Part 6

The BALSAMIC ELIXIR is prepared only by the Author, H. CONGREVE, Shepherd’s Bush, and sold retail at 4s. 6d., 2s. 9d, 1s. 1½d., and in Family Bottles, at 11s. and 22s. each. There is a considerable saving in purchasing the larger bottles. The Proprietor’s name, “Henry Congreve,” is written by him across the Stamp. All others are counterfeit preparations.

Messrs. Hannay and Dietrichsen, 63, Oxford-street, London, are appointed sole wholesale agents for the sale of the above, and the following most valuable preparation, mentioned in pages 7 and 11, which is also compounded by the Author:—

Under the distinguished Patronage of HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF SUSSEX,

DR. FLEMMING’S QUININE AND CAMPHOR PILLS, a celebrated remedy for Indigestion, Nervous, Bilious, and Liver Complaints. As a mild aperient, and fine stomachic, they are unquestionably unequalled by any other compound, as they uniformly invigorate the digestive organs, and operate most beneficially throughout the entire nervous system. “Their great merit consists in their mild and gentle operation, inducing a healthy tone of stomach, creating an appetite and relish for food, promoting refreshing sleep, and dissipating morning languor, and general nervousness; and, in short, resuscitating the system.”—Letter of C. Bushman, Esq., No. 3, Addison-place, Notting-hill.

Sold in Boxes, containing a Pocket Manual; or, Concise Treatise on Indigestion, Diet, and Regimen, &c. A work of great importance to those whose limited time will not admit of their perusal of other complicated and voluminous productions on this subject. Price 4s. 6d. each, and eight of the small size boxes of Pills: also, in Boxes of 2s. 9d. and 1s. 1½d. each. See that “Henry Congreve” is signed across the Government Stamp.

Sole wholesale Agents for the Proprietor, Hannay and Dietrichsen, 63, Oxford-street, London, by whom Dealers in the Country are supplied on the usual terms; and sold by all Venders of Patent Medicines in the United Kingdom.

{11} On the propriety of concealing the composition of a remedy, Sir Joseph Banks judiciously observes—“I have no doubt a medicine will prove more beneficial to the Public, in a high degree, when confined to the practice of an individual, that it may be well prepared, of the best ingredients, and that the maceration be properly conducted—matters of vast importance to the afflicted.”
