Pemberton’s Patent Rupture Cure Advertised Here
A late eighteenth century advertisement by James Pemberton markets a rupture cure claiming ease without iron or steel, promising stomach strength and general health benefits. It lists Hamp shire addresses, warns of counterfeit sellers, and describes a coach journey and a veiled health remedy sold at a Golden Pair shop near Strand. It also notes a local crime notice and a missing youth, with rewards and police cautions from Hamp shire authorities.
