Fragmented 18th Century Patent Remedy and War Treasure Notice
An early advertisement offers a dubious tonic claim to cure barrenness and imbecility by altering bodily humours and invigorating the spirits. It announces sale at a Strand toy shop and a Rose and Crown, with a reward for returning missing soldiers from Colonel Aostrother’s regiment. Details name multiple men, their ages and descriptions, and list a bounty paid by Edmund Strudwick at Covent Garden.
