Remarkable Efficacy of Tilbury Water Promoted by Ellison
In May 1785 a coachmaker from Moorfields informed Ellison that Mrs Nath, wife of Mr Ethifuny Nath, had a remarkable cure from Tilbury Water after trials linked to Mrs Brows’s case. Nath recounted years of violent diarrhoea and weakness cured in months, praising Tilbury Water and warning against inferior imitations sold as Tilbury Alterative Water. The bottles bear Ellison’s name and West Tilbury Hall. The water is sold by Joan Exison at St Albans Street Pall Mall and near Red-Law Street Whitechapel with sprays of American spruce essence.
