Dr. Lowther'sNervous Powders and Drops.
Epilectic Fits radically cured by the above Medicines, as ascertained by numerous patients upwards of twenty years, and is evident in the present case of Sally Tyler, who was afflicted many months with violent fits, frequently invading twice a day, with terrible distortion of features, and strong convulsions, required many people to manage her in the parosysm; hence ensued great lowness of spirits, horrors, tremors, startings, restless nights, loss of appetite, and many other disagreeable symptoms, from which she is now entirely relieved, and restored to perfect health. This extraordinary cure, performed by Dr. Hinde, will be authenticated, on application to Mr. Wybourne, at the Pewter Platter, Charles-street, Hatton-garden, where the person resides.
These medicines are prepared and sold by the partner, Dr. Hinde, at his house, No. 10, Hatton-street, where he attends every day (Sunday excepted) from ten in the morning to four in the afternoon, to give his advice gratis, in nervous complaints; sold also by Mr. Cook, bookseller, Paternoster-row; and at Mr. Vincent's, perfumer, Bond-street.
Sold at his house only, Compound Essence of Quick Lime, a most sovereign remedy for the Dropsy and Gravel.
