Felony notices and medical elixir advertisements from Hungerford era
In Hungerford a broad public notice offers a five guinea reward plus ten pounds for the capture of John Wild and Joseph Marten for sheep stealing and related felonies, with a potential hundred guineas for convicting any who helped them. The item also runs dense ads for Bardana elixirs and Key’s Antiscorbutic Fluid, praising cures and detailing sale locations and benefits.
