- being by no means the molt inconii
durable ; and instead of complaining of their being
so common in all businesses, wishes rather that they
were extended to more of,the different arts, profel
fions, wants, losses, &c. of mankind. I was so
pleased with this proposal, that I could not help
throwing the following advertisements together,
which may serve as models for some of your corres

pursue this valuable branch of public intelligence
than Your humble servant,

Doctor CUREA LL,
Hath lately1ately revived an infallible remedy for
the mod painful and odious disorders. It cures
the fevers which arise from irregular appetites of all
kinds. It stops the mortifications of pride, and de
stroys tlie acrimony of envy, and all other corroding
paflions. The above remedy is found near the walls
in the inside of old houses. It is foretimes covered
with duff. This must be carefully swept away, or
the medicine will have no efficacy.,

leaving him was because he behaved in an arbitra
