Visionary claims of ocular cures and auctions in Bath and London
The fragmentary notice lists extraordinary eye cure promises by famed painter Signor Vario and a mysterious Ophthalmic secret, then shifts to a Cardiff gauntlet match for 5 guineas and 390 graings, a Bath house for rent, and a posted reward for a 14 hand mare with a bald face. It ends with four London houses to let at Pero's Bagio in St James's Street.
