  best acknowledged infallibility, in the respective parts of the world
  they are gathered from, are on sale, by appointment, at J. de Boffe’s,
  importer of Foreign Books and Prints, No. 7, Gerard Street, Soho, and
  at Mr. Randall’s, under the Royal Exchange. Emolument is not the
  object of so useful an exertion, as to import from all parts articles
  of so eminent a virtue: but that of spreading relief, viz.:--Opiate of
  Life, most sovereign for weak and decayed stomachs, and infallible to
  all consumptive complaints, 7s. per pot of 18 doses. Golden Pill--the
  greatest specific ever known against pains in the head and eyes, a
  great restorer of lost memory, and most wonderful for giving a
  beautiful complexion; a composition of the wholesomest and scarcest
  articles, as are even not to be had in Europe, 10s. 6d. per box of 24
  pills. Danish Pills, a never-failing remedy against the gravel, 6s.
  per box of 24 pills.

  Interesting Discoveries. A liquid which will render all writings not
  legible as legible as if they had been instantly written, 10s. 6d. per
  bottle; and an Ointment which destroys bugs so as never to return, 2s.
  6d. per pot.
