Horse racing plates and cures advertised in a Georgian notice
A sprawling 18th century newspaper fragment advertises multiple horse races at Avon near Banbury and Burton upon Trent with plates of 39 and 1901 value, entry fees, weights, and deadlines. It also promotes a patent remedy for broken wind in horses and a sale of property in Ashburton and Exeter, plus parliamentary candidate notes and a random book notice.
