[Knaresborough?,
1796]
A satirical advertisement against Dr. Hutchinson, with particular reference to his "worm medicine" and "cuckoo plaster". Dr. Hutchinson was apparently a fervent supporter of the medicinal properties of Harrogate waters, and was denounced in this and other tracts for both quackery and profiteering.
Dated at end: "Worm Hall, Knaresbro', Jan. 26, 1796."
In this issue, there is a double rule under "To the faculty", and two lines of quotation, beginning: "Children at toys, as men at titles, aim;".
Turned chain lines.
