Miraculous Therapies and Auction Notices at Radford’s Toy Shop
A fragment from a 18th century page describes remedies for impotence and general debility sold at Mr. Radford’s Toy Shop near Rose and Crown in the Strand, with prices and directions, plus notices of household goods and other items to be sold by auction at St James's Street and other locations. It also lists potential runaway servants and a public appeal offering rewards for return. The text includes patent medicine claims and details of sales, residually noting addresses around Covent Garden, Leicester Square, and the Savoy.
