ALL INTREPID ABLE-BODIED HEROS

Who are willing to serve His MAJESTY KING GEORGE the Third, In Defence of their Country, Laws, and Constitution, against the arbitrary Ursurpations of a tyrannical Congress, have not only the Opportunity of manifesting their Spirit, by assisting in reducing to Obedience their too-long deluded Countrymen, but also of acquiring the Polite Accomplishments of a Soldier, by serving only two Years, or during the present rebellion in America.

Such spirited Fellows, who are willing to engage, will be rewarded at the End of the War, besides their Laurels, with 50 acres of Land, where every gallant HERO may retire, and enjoy his Bottle and Lass. Each Volunteer will receive as a Bounty, Five Dollars, by applying to Lieut. John Doxstader. An additional Bounty will be rewarded for every scalp brought before this respectful officer.
