To Mr. NORTON, Surgeon, Gol ten-Square, London.
Brockholes, near Preston, Lancashire, April, To 1781.
SIR,
IN jufticc to your Maredant's Drops, I fend you for
publication a very furprizing cure effected by them
on my fom.
About four years ago he was seized with a most violent
fever, a profufe perforation with a total loss of appetite
succeeded it, which was followed by a number of very
large fweliings upon both legs, one thigh, and on his
head, which after some timb broke and emitted a great
quantity of matter, insomuch that he was almost deprived
of the use of both his legs.
In this dangerous and emaciated condition I applied t@
several of the faculty for assistance to no purpose, and who
at last pronounced him incurable, 'till reading a newfpa+
per, I fortunately cast my eye on a case almost Similar to
that of m, fun's. I immediately determined to make trial
ofyour Drops, as the last resource, by which he ha^ ob
tain'd a perfect cure. Itis above three year* Since he dif*
continued them, and is now as found and healthy as he
was previous to his indisposition.
I am, Sir, your very humble fervent,
WILLIAM BAMBER.
Sworn before me, at Preston, the 20th
day of April, 1781.
Bartho. Devis, Mayor.
Sold by Hugh Gaine.
Tbefe Drops entirely eradicate the leprosy, the four
vy, old fores or ulcers, large blotches or boils, the evil,
fiftulas, piles, pimpled faces, long continued inflamma
tion of the eyes, billions cholic, St. Anthony's fire, feur
botic gout and rbeumatifm, and every other disorder
arising from a joulnefs of the blood. They perfect di
gestion, amazingly create an appetite, and aft as a
restorative to the most reduced constitution, They may
be taken in any season, without the least confinement,
danger of catching cold, or hindrance oj bufmefs; the
fafety with which they may be administered to children,
infants, and women during pregnancy, is an additi
onal encouragement to the timely use of them.
VENETIAN BLOOM WATER.
THIS curious Water is extracted by an elaborate
chymical process from the most fragrant flowers,
and the purest dew colle&ed in the month of May, and is
without dispute the most excellent cosmetic or beauty
waffi, ever yet difeovered ; giving to the (kin the greatest
clearness, together with the fineft wbitenefs and foftnefs
imaginable, It takes away pimples, freckles, and foots
of every kind, with all disagreeable redness, tan, or sun
burn, It renders a rough skin finely smooth, and de
stroys those minute worms which are so often lodged un
der and deform the ikin. It is possessed of such ano
rifhing quality, that it preserves from wrinkles even to
an advanced age, and in short, it so opens the pores of
the ficin, and promotes the perspiration of it, that it
gives the whole complexion, in a very short time, that
frefh, healthful and blooming appearance which it ought
naturally to have when fee from any disorder, This
admirable Water is not in the least of the nature of paint,
being of itfelf as clear and transparent as the fineft
chryftal, nor is there the fmdleft particle of Mercurys
or any other cor ofive substance in its competition, but it
is in all refpecb perfectly fafe, innocent and harmless.
Dr. James's Fever Powder.
A Few doses of this powder, taken according to the
printed directions, will remove any continual acute
fever in a few hours, though attended with convulsions,
light-hea'dednefs, and the worst fyroptoms; but if ad
ministered at the beginning of a fever, one dose will often
be fufficient to perform a cure. It is likewise a molt
effectual remedy for the small pox, measles, pleurisies,
fore throats, acute rheumatisms, St. Anthony's fire, and
all inflammatory disorders, as also for the lowness of spi
rits proceeding from flow and latent fevers. A single
d@fe will remarkably stop the progress of a cold, and cer#
thinly prevent the ill consequences of this complaint,

Bloom of Circaff a.
1T is allowed that the Circaffians are the
most beautiful Women in the World.—-
However they derive not all their Charms from
Nature. A Gentleman long resident there in
the suite of a Person of Diftinflion, well known
for his Travels thro' Greece, became acquainted
with the Secret of the Liquid Bloom, extracted
from a Vegetable, the Produce of that Country,
in general used there with the most esteemed
Beauties. It differs from all others in two
very essential Points; firft, that it inflantly
gives a Rosy Hue to the Cheeks, not to be dis
tinguished from the lively and animated Bloom
of Rural Beauty, nor will it come off by Pcr
fpiration or the Use of an Handkerchief.—A
Moment's Trial will prove that it is not to be
paralleled.
