Rare ailments and patent cures in an eighteenth century catalog
An early modern catalog advertises subscriptions for antique volumes and a set of medical remedies. It lists the Nicolai Triveti continuation, Bolton’s Speculum, and Hall’s editing, with subscription money due. It touts an infallible remedy for broken winded horses, a distant treatment by Mr. Fern, a miraculous Elixir for the palsy, and vasodilating chemical drops for rheumatism, all sold at named London outlets with prices and delivery details.
