A disputed public letter speaks of evasive sermon language and demands public reparation from Dr Snape, naming witnesses and requesting identification of a living man. The piece includes miscellaneous notices offering rewards for a stamp, a silver watch, a runaway lad, and a wine and cure-alls sale with advertisements for deafness drops.
A broad notice lists Mr Raleau selling peas and plaisters at multiple London venues, warning of counterfeits, then a testimonial by Jonathan Gibbs detailing prolonged back pain, alleged stone diagnosis, and a cure after using Mr Moore’s tincture of gold with antimony, dated December 2, 1716.
A late 17th century advertisement promotes multiple medical texts by Andrew Snape and others. It touts a Vindication to the Lord Bishop of Bangor, a second edition with additions on the Itch and skin disorders, warnings of dangerous mercurial cures, and a treatise on diseases of the head and nerves. Booksellers list locations in Ludgate Street, St Paul’s Churchyard, Temple Bar, and the Royal Exchange, with prices around 1s. 6d.
