John Sebastian Stephany, chymist, has for sale for cash, a
new and ingenious clock work, just imported from Germany,
and made there by one of the most ingenious and celebrated
clock-makers in Germany: It plays nine different selected
musical tunes, and every one as exact as can be done on the
best musical instrument; and changes its musick every hour. 
It is done with 11 clocks and 22 hammers.  It has an
ingenious striking-work for every hour, and quarter of an
hour; it repeats 8 days, hours and minutes, and shows the
months, and the days of the month.
