Deceptive Cure-All Offered by Gloucestershire Healer
A dubious advert promises a cure for deafness and ear ailments from a Gloucestershire practitioner based in Fairford and nearby towns. It lists medicines claimed to restore hearing, offers free advice, and notes a coach service schedule in 1749. Multiple locations, names, and prices appear, alongside a stray note of a lost horse.
