placed under the supervision of a Committee of Subscribers, offers to
the industrious classes, IN ALL CASES, THE GRATUITOUS

thereby avoid the waste of pecuniary means, and the risk to life
they are sure to incur, by applying for surgical, or medical, relief to
ignorant and unprincipled quacks, and nostrum vendors.

Applicants for relict must apply at the Surgery adjoining the
filurgeon's priyato residence, 2, Chandos-street, Cayendish-square.
