Water-Theatre show and a Lent of cures in 1712 era notices
An old newspaper fragment advertises the Water-Theatre show with two Flying Boys and a Neptune’s Trident act, priced 2s 6d to 6d, at Pickadilly near the windmill. It also promotes Susanna the physician offering cures for ulcers and leprosy with pills and drinks, free advice, and a long list of contemporaneous pamphlet releases and books for sale in 1712, including infant law and royal speeches.
