Cordial for Nerves Promises Relief from Coffee Effects
An early advertisement extols a nervous cordial claimed to counteract coffee and tea aftereffects. It pledges nerve and heart support, mood lift, improved appetite, and relief from fear and melancholia. The piece lists sellers in Cornhill and Fleet Street, urges wholesale supply, and ends with a note about a runaway apprentice and a slew of contemporary literary notices.
