Miraculous Cure Advertised for King’s Evil and Vapours
An archaic advertisement touts a universal cure for the king’s evil and eye sores, claiming rapid healing and blood purification. It markets a chemical secret that supposedly removes vapours in women, strengthens stomach and bowels, and promises counterfeits beware. Also promotes a York Buildings Lottery and an anatomy compendium with offers and notices, including rewards for identifying two deserters.
