Public notice of Dr Bateman’s Drops cures and counterfeit bans
A 1775 Edinburgh notice details cures by Dr Bateman’s Pectoral Drops and lists many names of cured individuals. It warns against counterfeit preparations by Dicey and Okell, naming solicitors, merchants, and towns, and offers a £50 reward for information leading to convictions. The ad cites royal patent backing and urges buying only genuine drops from specified traders.
