This woman sprang into notoriety all at once. The first authentic account of her is on page 457 of the _London Magazine_ for 1836, under the date of August 2: ‘The Town has been surprized lately with the fame of a young woman at _Epsom_, who, tho’ not very regular, it is said, in her Conduct, has wrought such Cures that seem miraculous in the Bone-setting way. The Concourse of People to _Epsom_ on this occasion is incredible, and ’tis reckon’d she gets near 20 Guineas a Day, she executing what she does in a very quick Manner: She has strength enough to put in any Man’s Shoulder without any assistance; and this her strength makes the following Story the more credible. A Man came to her, sent, as ’tis supposed, by some Surgeons, on purpose to try her Skill, with his Hand bound up, and pretended his Wrist was put out, which upon Examination she found to be false; but, to be even with him for his Imposition, she gave it a Wrench, and really put it out, and bad him _go to the Fools who sent him, and get it set again_, or, if he would come to her that day month, she would do it herself. ‘This remarkable person is Daughter to one _Wallin_, a Bone-setter of _Hindon, Wilts_. Upon some family Quarrel, she left her Father, and Wander’d up and down the Country in a very miserable Manner, calling herself _Crazy Salley_. Since she became thus famous, she married one Mr. _Hill Mapp_, late servant to a Mercer on _Ludgate Hill_, who, ’tis said, soon left her, and carried off £100 of her Money.’ She was not long making her way in the world, for we read in the same magazine, under date, September 19, 1736: ‘Mrs. _Mapp_, the famous Bone-setter at _Epsom_, continues making extraordinary Cures. She has now set up an Equipage, and this Day came to _Kensington_ and waited on her Majesty.’ The _Gentleman’s Magazine_, under date of August 31, 1736, gives a similar account of her private life, adding that her husband did not stay with her above a fortnight, but adds that she was wonderfully clever in her calling, having ‘cured Persons who have been above 20 years disabled, and has given incredible Relief in most difficult cases.’ ‘Mrs. _Mapp_ the Bone-setter, with Dr. Taylor the Oculist, being present at the Playhouse in _Lincoln’s Inns Fields_, to see a Comedy call’d the Husband’s Relief, with the Female Bone-setter, and Worm Doctor; it occasioned a full House, and the following EPIGRAM. ‘While _Mapp_ to th’ Actors shew’d a kind regard, On one side _Taylor_ sat, on t’other _Ward_: When their mock Persons of the Drama came, Both _Ward_ and _Taylor_ thought it hurt their _fame_; Wonder’d how _Mapp_ cou’d in good Humour be-- _Zoons_, crys the Manly Dame, it hurts not _me_; Quacks without Arts may either blind or kill, But _Demonstration_ shews that mine is _Skill_. And the following was sung upon y^e Stage:
