A Meews-Papers Quack Advertisement on a Rheumatism Remedy
An 18th century pamphlet-like notice defends a advertised medicine as a real remedy for rheumatism. It claims the cure comes from perspiration and urine, offers routes of administration, and lists numerous witnesses and endorsers including Solomon Ashley and William Sheldon. The author, Dr Bennet, invites inquiries at Duke Street York Buildings and Tom's Coffee-house.
