Observations on the Causes, Symptoms, and Nature of Scrofula or King's Evil, Scurvy, and Cancer: With Cases Illustrative of a Peculiar Mode of Treatment
Kent, John
Cancer; Scrofula; Scurvy
Have now been before the public a period of fourteen years, after ten
years' experience in private practice, of their salutary effect in a
variety of instances; and their increasing demand unquestionably
proves their superior efficacy in rousing the action of the liver, and
cleansing the stomach of slime and acid matter. The proprietors offer
them in full confidence that they will generally answer the purpose
for which they are intended, and be found an excellent remedy in all
obstructions of the bowels and disorders of the stomach, arising
either from a redundancy of bile, or a deficiency of that important
secretion; from flatulency, indigestion, or cold. In the sick
head-ache, the speedy relief they give is wonderful; and they are
particularly calculated to strengthen the digestive organs. They
promote the powers of digestion, create appetite, disperse flatulence
in the stomach and bowels, and in a little time remove all the painful
effects of crudities, indigestion, and habitual costiveness. They are
gentle, but safe and certain in their operation, offering no
impediment to business, and are not liable to leave any disposition to
costiveness. The proprietors pledge themselves that the pills do not
contain a single particle of mercury, antimony, or any other mineral,
but that their composition is _purely vegetable_.
The pills are prepared only, and sold by the sole Inventors and
Proprietors, at their own house in Stanton, in Suffolk, in boxes 1s.
1d., each, duty included; and by the following authorised agents.
Thompson, Bookseller, Bury; Robinson, Bookseller, Ditto; Gall and
Nunn, Chemists, Ditto; Fitch, Chemist, Ipswich; Cupiss, Chemist, Diss;
Chapman, Chemist, Thetford; Breeze, Chemist, Ditto; Woolby,
Bookseller, Stowmarket, and by most respectable Medicine Vendors.
