Misletoe and Medical Treatises in a 17th Century Broadsheet
A scanned advertisement page lists a threefold mix of medical books and remedies by Sir John Colbatch and G Knowles, including a 3rd edition of a misletoe cure, Materia Medica Botanica with 400 foreign plants described, and a warning about a stray gelding and a light grey nag. It also promotes a Royal beautifying fluid, a goat stone treatise, and an Anodyne Necklace, with sale and contact details across London outlets.
