HEALTH! SOUNDNESS! STRENGTH! and HAPPINESS! to the PEOPLE! THE inhabitants of Manchester, and of the adjacent towns and country, are respectfully informed, that Doctor GRAHAM (retiring from the great dis- traction and fatigue of a public Life, and great practice, in London, where he has constantly resided for the last five years) from a natural predilection for the city of Edinburgh, where he was born and most regularly educated, and where his Father, his Mother, his Sisters, and other near and dear Relations are all now living, he has actually taken a house in the New-Town, with the intention of practising there as a Physician, and of giving LECTURES on the prevention and cure of diseases to the students who resort to that highly and justly celebrated Uni- versity from every quarter of the globe; and, that for his amusement (having been accustomed to travel for twenty-two years into most parts of the world, es- pecially all over America, and to every Court and University in Europe) for the benefit of his own health by the change of air, scene, and climate, and that he may have the supreme happiness of being of more extensive use to his Brethren of mankind, he has resolved on passing the four vacant summer months, viz. June, July, August, and September, in one or other of the largest and most populous pro- vincial towns of these and the neighbouring kingdoms; he has thought proper to begin with Manchester, where he proposes to remain till the beginning of next month, when he must return to his residence in Edinburgh, as his own, and all the other Lectures of the Medical Profession in that University begin about the 1st of November:-In the mean time, therefore, he gives this public notice, that he may be consulted at his apartments at Mrs. Walton's, at the Golden-Head, in Deansgate, the third door, from St. Mary's-Gate, Manchester, in all those diseases and complaints, internal and external, which resist what is called “regular Me- dical Practice," by the Gentlemen who fettered, stand still or creep in the regular trammels of the craft; and he particularly invites those unfortunate Ladies and Gentlemen who have been dismissed and abandoned uncured by their Physicians, Surgeons, or Apothecaries, and those poor and helpless persons who have been discharged as incurable from the Manchester or any other Infirmary or Hospital, in Consumptive, Scorbutic, LEPROUS, Gouty, Rheumatic, Paralytic, Scorphu- lous, VENEREAL, Bilious, Wormy, or Dropsical Diseases; in Fits of every kind; in Gravelly Complaints, Incontinency of Urine, Ulcerations and Weaknesses of the Neck of the Bladder; and in all low, nervous, weak, low-spirited, and ema- ciated cases, where the constitution has been relaxed, drained, and ruined by im- prudence, excesses, neglect, violent mercurial and other medicines, or improper treatment of any kind. By methods, simple, safe, speedy, peculiar to himself alone, and happily confirmed by very long and very extensive practice, he gene- rally, speedily and effectually cures the above diseases; and all Foulnesses, Scurf, Blotches, and Eruptions of the Skin, even the most complicated Scurvy, or con- firmed universal Leprosy; Swellings too, white, schirrous, watry, or windy; Contractions, Stiffnesses, Weakness, and Lameness of the Joints and Tendons or Sinews; Cancers likewise, and Scrophulous and other Sores, without Caustics or Cutting; in Blindness and Deafness moreover, whether partial or total (if curable) and in all other lesser infirmities, such as Soreness, Relaxations, and Ulcerations of those most delicate, most precious, and most important Organs the human Eye and Ear! It [2] It is pretty universally known and allowed, that in Female obstructions, Weaknesses, and BARRENNESS; and in the too often fatal complaints which happen at certain critical periods of Female Life; in all Venereal cases too, Re- laxtions, and Imbecilities which arise from repeated injuries, neglect, bad treat- ment with injections, violent purging, or loads of drastic mercury, or from high, full, and careless living, no man on earth ever perhaps studied the true nature, seat, and causes of these maladies and misfortunes, or ever had so much practice, ex- perience, and success in curing them, as Dr. GRAHAM; and that in all immi- nently dangerous attacks of the Palsy and Apoplexy; and of the Gout in the Head or Stomach; in violent Swellings, Inflammations, and gangrenous Ulcer- ations of the Throat; in Inflammations of the Bowels; and particularly in all ardent inflammatory, and in low, nervous, putrid, scarlet, sported, and malig- nant Fevers, Dr. GRAHAM's methods are infinitely more efficacious and suc- cessful than those of any other Physician; and that he generally and daily does, and really has in a VERY GREAT NUMBER of cases, preserved Life, and restored to perfect health, where the patients have been totally given over by even the most skilful and most eminent Physicians in the world, and when they have been ly- ing senseless, cold, putrid, and convulsed in the very article of death. It is hop- ed, therefore, that the friends and relations of persons apparently at the point of death, and when given over by other Physicians, will avail themselves of this true, important, and public notice. For he with truth and with conscious con- fidence repeats it, and gives daily proofs of it in his practice, that the means and methods which he has adopted for the cure of the above-mentioned most fatal Diseases, are infinitely more rational, powerful, and successful, than those em- ployed by any other Medical Practitioner, as far as he knows in the world; and they are such as have been suggested to him by the good all-illuminating Spirit of God! operating on an humble, simple, and benevolent mind, dwelling in a temperate, pure, and as it were, transparent body (from having totally renounc- ed all the grosser and more debasing gratifications of the animal senses) and that disclaiming all self-power and pedantic worldly learning, continually looks up to God for light and direction, and takes Nature in her sweet, abvious, and all-bless- ing simplicity, for his sole, constant and unerring Guide! It is well known to the world in general, particularly to the Nobility and great Personages of Europe, and still more especially to the inhabitants of London and Westminster, that Dr. GRAHAM has laid out more than Twelve Thousand Pounds sterling in erecting and embellishing the largest, the most magnificent, and most powerfully useful Medico-Electrical, Chymical, and Philosophical Apparatus, for the cure of diseases, and for the preparation of his 12 Great Medicines, that with- out exception, ever was, or that now is in the world! And that for 15 years past, he has had far more extensive experience, and more successful practice in speedi- ly and effectually curing the most confirmed and most hopeless diseases, and in restoring decayed and worn out constitutions to their juvenile bloom and vigour, than any other regular or even irregular Physician or Practitioner perhaps that now is, or that ever did live in the world, having had daily from 50 to 200 pa- tients, under his care, and as the various books and pamphlets he has published on the practice of Physic and Surgery, and the many hundred perfect and well- attested cures he has been instrumental in performing in the most desperate and hopeless cases, on persons in almost every rank and situation in Life (especially among the principal Nobility and Gentry in Great-Britain), abundantly and un- controvertibly prove and demonstrate, to every person of sense and candour. But even the most ignorant and most prejudiced of the people, and the most jealous and envious of the Medical Faculty, cannot disbelieve, and dare not at- tempt to invalidate the great number of extraordinary cures which Dr. GRAHAM has lately had the honour and the happiness of completing under the eyes and im- mediate [3] mediate inspection of many of the foreign Ambassadors, and others of the great- est Personages in Church and State in Europe-among whom appear ahe Seals and Hand-writing of his most Serene Highness Frederick, Prince of Hesse-Cassel! Her Grace Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire! The Right Hon. Countess Spencer! The Right Honourable Lady Clermont! Earl Spencer! &c. &c. &c.-who for the encouragement of the diseased and afflicted, and general benefit of mankind, were pleased (besides paying most liberally for the cures) chearfully, unsolicited, and altogether voluntarily to propose and to honour Dr. GRAHAM with the above very flattering and highly honourable certificates! Come, then, all ye poor and diseased of this laudably industrious, and therefor respect- able town and country, come! notwithstanding the evil reports and lying insinua- tions of ignorant and malevolent persons, and of the envious and interested Fa- culty and their friends, come to me, trust in God! and receive from me all ne- cessary advice for your speedy and perfect cure,-for benefitting and rejoicing your families and friends, and for gladdening your dejected hearts! The truth of your poverty, of your diseasedness, and of your unhappiness, attest- ed by the Clergy, the Church-wardens, or Overseers of your respective parishes, is all the introduction-all the recommendation that is required to assure you of my kindest attention, and of my utmost help. Bless God! and favour me with your prayers and benedictions: I want none, and I will receive none of your money, I am rich, because independent; for it is not he who possesses most of this world’s wealth, but he who wants the least, and is content, that is the richest and the happiest man. Persons of family and opulence, and those who are in easy circumstances in the world, seldom fail to pay me as their fortune and situa- tion allow, and as the nature and importance of their respective cases make rea- sonable. By them I expect to be genteelly and even liberally rewarded; but for curing, and leading into the way of health and happiness the poor and help- less,-the Great Sovereign of the Universe! the eternal and most adorable Source of all Life, of all Light, and of all Happiness! is my Pay-master. In the consciousness of thus doing my duty, he blesses me with a species and with a degree of happiness which all the riches and honours of this world cannot give!-and which neither the caprices of men,-the revolutions of king- doms,-nor the continual vicissitudes of all sublunary things, can deprive me of. For HE! even the Great and Good GOD of the Universe!!! visits, com- forts, and delivers in the day of danger and of trouble, and in the tremendous and most important hour of death! (an hour seldom or never properly thought on, or prepared for!) all those who continually and from good motives prefer the health and happiness of their fellow-creatures, and his honour and glory! to their own private and transient emolument. Of the free and unmerited mercy, and of the rich and illuminating grace of the Great and Good GOD! more than from my University education, my much travelling, my long, deep, and intense study, and most extensive practice, have I abundantly received the great and precious gift of healing!-thankfully and chearfully therefore do I feel it to be at once my duty, my delight, and my high privilege to dispense freely bodily health, and mental light, and comfort, to all the diseased, ignorant, and unhappy of my fel- low-creatures, who come within the sphere of my practice, or the reach of my publications. The public are desired to take notice, that as Dr. GRAHAM devotes his whole time to his profession, he may be consulted daily, during his short stay now only one month, from Six in the morning till Ten at night, Sundays excepted (unless in cases of great and imminent danger) at his apartments, at Mrs. Walton's, the Golten- Head, in Deansgate, Manchester. The poor and helpless, especially those who run the gauntlet of the trifling and nonsensical regular practice, and who have sur- vived the trials of younger and more whimsical skill in the county Experiment Houses; [4] Houses; and who have been discharged as incurable from Infirmaries, Hospitals, Dispensaries, &c. are supplied with advice gratis, for their perfect cures; they may apply recommended as above, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings from Six till Ten o’clock. Those in tolerable circumstances, but who cannot afford to give the ordinary fees, may apply at any time, and are cured on paying the Doctor’s Apothecary only for necessary medicines; while to enable the Doc- tor to do more extensive and more complete charities to the diseased and misera- ble poor, he expects genteel fees, and adequate gratuities from the Noble and Rich, according to the nature of their respective cases. JAMES GRAHAM, M.D. Glory be to GOD in the Highest!!!-on Earth Peace and Health!! and Good-will towards Men! Amen, Hallelujah! AS very few people chuse to have their names or complaints exposed to public view; as Dr. GRAHAM's character and highly superior abilities as a Physician have been many years pretty generally known and established; and as the vast number of cures that are performed every week, would render the trouble and the expence of printing them intolerable, the Doctor has for several years past to- tally declined printing cures in news-papers. He is, nevertheless, much obliged to those who have sent their names and cures for publication, to express their gratitude to him, and to encourage others afflicted in the same way to apply, where perhaps alone they might meet with a cure; but he hopes that the above reasons will be perfectly satisfactory to them, and to the public at large. As the time for the Doctor’s departure for Edinburgh draws nigh, he ex- horts all persons, labouring under confirmed Consumptive, Asthmatic, Nervous, Scorbutic, Leprous, Cancerous, Dropsical, or VENEREAL complaints; or with the Stone, Gravel, Ulcerated Bladder, or Pain and Inicontinency of Urine, to ap- ply immediately, that their cures may be as well compleated and confirmed as possible before his final departure from this industrious and truly respectable country, which will be about the first of October. * Dr. GRAHAM begs leave to recommend the following curious and most useful publications, which are just arrived, to the attention of all learned, curi- ous, and sensible persons, who set a proper value upon health and happiness, temporal and eternal! and especially as they can peruse them without one far- thing expence. Some of these publications have been esteemed so very curious, eccentric, and important, that Ten Guineas have been offered for a single copy; and as but very few are come down to Manchester, Ladies and Gentlemen who are very curious, should instantly send for them. † He takes the trouble of composing and publishing the following books, &c. and of submitting to the almost insupportable fatigue of attending to the cases of from 50 to 200 sick, lame, and diseased people every day, Sundays excepted, all for the good of his fellow-creatures, for the high and exquisite satisfaction he feels in his own mind, in doing so much real and important good to the bodies and to the souls of mankind; and, if possible, to promote the honour and glory of that most tremendous and most incomprehensible BEING! whose tender mercies are over all his works! whose favour is Life, and Light, and Joy un- speakable! and whose Rewards are, like HIMSELF! eternal.

Lady Clermont! His most Serene Highness Frederick Prince of Hesse-Gassel! Earl Spencer! and many others of the first Nobility, both in Church and State, in Europe; who, for the encouragement of the afflicted, and the general benefit of mankind, were pleased, voluntarily and unsolicited, to honour Dr. Graham with the above-mentioned certificate. The whole interspersed with such observations, reflections, and precepts, me- dical, philosophical, moral, and religious, as are necessary for the preservation of Health and long Life in this world, and for the attainment of happiness and glory in future states of existence!

The whole interspersed with such precepts and directions as will, it duly attended to, make man and wife sweeter, LOVELIER, and MORE DESIRABLE in the eyes of each other-the Lady becoming a healthy and happy mother! -and, if naturally healthy, well-formed and disposed-a snowy rock of HEALTH, [6] HEALTH, studded as it were with roses; and streaked with celestial blue! The whole comprised in eight large folio pages. VIII. The Guardian of Health, Long Life, and Happiness! or Dr. Gra- ham's general Directions as to Regimen, &c. and for the cure or relief of nervous, scorbutic, serophulous, boilious, gouty, rheumatic, and wasting diseases, addressed to every reasonable and candid man and woman, who wishes to be healthy, re- spectable, and truly happy. The whole in two very large folio pages, sealed up, only is. though if followed, is above all price. Those for the Female Sex must be asked for particularly, being different in several respects from those for Gentlemen. * All the above are to be had at Dr. Graham’s apartment in Manchester; and as but a few are now to be had, those who having read the first six of the ar- ticles, and who chuse to return them, will have the whole of their money return- ed; except only for the Private Advices, and the Guardian of Health, both sealed up. Any or all of the following Articles of Dr. GRAHAM’S Domestic Cabinet of appropriated and approved MEDICINES, are to be had at the Doctor's Apartments in Manchester, and after his departure at Mr. 1st. IMPERIAL PILLS! or universal Family Medicine: being a speedy and absolutely infallible cure for all bilious, gouty, and rheumatic complaints, however complicated or blended in the blood, or however long and deeply root- ed in the constitution. The title of Imperial was given to them to mark their high and decided superiority over all the Analeptic, Scotch, or stomach Pills, Daffy’s Elixir, Magnesia Alba, and other alterative and opening medicines that perhaps ever were invented, or which are now used in the world. In all weak- nesses, oppressions, flatulencies, cholicky gripings, want of appetite, slitches in the side, and windy distensions of the stomach and bowels, especially when those uneasy and tormenting complaints proceed from venereal relics, scorbutic, gouty, rheumatic, or bilious humours, fretting, corroding, and irritating the nervous coats of the stomach and bowels, souring the food, and preventing easy balsamic digestion; or from heats, acidities, crudities, and indigestions, occasioned by full and soul feeding on fish and other animal food, excessive drinking of strong and bad wines, spirituous or malt liquors, foreign tea, &c. or from heats and colds, or surfeits; irregular and late hours as to sleep; want of fresh air, due exer- cise and perspiration, &c. &c. in all such cases, the Imperial Pills are constantly found to give immediate relief, and by a regular and gentle perseverance in the use of them, a perfect and lasting cure will assuredly be obtained. Dr. Graham, from long and very extensive experience, from the daily encreas- ing sale, and from the praises and continual sending for more of these Pills, by every one who has once used them, ventures to assure the Public, solemnly be- fore GOD! and upon his honour, that they are, in his opinion, the safest, best, and most efficacious operating Family Medicine in the whole world, for effectual- ly curing all the above diseases and complaints; and he will forfeit Ten Gui- neas to any person who takes them properly, if they will swear or declare that they have found no benefit from them. No person who once uses these most precious and most efficacious of all other Pills in the world, will ever be without them. The Doctor is persuaded, that even the poorest person in England who is subject to any of the above complaints or diseases, and who has ever used the Pills, will rather pawn or sell their cloaths, or even go without their usual food or drink, than be without them in their house, or in their pockets, as they may be taken in the coldest and wettest weather, and even when using the cold bath, [7] bath, at all times, and under any circumstance whatever, without any danger from cold, ordinary food, drink, &c. In reality these Pills are unique; they are possessed of virtues which no other Laxative Medicine in the world possesses; for they never leave the body in the least costive, which all other purgative me- dicines do. It is well known, that whatever medicine or food, causes evacua- tion by stool, it suppresses or lessens the quantity of Urine and perspiration, at the time of its operation; and the same of diuretic medicines, which always checque evacuations by stool, during their operations; but these Imperial and most precious Pills, promote and increase the discharges of both stool and urine, at the same time, most easily, most plentifully, and without the least disturbance, heat, straining, or inconveniency of any kind to nature, or to her other functions and operations. It is very remarkable that these Pills give an additional foetor to the excrements, and the fragrant odour of the sweetest and freshest roses, lilies, violets, pinks, and wall-flowers, to the urine. The learned, opulent, and truly humane Governor H. who, for several years past, has bought vast quantities of the Nervous Balsam, Imperial Pills, &c. sent a few days ago from Bath, for six guineas worth of the Pills alone, and his Ex- cellency in his polite and obliging Letter, declares, that they are the mildest, safest, and most efficacious medicines he ever in his life experienced.-And this flattering acknowledgement is corroborated by the testimony of a high Dig- nitary of the Church, and of thousands of persons of worth, credit, and found judgment in London, and in various parts of these three kingdoms, as well as in the East and West-Indies, and America, who have used them, and who will never be without them in their families:-in a word, no person who once uses them, will ever, on any account, be without them, and their whole soul will for ever bless Dr. Graham for thus earnestly recommending them, and the following medicines. 2d. ANTISCORBUTIC ESSENCE! or the Universal Sweetener and Purifier of the Blood and Humours: for the safe, speedy, and infallible cure of all scorbutic, leprous, scrophulous, rheumatic, venereal, and even cancerous disorders, how- ever complicated, hereditary, or rooted in the constitution. Scorbutic eruptions, pimples, sudden chills and flushings, sore eyes, discharges of matter from the ear, Saint Anthony’s fire, tetters, and wring-worms on the face and other parts, which appear redder and paler, better and worse; scald heads too, the most in- veterate itch, scurfs, scabs, blotches, itchings, and inflamed, hard, and bleeding lumps in the flesh in consequence of scratching, spongy and bleeding gums, and even when the sharpness, saltness, and soulness of the humour has eat down the gums from the teeth, loosening and rotting those MOST USEFUL ornaments, and occasioning little ulcers in the mouth, throat and tongue; in the piles too, fistulæ, swelled and knotty legs, & old-callous ill conditioned sores; in all scrophulous swel- lings and ulcerations of the neck, throat, and joints of the limbs, even when the evil has affected every gland and joint in the body, and where many bits of the bones have exfoliated, and the disorder has wasted the patient to a skeleton, and affected the lungs themselves, this most powerful and most excellent Essence, assisted externally by the Vegetable Balsam, has speedily and radically cured all the sores and swellings, and restored the worn-out patient to perfect health and strength;-and these two medicines never have, AND CANNOT FAIL. if judiciously and perseveringly used, to cure most radically and lastingly all scorbutic, venereal, and LEPROUS disorders, even when the miserable spectacles have been covered with scurf, scabs, and rawness all over, from the top of the head to the toes, and when every other human means have been tried in vain. This admirable and most precious Essence may safely be taken at Sea, or on Land journies, in the coldest or wettest weather, and require no confinement, and only a regimen of diet simple, mild, and moderate. 3d. [8] 3d. VEGETABLE BALSAM! an external application, for cooling, cleans- ing, and healing every outward malady to which the body and limbs of human Beings are liable. All red and painful rheumatic swellings, all itchings and in- flammations; all scorbutic pimples, and leprous scurfs, scabs, tetters, ring-worms, and the most inveterate itch; scalds, worms in the face or nose,-all disorders of the private parts and fundament, such as venereal ulcers, warts, cancers, rawness, sponginess, swellings, foulness, smarting, erosions, ulcers, piles, and fistulæ, and all scurfy swellings, discolourings, and old sores of the legs and feet; and, in short, every soul, fulsome, or unseemly appearances on the external parts of the human body and limbs, are instantly relieved and altered for the better, both to the sight and feeling, and as speedily as the nature of the case will admit of, most safely and most perfectly cured. No poultice whatever should ever be applied to any part without more or less of this most astonishing and most precious Vegetable Balsam in it, or on the top of it. It will do wonders by one single application. It makes the reddest and foulest part as cool and pale as the breast of a chicken; and although there is not one particle of that deadly mineral lead in the composition, yet it is peculiarly serviceable in all the cases in which Goulard's Vegeto-Mineral Water, Pomade, Elder and White-Lead Ointment, and cerates are used and recommended. It instantly eases, and very speedily cures all itchings, soreness, lumps, warts, and piles about the fundament: and wonderfully cools, heals, and fills up the parts that have been seemed, ravaged, and eat down by the small-pox. N. B. By thoroughly washing the parts with this Vegetable Balsam. both before and immediately after connection with a diseased or suspected person, all possibi- lity of receiving any, even the slightest infection, is with absolute infallibility prevented. 4th. ÆTHEREAL AMBER! a balmy aromatic penetrating outward applica- tion; which often instantly eases, and frequently perfectly cures old rheumatisms, spasms, cramps, old PALSIES, gouty callous swellings, STRAINS, aches, pains, weaknesses, and wastings, and all stiffness, contractions, and shrinkings of the sinews, and feebleness of the joints; and all weaknesses, spasms, and pains of the head, neck, back-bone, and loins, as well as the sciatic or hip gout, and limping or leaning to one side through too fast growing, and other weaknesses. But in palsies, strains, cramps, spasms, and old gouty or rheumatic pains and weaknesses, the Æthereal Amber has not its equal perhaps in the whole circle of nature! 5th. PEARL ESSENCE! for cleansing, evacuating, and healing all ulcers, cankers, cancers, and foulnesses of the mouth, tongue, and throat,-and for the certain cure of all the pains and foulness of the teeth and gums. In a few times using, it effectually cures the most severe tooth-ach, and restores the gums that bleed, and have been ate away from the roots of the teeth, making the gums plump, firm, and of the fine coral colour; it makes the teeth beautifully white, stops all decays and rottenness, and fastens such as are loose, and as are apt to fall out without pain. The most offensive breath is soon made delicately fresh, bal- my and sweet, and the injuries that mercurial medicines, common tinctures, pow- ders, and other dentifrices, and hot applications to case the tooth-ach have occasioned, are, as far as it is possible, speedily and effectually remedied. For all these desirable and most valuable purposes the Pearl Essence (which is chiefly a vegetable preparation) has not it equal in the world, as many of the principal nobility and gentry of these kingdoms have long and most happily experienced. 6th. NERVOUS ÆTHEREAL BALSAM! or the Balmy Bracer of weak Nerves and relaxed Fibres: being a restorative Æthereal Oil, or strengthening Bal- sam, for renovating and nourishing decayed and worn-out constitutions. If the reader can conceive of the richest, purest, and most strengthing parts of all the cordial, bracing, and nourishing things he is acquainted with in nature being ex- tracted, [9] tracted, purified, exalted, and concentrated into a finall compass, by tbe irresist- ible powers of pure æther, vegetable juices, and the electrical or celestial fire, he may also conceive of the nature and properties of this most precious Balsam, which instantly cures all those lesser nervous complaints, occasioned by tea, coffee, bad wine, and pernicious spirituous and gross malt liquors. In palsies, faint- ings, lowness of spirits too, in head-achs, tingling of the ears, dimness of sight, loss of memory, apoplexies, convulsions, hysteric fits, in inward sinkings, empti- ness, and decays of nature, and in all those tormenting lingering fevers, heats and chillinesses, and in those tremors and quiverings of body, and restless anxieties, flattings, dread, horrors, gloominess, discontent, and unsettledness of mind. when there is no real or apparent reason or cause, but which proceed from an irregular circulation of the blood and animal spirits, or from spasms, debility, or relaxa- tion of the nervous system, this Æthereal Balsam will always be found of im- mediate service, and by a gentle and persevering course of it, and a few of the Imperial Pills, a perfect and lasting cure will in general be obtained; because by these two Medicines the blood and juices are purified, sweetened, tempered, and brought to a pure fluid slate; while the solids are braced up and strengthen- ed; the genial vital warmth promoted; the animal spirits increased and invigo- rated; and the nerves sheathed, nourished, steadied, and firmly coiled up. Low, nervous, and putrid Fevers have been cured by it when the Patient has been senselesss and in the very article of Death. Indeed the nervous aetherial balsam has been for many years universally acknowledged to be by very far, and one of the most exhileratihg antispasmodic, bracing, restorative, strengthen- ing, and consequently antiseptic medicines in the world-infinitely superior to Tea, Coffee, the common tinctures of the bark, valerian, castor, saffron, laven- der, &c.-and infinitely more cordial and mild than the burning inflammatory salts, and fiery fetid spirits of hartshorn, eau de luce, sal volatile, and all the li- queurs, drums, and cordials, foreign and domestic, which bring on habits of dram- drinking and drunkenness, only bewitching and giving a mere temporary relief, which must soon give way to additional horror, darkness, dejection and despair;-whereas this most precious Ætherial Balsam acts like a fresh and judicious supply of fine oil to an exhausted, tremulous, and expiring Lamp, or like the genral comfortings of a Summer's Sun! but producing no com- motion or other sensible operation, than a more genial and brisker flow of the blood and animal spirits,-and that species of permanent contentment, thankfulness, and benevolent gladness of heart, which makes us happy in our- selves, and agreeable to all about us. 7th. PECIORAL BALSAM! for Colds, Coughs, Asthmas, Consump- tions, and all the disorders of the Breast and Lungs. It is chiefly, by God’s blessing on the use of this mild, rich, and restorative medicine, and by attending to the advices given with it, that Dr. GRAHAM is daily more successful than any other Physician, perhaps without exception, in the world, in curing Asthmas, Consumptions, Coughs, Soreness, Wheezings, straitness and tightness across the breast, hoarseness and loss of the natural voice, and it is most happily and most thankfully known to many hundred persons in this Island, that Dr. GRA- HAM, with the Divine blessing, has cured, radically cured many persons, male and female, in deep declines, when the lungs have been evidently ulcerated, and when they have been given up by their friends for Death, and by the most eminent of the medical faculty. Every week, indeed, he has the exquisite- the inexpressible pleasure of seeing or of hearing of amiable, worthy, and use- ful persons being snatched from the grave, and restored to themselves, to their Friends, and to all the blessings of life and good health, by the judicious and persevering use of this truly Pectoral, healing, and nourishing Balsam! and by the use of the pectoral herbs, and other things recommended in the printed directions given with each bottle, which directions alone are worth more than a Guinea. A [10] A common cold, cough, spitting, and soreness of the throat, breast, and lungs. are cured in a few days by this sovereign Balsam; and the more con- firmed and dangerous diseases of those vital parts are instantly relieved and fre- quently soundly cured, by persevering for the necessary length of time in its judicious use: Even when in the Asthma the patient, choaked with Phlegm, and convulsed with spasms, cannot lie down at all in Bed, and in pulmonary Consumptions, when vast quantities of matter are spit up, when the ulcerated or adhering lobes of the lungs will not suffer them to lie down at all, especially on one side, when coughing, and night, or rather morning sweats, laxity of body, swelled legs. hectic shiverings, burning fevers, and universal weakness, indicate a speedy dis- solution and release;-even in these hopeless and (in general remediless cases, the Pecttroral Balsam always relieves and lengthens out comfortably the life) and often (assisted as above mentioned) completely cures the astonished and delighted Patient. 8th. SOLVENT AND EXPELLER OF THE STONE AND GRAVEL! This balsamic and ætherial medicine affords the most speedy and most certain ease and relief in the above most excruciatingly painful and most dangerous diseases.-Besides the great number of very extraordinary and well attested cures in the above cases, that appear in my books of cures; a respectable Gentle- woman a few days ago brought to me about two tea-cupfuls of redish pink sand, which three doses of this medicine brought away from her after a large quan- tity of skins and white matter, and she is now perfectly free from the violent agonies of pain, straining, and frequent needing, which made her cries and mourning extremely dreadful to even distant neighbours, as well as to her own family.-In most painful, and immediately dangerous suppressions and in- continency of urine; in excruciating pain of the back on the least motions; in foreings and dreadful strainings to evacuate a spoonful, or even a few drops of urine, purulent, bloody, skinny, and mixed; in spasms, palsies, rawness and sore spongyness of the neck of the bladder; and in the confirmed stone or stones in the bladder; this instantly and most wonderfully penetrating and searching medicine, never fails in giving relief, and seldom fails, if long and judiciously continued, to promote a complete, or at least a comfortable cure. 9th. BRITISH DROPS! a safe, speedy, radical, and infallible specific An- tidote against the Venereal Disease, in all its stages and degrees, from a recent simple injury or clap, lo the most complicated, most confirmed, and most frightful Pox: without salivation, hindrance of business, restraints, or confinement, as have been abundantly and decidedly proved by the happiest and most extensive ex- perience of many years; for it is well known that for several years past Dr. GRAHAM has made this universal and all poisoning malady, and the weak- nesses. &c. of the parts of Generation of both sexes his very particular study; and that he has had far more extensive, and more successful experience in this line than any other man without exception in the world: One single 5s. vial of the British Drops, inwardly taken, and a 2s. 6d. one of the Vegetable Balsam outward- ly applied, generally cures compleatly a recent and slight injury. All other public and private medicines in the world, are for these purposes either triffling and inade- quate, or harsh and deadly, when compared to the mildness, speediness, and radical certainty of these extraordinary and most precious Drops!-which never gripe or tear the stomach or bowels, nor affect the mouth or gums as the deadly saline prepa- rations of that dangerous mineral Mercury do, which are daily administered to the ruin of the best and strongest constitutions, and to the loss of thousands of valuable lives daily, in one part of the world or another: for altho’ a patient may not die immediately under the operation of that wondetful, almighty, yet as it is commonly used, most deadly medicine, it nevertheless proves the primary or remote cause of the most distressing weaknesses, and of those low nervous complaints which wear out life with the most tedious wretchedness, or of [11] of those consumptions, nervous atrophies, dropsies, palsies, &c. which put a speedy, yet untimely period, to their miserable existence. No: these admi- rable Drops, which are at least a million times more valuable and more impor- tant to the health and happiness of mankind (if properly and universally used) than any discovery or addition to the materia medica that ever dignified the healing art; are so gentle, benign, and friendly to the human frame, that while they subdue, eradicate, and expel the miasm, virus, or venom, which twists its roots so obstinately about every nerve and fibre in the whole frame, contaminating the blood and juices, and blasting health, vigour, beauty, and happiness,-these most powerful and most precious specific Drops, com- fort and brace the nerves, preserve the balmy texture of the blood from being dissolved or broken down, removing effectually all obstructions, and inducing that free circulation of the blood and animal spirits, and that harmonious and reciprocal action of the solids and fluids upon each other, which at once con- stitute good health of body, serene, lively gaiety of disposition and perma- nent happiness of mind!- and are so innocent, that they are daily taken by infants, and by the most delicate women, during the whole course of their pregnancy. No prudent Gentleman who has reason to be suspicious and un- easy in his mind, and who has an Eye to a happy marriage, and to an healthy offspring, should neglect to go thro' a shorter or longer course of the British Drops to eradicate every latent particle and tinge of this vile lurking disorder, and of the following most rich and precious Bracing Restorative Balsam to expel and repair the ravages of the mercury they have taken, to strengthen, build up, and re-juvenate their virile powers, and to fortify, embalm, and animate their constitution, and mental faculties. 10th. THE BRACING BALSAM; OR RESTORATIVE ORIENTAL AND BRITISH BALM! for the Effectual cure of gleets, seminal weaknesses, debility and impotency in men; and for the whites, bearings down, floodings, weaknesses, miscarriages, and barrenness in women. This rich fovereignly re- storative medicine, being perfectly safe and friendly to the human body, may be taken at all times, and under every circumstance, in larger or smaller quan- ties, and oftener or seldomer, as by experience the patient finds best. In gene- ral, one tea-spoonful twice a day, in a cup of cold water, milk, or any gene- rous white wine, such as Tent, Sack, Canary, Mountain, Madeira, or Raisin wine, will be sufficient: But in cases of great vveakness, wasting and sinking under excessive drains and discharges in either sex, even double the above quan- tity may be taken. In slight cases, ten or twenty drops twice a day, on a lump of sugar, or in a glass of capillaire and water, will be found to agree best, and to produce strength, firmness, spirits, braced nerves, and balmy permanent vigor in the genital parts of both sexes. Although that all gleets and seminal weaknesses in both sexes, proceeding from frequent, latent, ill-cured, or neglected venereal infections, or from loads of the harsh preparations of mercury, salivations, frequent and violent purg- ing, too early, too frequent, or excessive straining in venereal pleasures, or from mere weakness and simple relaxations of the parts;-although, I say, that all such cases are completely cured, and firmly braced up, by a prudent, per- severing use of this most strengthening and most restorative Balsam, yet its good effects have been transcendently manifested in restoring to bodily health and strength, and to mental serenity and composure, those unfortunate persons of either sex, who have ruined their constitutions, and debilitated, my almost obliterated, their mental faculties, by that accursed vice, self-pollution, or secret-selfish venery, which is the curse of schools, and the deadly bane of thoughtless inexperienced youth; sinking them into that abyss of weakness, honor, despair, and wretchedness, from which a patient and persevering use of this precious Bracing Balsam, assisted with air, exercise, sweet hard straw beds. [12] beds, very early rising, cold-bathing, and a rich vegetable and milk diet, and eternal forbearance, so effectually and so happily raises them ; in short, in all cases of latent infection, gleets, weaknesses, debility, relaxation, and doubting anxiety and apprehensions of mind, THIS, one of the richest of all me- dicines that ever was, or ever perhaps can he prepared by human art, ingenuity, and experience, may be called the Fountain of Life! the rock and foundation of bodily health and strength! and a most genial and steady Sun chearing and illumi- nating the intellectual faculties! 11th. CEPHALIC POWDER! a safe, speedy, and in general certain cure for Fits, Spasms, lowness, horrors, moping melancholy, and all violent con- vulsive and other nervous affections, whether of the fainting, Hysterical, Le- thargic, Apoplectic, Epileptic, or Maniacal kind; but especially for perio- dical Convulsion Fits of long standing, and that have resisted all other human means. This rich, mild, steadying. antispasmodic, and mind clearing and illuminating powder, gives immediate relief, and by the patient, prudent, and persevering use of it generally perfectly cures and prevents any return of the above most dreadful, most shocking, and most dangerous ot ali the Diseases, to which poor mortals are liable, even when attended with extreme mazeness or giddiness of the head, sleepiness. low nervous Atrophies, and torpid stu- pidness of the mental powers;-when all the animal faculties are impaired by a gradual decay or benumbing of the vital Stamina, when the nervous Sys- tem is become dry, shriveled, relaxed, and tremulous,-when the mind is become a wild black chaos of senselessness, anguish, horror, and despair,-and life itself a burthen,-a weary and painful load that the miserable patient would gladly, nay sometimes, impiously and fatally venimes to lay down N. B. While the person is under a course of the above Powder, it should be omitted, and some of the nervous Æthereal Balsam should be taken for three days before the change and the full of the moon. 12th. ÆTHEREAL AMBROSIAL QUINT-ESSENCE OF GOLD! HO- NEY! ROSA SOLIS! or SUN-DEW!-for nourishing and re-juvenating the Body, chearing and illuminating the mind, for preventing and remedying the decays and evils of old age, and most happily lengthening out human life to the longest possible period of our mortal Existence! The discovery, right preparation, and perfecting this most noble, most truly Divine Medicine were Dr. GRAHAM'S chief and indeed favourite study and busi- ness for upwards of ten years. He pursued it with all the ardor of enthusiasm, and with all the confidence of Successs! and it was chiefly with the view of bringing this favourite project to the highest excellency of perfection and use- fulness, that he hesitated not to expend upwards of Twelve Thousand Pounds Sterling in constructing and embellishing an Adepti Al-chymical, and Medico- electrical and Philosophical Apparatus infinitely superior to any thing that now is, or that ever was in the world. This most generous Æthereal Medicine! the basis of which is an Amalgama of the purest Virgin Gold, prepared under the alternate, and sometimes com- bined influences of concentrated solar rays, light, or heat! and condensed electrical fire! and which is neither a water, nor an oil, nor a spirit but a balmy æthereal somewhat! may with Philosophical truth, and Hermetic cor- rectness, be called Potable Gold! Condensed Light! a Macrocosmic Essence! the mild and harmonious first matter or soul of the Elements! or Quint-essential Spirit of the Universe! and is in reality a compendium or concentration of all the balmy Aroma’s that the four quarters of the Globe produce!-an ab- stract. and aggregate fixation of the Astral or Celestial Influences! and in a word, the most precious Secret of Nature and of Art, agreeable to the true principles of the Hermetic and Rosie-crusian Philosophers! all of whom! by by the Divine blessing on this perfection of human Art, prolonged their ex- istence [13] istence on Earth many centuries,-and the profound, the sublime Artephius! (well known to the learned) extended his life to One Thousand and Twenty-five years!-Every learned man knows that in all countries and in all ages of the World, the highest, richest, and most wonderful Medicinal Virtues have been ascribed to Gold! and no one has ever attempted to deny, what every one knows to be true, namely, that Gold is the only fixt, perfect, and incorruptible substance in nature that mankind is acquainted with. It is malleable and ductile be- yond all other things in nature; it never rusts nor is in the least altered in its appear- ance, when pure, if exposed to air, &c. for even the longest space of time; and when it is put into a Glass-House, or into any other furnace, and acted upon for Twenty years together, day and night, by the most intense fire that human art can raise, it comes out pure, perfect, and unaltered, without having lost the thousandth part of a grain of its original weight.-This most precious and most perfect miracle of nature!- this visible type or emblem of the incorrup- tibility and immutibility of GOD HIMSELF! could never have been produced or created, and so transcendently dignified by the Supreme, infinitely wise, and in- finitely good God! for no other use than as a medium of traffic, to pass from one vile, ignorant, avaricious and sanguinary hand to another, when all the purposes of Commerce, &c. can be answered by paper or by the baser metals, &c. No. The great and Good Sovereign Creator and Preserver of the Universe! who creates no- thing in vain, and who hath kindly impressed upon every animal, and plant, and mineral, and thing, a true signature of its design and uses!-Signatures per- fectly legible and intelligible to those humble, wise, pious, and patient Souls who take nature and the Divine Light for their Guide, and who reverentially, and from goodmotives, dive into and explore, the great mysteries and designs of Pro- vidence! that are hid from vulgar, presumptuous, impious, and carnal Eyes. Thus Gold! the most perfect, and the most incorruptible, because the most equal in its parts, of all the visible things that God hath created, gives forth its tran- scendent and Divine qualities to a proper menstrum, and consummate Art, as the most deeply and most humbly learned Adepts in Alchymical Science in all ages have happily found, and most thankfully and soberly experienced; by its instantly killing all disease, harmonizing all discord. inducing equality and a due Temperament in and between the solids and fluids of the human body, in which good health consists; chearing and illuminating the mind, warding off the decays and evils of old age, and most happily lengthening out human life to the very longest possible period of existence, longer or shorter, however, according to the sta- mina or constitution they received from tne parents and progenitors from whom they sprung.-But the pride, the presumption, and the vain and false refine- memts of modern Medicine and Philosophy who have taken the darkness of mere human reason for their Light, and the amusing jargon qf Sholastic Systems and Hypotheses for their Guide, have wandered from the Divine Light of purity, simplicity, and eternal Truth, and not less fatally than foolishly, have departed from the too obvious, and all-blessing simplicity of nature, and have impiously and absurdly dared to attempt to force Her to bend and to act ac- cording to their whims and unnatural customs and habits of thinking and acting. As to the herb Rosa Solis! or Sun-dew, all the wise and venerable Ancients have with one voice agreed that it is dignified with characters and virtues above the whole vegetable World, and peculiar to itself alone!-In it seem united and comprehended the force and healing virtues of all medicinal things; and the greatest Alchymists, Philosophers, and Physicians, and especially the sub- lime Rosie-Crucian Fraternity, have bound themselves by the most solemn, and most tremendous Oath, not to utter or divulge in their Books or Writings, the true preparation of their Aurum Potabile, the Liquid Soul of Gold! or the admi- rable Quint-essence of this Sovereign Herb! in order that Kings, Tyrants, and their Ministers might not live for ever, needlessly and wantonly taxing, oppress- ing and massacreing the idiot People, nor the more opulent and crafty Priests and Churchmen [14] Churchmen to laught at, fleece, and keep in Egyptian ignorance, Cimmerian dark- ness, their filly filly sheep. Upon Rosa Solis, the glorious Sun which is the life, the soul, and the joy of every thing in this vast inconceiveable System, both animate and inanimate (to speak according to our blindness and narrow comprehensions, for every thing without exception in nature is in reality endowed with both life and motion)-upon this herb, on places of the Earth remote from all human art and disturbance, the thrice Glorious Sun sheds his most genial beams, and pours out his most vital and salutary influences, as he doth upon the Diamond in his secret bed, and upon Gold in the veins of the Mine; in such a measure, and in such sort, as he himself surmounts and excels all other Planets in the Heavens. All curious and deep Botanists and Naturalists know, that this herb is decked with another colour, other leaves, stranger shapes, and more miraculous appearances than any other herb or plant that grows. Like the Sun! its colour is a rich red, divided with yellow rays or lines: its shape is like a star, its proportion like a hea- venly planet, consisting too of seven branches: and its peculiar nature is such, that the hotter and drier the country, and the fiercer and more vehemently that the Sun doth scorch and burn all other things, this herb at noon day is the mois- ter and more filled with dew; insomuch, that upon one single leaf will hang dis- tinctly above a thousand drops, as if it had been spangled with the steam of the most brilliant water: and if the herb be struck with a twig or rod, and a flat glass or china vessel be put under it to receive the liquor or dew, the Sun being in- tensely hot, in less than half an hour the hair like fibrillœ of the herb will be fuller of dew than before; and if it be struck even twenty times, it will still be speedily laden with the precious drops, although it cannot be seen or imagined from whence they arise. ’Twas these marvellous appearances that no doubt first sug- gested its hidden qualities and miraculous virtues. Some of the wisest of the Ancients have thought its effects more divine than human, and declared it im- possible that a person should ever have any sickness or disease, ever sink into de- cay, or languish in the vale of years, who takes daily of this rich and most re- storative Medicine, but that they shall recover and retain the youthful bloom and perfection of body and of mind that they enjoyed at the age of thirty years: and some have gone so far as to say, that none need to die who use it daily, when combined with the Quint-Essence of Gold, and exalted by the perfection of art. It is moreover attested, not only to secure a person from low spirits, causeless anx- iety, vain fears, restlessness, tremors, and unreasonable apprehensions, and with certainty against apoplexies, convulsions, falling sickness, faintings. bursting of blood vessels, consumptions, nervous wastings, and palsies; but likewise to guard and defend those who take it, from the power of all evil and malign spirits, and from the malice and cruel designs of their avowed or secret enemies among their own species; and sympathetically to attract the benign and friendly influences and re- gards of all creatures, of good angels, and of both the visible and invisible worlds! As to the balmy, nourishing, and restorative virtues of that nectareous and am- brosial Liquor Honey! it will be quite needless to speak; since they are so well known, and so happily and universally experienced by almost every individual of the human race. It is the richest, mildest, most penetrating, and most high- ly exalted extract or Quint-Essence of all the salutary herbs and flowers, that grow in the world, which are first exhaled or sublimed by the gentle and all-power- ful chymistry of Nature’s grand operator the Sun! from every thing that is balmy, rich, and fragrant, and then condensed, and let down as it were from the bosom of Heaven on the most apt leaves and flowers, in what are very properly called "HONEY-DEWS,” well known to every one who is conversant with country matters: and that this most admirable, and most invaluable of all Medi- cines without exception in the world, the Æthereal Quint-Essence of Gold! Honey! and Rosa Solis! is indeed a rich, balmy and most subtile aggregate of those most precious of all known things, is most clearly evinced, not only by the wonderfully genial [15] genial, exhilerating, rejuvenating, and luminous effects they constantly produce on the bodies and minds of those who take it judiciously and perseveringly in the decline of Life, ESPECIALLY if their body and mind have been torn and exhausted in their younger years,-but is likewise visibly and sensi- bly demonstrated to all the senses, by instantly communicating joy and gladness to the heart! brilliancy to the eyes!- and to the breath and urine the bright yellow colour and the splendour of gold! the rosy hue (in certain lights) of the Rosa Solis, and the most delightful odour and fragrancy of all the flowers, blossoms, and leaves, from which the Virgin honey and its wonderful cells or combs, are gathered or extracted. No perfume, that is sold in the shops, is half so delicate and divine, as the breath and the water of those who have the felicity of taking this most precious Quint-Essence! N. B. As the above Twelve Medicines were not endowed with their most sin- gularly excellent virtues, and revealed to Dr. Graham, through GOD'S blessing on his humble, long, and intense study, with the design of enriching or ag- grandizing himself, or any individual, but for the benefit of the human species at large, and to manifest the goodness, and if possible to exalt the glory of the alt- wise, omnipotent, and supremely good AUTHOR of them! Dr. Graham feels it to be at once his duty, his pleasure, and his truest and most lasting interest, to send them forth into the world, at prices so low, as to be within the reach of even the lower ranks of the peopfe, and to dispense them gratis to worthy objects, in cases of great danger, and of real inability to purchase them. The first Eleven Medicines are sold in vials of 5s. 5d. 2s. 8d. and One Shilling and Three-pence each; and the Twelfth and last, the highly celebrated Quint- Essence, in vials of One Guinea, and Half a Guinea each; each of the Medicines being wrapt round with most ample printed Directions for using them to the ut- most advantage. Indeed the simple, natural, and most efficacious advices that are given with each of the Medicines, are independently worth more than a Guinea. All the above Twelve Medicines, and all Dr. GRAHAM'S Books, Pamphlets, &c. are sold at Mr. PETER BERRY’s and Co. in the Market-Place, Manchester: but as Dr. Graham is a regularly bred Physician, none of the Medicines that are sold by him, or at his House or Apartments pay any duty, they therefore come cheap- er to the public, namely at 1s. 2s. 6d. and 5s. but when they are bought of any other person the duty must be paid as above. THE fame and emoluments which Dr. GRAHAM has been, and daily is honoured with, in consequence of his singular success in curing diseases, have placed him ma- ny years ago in a sphere which is an object of envy to the selfish and narrow- minded part of the Faculty; but which neither their envy, jealousy, or mean artifices; nor the false and wicked insinuations of their friends and adherents, have been able to remove him from. As for the more learned, liberal, and dis- cerning part of the public! they can readily distinguish TRUE MERIT from pretended knowledge. Cures recent, numerous, and important, are incontrovertible. His former enemies are now silent or applaud. His superiority is universally acknow- ledged. He rejoices in the friendship of the truly candid and learned world. He feasts on the approbation of his conscience! which is the approbation of GOD! and he basks in the sunshine of his intellectual and ineffable Light! Persons labouring under Nervous, Consumptive, Scorbutic, VENEREAL, Gou- ty, Rheumatic, Bilious, Dropsical, or any other confirmed and dangerous dis- order. or under the Stone and Gravel, or diseased Eyes and Ears, are requested to apply immediately, as Dr. GRAHAM'S stay at Manchester will be now only two weeks: and left any sick or ailing person should be so thoughtless, and so totally regardless of their own truest and most important interest, as to neglect this favourable and precious opportunity which they may never more be blessed with. Dr. Gra- ham will take the liberty of exclaiming with the Poet, Æquè pauperibus prodest,-Locupletibus æquè, Æquè neglectum pueris, senibusque nocebit! But [16] But to give the fullest efficacy to these Medicines, and to be possessed of a rich treasure!-of a friendly guide and monitor thro’ time, and thro’ eternity, you must purchase price only 1s. at the places where this Medicine is sold.

With sense, politeness, elegance endu'd, Averse to evil-eager to do good Effusive virtues from his breast arise, And soft compassion sparkles in his eyes! Ye who have seen-have prov’d his skilful art, Will feel his absence in a grateful heart; The echoing sigh the silent speaking tear, Shall grace his memory-to hundreds dear; Honour'd-esteem’d-he gains a deathless fame, While Envy sickens at a GRAHAM’s name!

SIR, To Dr. GRAHAM. WHILE partial foes incessantly declaim, And point their malice at distinguish’d fame, Forgive an humble Bard, his wish to praise, And with your excellence exalt his lays. ’Tis yours alone to point out nature’s laws, And from effects produce the real cause, The force of electricity display, What will effect, and what will disobey; The pow’rs of Physic you alone define. And Health’s fair Temple glows with fire divine! Proceed, great Sir, in spite of pedant fools, Who judge from what they call establish’d rules; Hold up the mirrour of thy matchless skill. And prove that NATURE is your object still; Aug. 21, 1784. Fame join’d with fortune shall the truth advance, And prove your doctrines not the works of chance. A. Z.
