Ancient Patent Remedy and Bible Subscription Notice
An old advertisement mix lists TinBuru-Amara-Stomatica as a bitter stomach cordial with claims of easing digestion and restoring appetite, priced 2s 6d, sold by Colston and Raw at Royal Exchange locations. It also notes Bible and Common Prayer Welch editions for subscribers, with payment on delivery via John Williams. The notice covers insurance, a quarterly meeting of The Sum Five Office, and a land sale near Catlingroe in Cornwall, plus a described silver-hilted sword reward for recovery in Cambridge or London.
