Advertisements for Hat Thimbles and Viper Remedy
An old London advert salutes J Lofting’s hat thimbles made in Little Trinity Lane and markets a volatile spirit compound of the viper as a superior remedy to fainting and intemperance. Offered at coffee houses John’s in Swithin's Alley, Nando's in Fleet Street, and St James's Street for 58 per bottle, with various political and religious pamphlets advertised by Morphew and other booksellers.
