A treatise of buggs: shewing when and how they were first brought into England. How they are brought into and infect Houses. Their Nature, several Foods, Times and Manner of Spawning and Propagating in this Climate. Their great Increase accounted for, by Proof of the Numbers each Pair produce in a Season. Reasons given why all Attempts hitherto made for their Destruction have proved ineffectual. Vulgar Errors concerning them refuted. That from September to March is the best Season for their total Destruction, demonstrated by Reason, and proved by Facts. Concluding with directions for such as have them not already, how to avoid them; and for those that have them, how to destroy them. By John Southall, Maker of the Nonpareil Liquor for destroying Buggs and Nits, living at the Green Posts in the Green Walk near Faulcon-Stairs, Southwark.

In Black-fryers, at the end of the paved alley, near Bridewel-Bridge, at the Green Ball and Half Moon, liveth R.C. enquire at the red lion, next the bottom of the steps : Who will give to all people a secret how they may utterly destroy buggs, without damage to their goods at reasonable rates, do as you are taught, and if any be doubtful of the truth of it, they may have full satisfaction of them that have experienced it.
