Medicine Ads August-September 1813 Universal Advertising Sheet From La Belle Assemblee. August 1, 1813 To Mrs. Johnson, 94 Newman Street. Madam.—Having experienced the good effect of your invaluable MEDICINE for CHILDREN while Teething, I take this opportunity for the good of others.—Being a Father, can judge what parents feel when their dear little innocents suffer, without a possibility of affording them the least relief: but thank God, that is happily removed, since you have introduced the AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP. Having experienced the good effect with two of my Children, can speak with confidence:--the first was very ill, and had fits with cutting his back teeth; we no sooner rubbed the child’s gums, than he got better, and his teeth came through without any more pain or convulsion.—The other little darling was so extremely weak, that it was distressing to see him:--not thinking it was his teeth, did not apply the Syrup, until a thought struck my wife, that she would try the Syrup, as it might be teeth. No sooner were his gums rubbed than he began to mend, and in less than a week, no one would have thought it was the same child, and continued cutting his teeth without pain. It being impossible to describe the state they were in, shall be happy to satisfy any Lady, which may have a child in the same way, by calling at my house, No. 69, Margaret-street, Cavendish-square. If I should be blessed with any more children, will always begin to apply the Syrup in time, and am, Madam, yours respectfully, Mercer May 10, 1813 To be had of the Proprietors, Johnson and Williams, No. 94, Newman-street, Oxford-street; and by their appointment, of Sutton, Bow Church-yard; Wade and Tate, Cornhill; and by all the principal Medicine Venders in town and country, at 2s. 9d. a bottle. Caution:--Be sure to ask for Johnson and William’s American Soothing Syrup, as there are several spurious sorts. N.B. Mrs. Johnson relieves the Infant Poor, as usual, at her house every Thursday and Saturday morning, from nine to ten o’clock, by bringing a letter from a respectable housekeeper, to certify that they are real objects of charity. Analeptic Pills and Fever Powder. The Analeptic Pills of the late Dr. James, the virtues of which, are too well known to need being enumerated here, may be had warranted truly genuine, of B. Perrin, Chemist, 23 Southampton-street, Covent-garden, in Boxes, Price 2s 9d. each. Where also may be had, equally genuine, his FEVER POWDER, in packets, 1s 9d. each, good allowance on both to Practitioners as well as Vendors:--Also his much esteemed Lavender water, 3s the Bottle, equal to any in London, although Sold at a much higher price. Hill’s Cambrian Dentifrice. Its inestimable properties for cleansing, whitening and preserving the Teeth &c. is such as not to be equaled. The constant use of HILL’S CAMBRIAN DENTIFRICE will preserve the Teeth from decay, render them beautifully white, fasten those which are loose, prevent their aching, and by its singular properties eradicates the scurvy from the Gums, without injuring the most delicate enamel—To enter at large into its intrinsic worth would exceed the limits of an advertisement, suffice it to say, that a single trial has uniformly decided its superiority (nor is it likely that we shall look upon its like again) for the Teeth. Sold in Boxes, 2s 6d each, duty included. Hill’s Lavender Troches. This elegant and convenient Preparation (having met with the approbation of several professional Gentlemen) is a powerful stimulant and corroborant of the nervous system, and of considerable efficacy for depression of spirits, tremors, weakness of the nerves, &c.—Sold in Boxes, 1s. 1 ˝ d. and 2s 6d. each, duty included. Prepared only and sold by Thomas Hill, Chemist, &c. at the African and Mortar, No. 37, High-street, Shoreditch, whose signature is on each bill of direction, in his own hand writing, to imitate which is felony.—Sold wholesale by Evans and Son, No. 42, Long-lane, West Smithfield; and retail at most Druggists, Perfumers, and Medicine Venders in the United Kingdom. September 1813 Autumnal Bowel Complaints Improved Tincture of Columbo Root, Sanctioned by the first medical talents, as a superior remedy in those complaints of the stomach and bowels which are caused by corrupt or accumulated bile, and which so much prevail at this season. Its powers in restoring the tone of the stomach and bowels, and as a corrector of acrimonious bile, and in alleviating the usual disorders occasioned by bile, as nausea, a languid state of the stomach, nervous, sick headaches, restlessness of mind, want of appetite, are well described by the late Doctor Perceval in his celebrated treatise on this root; as well as its great powers in violent bilious vomitings and looseness, and particularly when the stools are streaked with blood. It alleviates the sickness and vomiting occasioned by pregnancy, and the vomiting and looseness which the acute pain of teething causes to infants.—A prospectus, briefly describing its efficacy and medical character may be had gratis, at Lewis’s Warehouse, No. 14, Charles-street, Covent-garden, where it is sold for 7s a bottle, or three bottles for1 pound.; by Randall, Royal Exchange; Ward, Holborn; Hawkins, Old Bond-street; and by Barry, Bridge-street, Westminster.
