Widow Welch's Pills For Female Complaints
Widow Welch's Pills are particularly serviceable to all Females from the age of 14 or 16 years and upwards; their celebrity as a tonic, and for removing all obstructions in the female system, curing what is vulgarly called the Green Sickness, have been long known. The particular nature and symptoms of female complaints are given with every box of pills, and worthy the perusal of every person who has the care of young women, as from their treatment at this early period depends the future health and comfort.
The following letter is inserted to demonstrate there efficacy:
Drayton, Nov. 29.
Sir -- Our daughter, about fifteen years of
age, had been drooping from a cause we little suspected; she was
very low in spirits, her complexion very pale, and an habitual
headache, attended with palpitations of the heart. She appeared
careless of every object, and inattentive to those pursuits to
which young persons are generally attached. In fact, we were
apprehensive that a consumption had already commenced. An
acquaintance recommended the Widow Welch's Pills, sold by you, as
a proper medicine for young women of her age, and in her
situation; we accordingly tried them, and by persevering in
taking three boxes, her spirits were invigorated, her former
complexion returned, the headache entirely removed, and she is
now completely restored to health, strength, and spirits.
Whatever use you may make of this letter, will be equally
agreeable to your obedient and humble servants,
B. & S. Armstrong.
To Mr. B. Shaw,
Purchasers must observe, the medicine sold in the name of "Kearsley"
or "Lewis", for the Widow Welch's Pills, are not the
genuine prepared by Mrs. Smithers, who is the granddaughter of
the Widow Welch, and the only person entitled to the preparation;
therefore the public will take particular care that the names of
Shaw and Edwards, No. 66 St. Paul's Church-yard, are engraved by
favour of his Majesty's Commissioners of Stamps, on every stamp
accompanying the box.
Price 2s. 9d. Per box, duty included. Sold by Mrs. Smithers'
agent, E. Edwards, 66 St. Paul's Church-yard; and also by J.
Baxter, Italian Warehouse, South Bridge, Scott, Smith, Raeburn,
Manderston, Gardiner, Mackie, and Monerieff, Edinburgh, and Reid
and Patison, Leith. (The Edinburgh Evening Courant -- July 10,
1815)
DALBY'S GENUINE CARMINATIVE
Diseases of Infants, &c.
DALBY'S GENUINE CARMINATIVE is superior to all other remedies for
the wind, purging, convulsions, and all those disorders in the
stomach and bowels of infants, which prove fatal to so many under
the age of two years. It is equally efficacious in cholics,
fluxes, and other complaints in the intestines of grown persons.
This invaluable cordial medicine is prepared by Frances Gell (assisted
by her sons), daughter of the late Mr. Joseph Dalby, apothecary,
the inventor; who bequeathed to her alone this property, under
his will, as may be seen in the bill of directions, with various
instances of its success.
Sold by F. Newberry and Sons, No. 45 St. Paul's Church-yard,
London, four doors down from Cheapside, price 1s. 9d. A bottle;
and by their agents in town and country. Observe that the words
"F. Newberry, No. 45 St. Paul's" are engraved in the
stamps; and be sure to ask for Gell's Dalby's Carminative.
Sold also by most of the respectable vendors of medicines in the
country. (The Edinburgh Evening Courant -- July 10, 1815)
PRITCHETT'S VEGETABLE VERMIFUGE
Worms Destroyed
Medicine never witnessed a more important discovery than in
Pritchett's Vegetable Vermifuge, a remedy that, contrary to all
others, neither purges, vomits, or otherwise in the least effects
the constitution; requires no confinement, has neither taste or
smell, and is so harmless that it may be taken by an infant of an
hour old; and yet never,in one instance, failed destroying every
worm in the body. It is the actual discovery of a medical
practitioner of eminence, who may be referred to by application
at the wholesale agents, and who most solemnly asserts it
contains not a particle of calomel, scammony, or other drastic
article.
Pritchett's Vegetable Vermifuge is prepared and signed by the
proprietor, D. Pritchett; and sold (in large packets, price 2s. 9D
sufficient for a full grown person, or for three small children,
or in small packets, price 1s. 1 1/8 d. Sufficient for a child),
wholesale, by Barclay and Sons, Fleet Market, London, and retail
by R. Scott, Druggist, 100 South Bridge Street, Baxter; Raeburn;
Manderston; and Smith; Edinburgh; Reid, Leith; Miller; Dunbar;
Marshall; Wilson; Berwick; Scott; Kelso; Renwick; Jedburgh;
Armstrong; Harwick; Gilmour; Glasgow. (The Edinburgh Evening
Courant -- July 10, 1815)
DR. INNES'S POWDERS
Mr. Scott has the satisfaction to inform
the Public, that, by the authority of the late Dr. Innes, the
Compound Strengthening Powders are still continued to be prepared,
and under his directions, are sold by appointment, in sealed
parcels, price 6s. (Including duty) with observations and
directions, which, to prevent imposition, are signed by Mr. Scott.
The very great benefit derived from these valuable powders, by
means of the particular mode of their preparation and composition,
renders unnecessary a more minute description of their many
salutary effects, in restoring the weak, debilitated, and nervous
constitution of the young and old, of both sexes, to health and
vigour, gradually changing the most pale and languid complexion
into a blooming and healthy appearance. It may be necessary to
state, that they are exhibited in practice by the first medical
characters in Great Britain, and may be taken, with perfect
safety, by the most delicate females, printed directions being
given with each packet of the medicine. (The Edinburgh Evening
Courant -- July 10, 1815)
COLD REMEDY
The following receipt is the famous pepper medicine for the cure of malignant influenza and sore throats; which has been found highly efficacious, and is recommended as a powerful diaphoretic, stimulant, and antiseptic. Take two table spoonfuls of small red pepper, or three of common cayenne pepper, add two of fine salt, and beat them into a paste; add half a pint of boiling water, strain off the liquor when cold, and add to it half a pint of very sharp vinegar. Give a table spoonfull every half hour as a dose for an adult, and so in proportion for younger patients. Perhaps this medicine might merit a trial in the yellow fever. (Minerva -- June 1, 1822)
This day was published, Handsomely printed
in octavo, price twelve shillings, CONSOLATION, with other poems
by the reverend William Gillespie.
O chief let comfort flow;
It is most wanted in this vale of tears;
Yes, make the widow's heart to sing for joy;
The stranger to discern the Almighty's shield
Held o'er the friendless head; the orphan child
Feel, mid his tears, I have a father still!
Grahame.
Edinburgh: Printed for Archibald Constable and Co., Edinburgh;
and Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, London. (The Edinburgh
Evening Courant -- July 10, 1815)
