Remarkable 18th Century Advertisements and Remedies
A chaotic page lists medical nostrums and wares including purporting remedies by Perronet and others, cosmetic elixirs promising skin beauty, toothpicks and powders, and lead and plumbing supplies. It mentions merchants near Richbell Court, Swallowdkseet, and other London locales, with varied claims of cures and cheap goods. Public notices urge health, trade, and household improvements, while maps and curiosities are advertised at Ludgate Street and Cheapside.
