Printer Philip Wood Cures Cholick Stone After Six Weeks
An account from 1727 details Philip Wood a resident of Horse-shoe Court Cock-lane near Smithfield who suffered years of severe colic pain and loss of appetite. After medicines and help from Mr Moore and Mr Wheatley he recovered from the cholick, regained appetite, and was delivered of a stone. He praises their care and prints this testimonial for others. The piece also notes a new parliamentary act regulating seamen in merchants service requiring written agreements with masters on voyages or face fines.
