preserving the Sight. Price 3 shillings and 6 pence the Bottle, and 3 pence to be returned for every empty Bottle.
