The Finest now expos'd to Sale, prepar'd from the best Druggs, according to Art, and the Original Receipt, which my Father Mr. Thomas Daffy, late Rector of _Redmile_, in the Valley of _Belvoir_, having experienc'd the Virtue of it, imparted to his Kinsman Mr. _Anthony Daffy_, who publish'd the same to the Benefit of the Community, and his own great Advantage. This Very Original Receipt is now in my possession, left to me by my Father aforesaid, under his own Hand. My own Brother Mr. _Daniel Daffy_, formerly Apothecary in _Nottingham_, made this ELIXIR from the same Receipt, and Sold it there during his Life. Those who know me will believe what I Declare; and those who do not may be convinc'd that I am no counterfeit, by the Colour, Tast, Smell, and just Operation of my ELIXIR. To be had at the _Hand and Pen_ in _Maiden Lane, Covent Garden, London_; and many other Places in Town and Country.' _Primâ facie_, the lady would seem to have made out her case; but there were other aspirants to fame--as the following notice[8] will show:-- [Footnote 8: _Ibid._ 121.] 'ADVERTISEMENT. 'Forasmuch as Mrs. _Elizabeth Daffy_ has lately Published an Advertisement containing Invidious Reflections upon me, in relation to my _Elixir Salutis_, I should be wanting to my Self if I should not obviate them in the like public manner, to let the World see they are Malicious, unreasonable, and false. 'In the first place she charges me with Clandestinely taking the House in _Prugeon's Court_; which, by her leave, is equally absurd and unjust; for the House was to be Lett a long time before I took it (nor had she any lease of the House, or any Power to Lett it), so consequently any one else might have taken the same. As for my pretending to have been her Husband's Assistant in preparing the _Elixir_, I will only say this is just as true as the former Story; and I challenge her to produce one single Evidence of Refutation to prove her Assertion: nor had I need of any such trifling pretence, having known the Secret some time before the Death of his Father Dr. _Anthony Daffy_; which I presume was before the said _Elias Daffy_ was privy to the preparing of the said _Elixir_ (he being then a _Cambridge_ scholar), and the same was communicated to me in the year 1684, at the time I was going to travel beyond Sea, where, in divers Countries, considerable Quantities of my _Elixir_ has been taken by Persons of the greatest Rank, Quality, and Note, to their great Satisfaction.
