AN
ABSTRACT 
OF 
A TREATISE of the VIRTUES 
OF
Dr. Bateman's Pectoral Drops. 
Note, The wonderful, and, I may say, almost miraculous Cures 
perform'd by Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, (and attested to by 
Persons of known Credit) where-ever they have been made use of, 
and even amongst some of the Household of the Royal Family, have 
gain’d them so universal and undeniable a Reputation, that the 
King has most graciously been pleas'd to grant his Letters Patent 
under the Great Seal of Great-Britain, to the Proprietors thereof, 
thereby to prevent the Publick's being imposed upon, and receiving 
Damage by Counterfeits that may be sold under that Name: To 
prevent which each Bottle is seal’d as in the Margin, with these 
Words round the Boar’s Head, BY THE KING’S PATENT. 
An Abstract of which may be seen in the Great Book, to 
be borrow’d where ever this Medicine is sold. 
THESE DROPS, by the prodigious 
Success that has every where attended 
the Use of them, have establish’d to Them- 
selves a universal Reputation in the following 
Distempers, (viz.) Gout, Rheumatism, Jaundice,
Stone, Gravel, Asthma’s, and Cholicks, of what 
Kind or Naturesoever, whether proceeding from 
Wind, Cold, Stone, or Hysterical Affections: Besides 
which, there is no one Secret in the whole Art of Physick, of 
that wonderful, and, were it not under the Confirmation of daily 
Experience, almost incredible Effects in Colds, Agues Fevers 
A2 4

(4)
those Endemic Evils which appear in most Constitutions at Spring 
and Fall, tho' by different Intimations, according to the different 
Habit of the Body under which they happen, occasion’d either by 
an indiscreet and irregular Use (not to call it Abuse) of some, if not 
all the Non-Naturals, during the intervening contrary Seasons of 
Summer and Winter, or else in weaker Bodies, from the accidental 
Intemperature, and frequent sudden Transitions from Hot to Cold, 
& e contra, of the outward Air in which we breathe; from 
whence arise those many and often fatal Distempers, which seize 
the unwary of all Ages at those two critical Seasons, tho’ with 
a Thousand various Symptoms, according to Difference of Age, 
Strength, Habit, &c. in the Patient, and Degree of Irregularity 
in the use of, or Intemperature in, the outward Agent. In the 
former Season generally term’d Agues, and in the latter, Autumnal 
Fevers; in some appearing with Rigours, Horrors, Lassitude, Hea- 
viness, especiaily of the Head: Heat and Cold by sudden Inter- 
missions, &c. in other, with severe Diarhea’s attended with 
vomittings. In others again, with terrible Colicks and Pains all 
over the Body, all attended with Fevers generaly intermitting, 
especiaily in Autumn; sometimes inflammatory, and not seldom 
putrid and malignant. 
Now it is allow’d by all, that Fevers are the terrible Effect of 
an Inequality between the Force of Resistance in the Fluids and 
Solids of the Human Body, when the just and necessary Æquili- 
brium being destroy’d, an unequal Struggle of Nature ensues, in 
which the Texutre of the Parts is worn out, and the Solids 
Weaken’d; whose fatal Consequence is a Stagnation of the Fluids, 
and on Course Death, unless timely prevented by the prudent 
Administration of such Medicines as are particularly adapted by 
the peculiar Mechanism of their Parts, to break and expel the 
offending Matter in, or, lessen the Quantity of, the Blood. be- 
fore the Solids are too far weaken’d by it’s vitiated Impetus, and 
thereby the due Æquilibrium of Nature restor’d. 
Again, it is allow’d by all, that this Æquilibrium is by no- 
thing sooner destroy’d, than by a Diminution of perspirable 
Matter, which is occasion’d either mediately or immediately by 
every irregular Action and Passion in Lite, by every ill use or 
Abuse of all or any of the Non-Natural, and by all Changes 
and Transitions, especiaily those that are most sudden from 
one Intemperature of external Air to another; which, Obstruc-
tion or Diminution of Perspiration, says a great and learned 
Searcher into the State of the Human Oeconomy, unless immedi- 
ately remov'd, cannot but produce a Fever. For that it en- 
creases the Quantity of ths Blood, being itself deriv’d from 
it; which Derivation ceasing by that Obstruction, and the 
usual Addition of Aliment continued, on Course that Fluid 
must necessarily encrease, and its Pressure against the Coats of
the 

(5) 
the Arteries be heighten’d: which will augment their Dila- 
tations, and cause their Contractions to be stronger. The 
Consequence of all this will be an Encrease of its own Velocity, 
and by that Means the more fluid Secretions being chiefly 
promoted, the Animal Spirits will be deriv’d in greater Abun- 
dance, and by that Means the Vibrations of the Solids become 
quicker and stronger. This will still more encrease the Blood’s 
Velocity, and by breaking its Parts, cause it to dilate, and 
take up still more Room, the Arteries be more distracted, the 
Pulse raised, and the intestine Struggle heighten’d, 'till such 
Time as either the Obstruction is remov'd by an Encrease of 
the Evacuations, whereby the Overcharged may be carried off, 
or else till it’s thrown aside on some particular Part, and there 
breeds an Abscess, or else ’till the Solids are quite worn out, and 
have wholly lost their Springs, and being utterly unable longer to 
continue, their Motions, flag and subside, the Fluids stagnate, and 
Death ensues. 
To enquire how, according to the Strength of Constitution, 
Habit of Body, particular Affection, &c. this State varies into 
those several Species, of intermitting, putrid, malignant, and 
nervous Fevers, &c. would be a Work too elaborate for my 
present Purpose, and swell these Papers to an unwarrantable Size; 
let it suffice to assure the Reader, that from whatever Cause 
the Obstruction of Perspiration proceeds, or to whatever Spe- 
cies of Fever it inclines, an immediate Evacuation is necessary, 
and the only effectual and safe Means of preventing the melan- 
cholly Effects above-mention’d. 
Which Evacuators ought to be of such a Nature, as by their 
Diaphoretick Quality to break into fine small Corpuscula, and 
discharge from the Blood, that Load of deleterius, foreign Matter, 
by forcing it through the cutaneous Pores. which we commonly 
call Sweating. For tho’ we were to augment all the other Dis- 
charges to the greatest Degree a Human Constitution could bear, 
yet would not the Effect answer the Increase of this one by 
Perspiration, by almost one Part in three; which is vast Odds 
in the speedy Removal of so great and terrible an Enemy as 
this is: Besides, the most frequent Cause of these Distempers 
being, as I mention’d above, a Diminution of Perspirable Mat- 
ter, without Doubt the speediest and most effectual Way of 
preventing them, or curing them when contracted, must be by 
augmenting that Dischargs, the Obstruction whereof was the Basis 
of the Distemper. 
To which Purpose there is no one Thing in the whole 
Materia Medica of that immediate, powerful yet safe Effect as 
these DROPS, they being a most noble Diaphoretick, and never, 
as I could yet hear of, fail'd of Success, in this Intention. If
taken 

(6) 
taken in the first Dawn of Mischief arising from any of the 
afore-going Causes, two or three Doses taken every other Night 
going to Bed are a certain Asylum, and afford a certain Relief; 
but if through Neglect or Inadvertency the Patient suffers them 
to heighten to a Fever, the Dose must both be augmented and 
repeated oftner; as any one may read more at large in a Book, 
intitued, A Treatise of the Virtues of Dr. Bateman’s Drops; which 
he may borrow Gratis of the Persons where those Drops 
are sold, using it carefully, and returning it when you have 
read it over. 
In which Treatise you will also find particular Essays upon 
those terrible Enemies of Human Nature, the Gout, Rheuma- 
tism, Jaundice, Stone, Gravel, and Asthma; whose dreadful 
Natures are therein laid open, and the Effect of this Noble 
Medicine in all those particular Cases, plainly and evidently reduc’d 
almost to a Demonstration; to which I therefore refer the 
Reader for his own peculiar Satisfaction, and the general Good 
of Mankind.
But here I would desire the Reader to take Notice, that it is 
not any View of Self-Interest or Necessity that draw’d me into a 
Trouble and Charge of this Nature, but purely a Spirit of 
Charity, and Desire of assisting my Fellow-Creatures, who may 
in this Medicine meet with as much Relief for One Shilling, as 
from the Apothecaries Shops he can for TWENTY: and I am 
certain, after a more sure, speedy and safe Method, than by tak- 
ing those Loads of Druggs, attach’d to a Method of regular 
Prescriptions, as they call it, which rather and oftner aggravate 
than abate your Distemper, empty your Purse, and at best, if 
after a long tedious Course of Bolus’s, Juleps, Diet Drinks &c. 
they do seemingly restore you, they leave a Train of Mischiefs 
behind them, worse than those they were intended to destroy, al- 
ter the whole Crasis of the Blood, and utterly ruin your Consti-
tution. 
The chief End and Design therefore of publishing this, or the 
larger Treatise of these DROPS, was to save Mankind from 
this Epidemick Evil, by laying before them a shorter, safer, 
easier, and cheaper Way of regaining lost Health, than by being 
a Receiver for Life to an Apothecary’s Shop: which the surprizing 
Cures these Drops have already wrought, and the established 
Reputation they have gain’d, sufficiently testify to the World; 
a Sketch whereof may appear by the few, out of a vast Number 
of Certificates I have inserted at the End thereof, that all those 
who are not obstinately bent upon their own Destruction may 
see, believe, and themselves partake of the wonderful Benefits of 
this most efficacious Medicine, which I assure them is no Quack
Preparation of Drugs injudiciously mix’d and jumbled together
without 

(7)
without Art or Design, but such as are grounded upon both, and 
carefully suited to answer the several Intentions of Cure for which 
they are prepar’d. 
These Drops, besides their happy effect in the foregoing 
Distempers, are also wonderful in stopping Diarhea's and Fluxes 
of all Kinds, Vomitings, Hæmoptes, and all other dangerous, 
unnatural Discharges. They give immediate Ease in all Kinds of 
Cholicks whatever, restore from Consumptions by destroying the 
Cause which breeds them, it used before the Lungs are actually 
corrupted, raise the Spirits in Melancholy, Hypocondriac, and 
Hysterical affections, cure the Palsy effectually, it continued for 
some Time, re-invigorating the whole nervous System, throw out 
the Small Pox, Measles, and all other cutaneous Eruptions, cure 
the Rickets in Children, ease After-Pains, prevent Miscarriages, 
and revive and strengthen the entire Frame of human Nature.
The Dose, in any common Case, is to a grown Person, from 100 
to 150 Drops, and to a Child, even of a Year old, 10 or 12 Drops, 
but in more particular and critical Cases the Doses must be enlarg’d 
and repeated according to Directions in the larger Treatise above- 
mention’d, to be had at the same Place at this Abstract. 
Among the many other admirable Effects of these Drops, I 
must not omit one Property of them, which renders them the 
must valuable Arcanum in the whole Universe; and that is their 
powerful Influence in repelling the Mischiefs arising in the 
Human Oeconomy from a too profligate and indiscreet Use of 
that fashionable Drugg, the Jesuit's Bark; the Drugs whereof are, 
for the most Part a worse Enemy than what it was injudiciously 
given to expell, locking up, and restringing by its Stupidity, the 
finest Glands and Streiners of the Body to that Degree, as not 
only to detain the deleterious Matter therein, but for a Time to 
prevent the Discharge of that Office Nature has assign’d them: 
that is, the Secretion of such Humours from the Blood as consist
of Particles, aptly proportion’d to pass those Ducts, and no 
other: by which Means a Quantity of useless Matter is retain’d 
in the Blood, which soon after becomes a dangerous Enemy 
to that Fluid, stocking it with a Load of morbisick exotick 
Particles; which increase its Quantity, and by a Stimulus 
therein accelerate its Velocity beyond a healthful Standard, oc- 
casioning erratick Fevers, wandering Pains, disturb'd Rest, and a 
Thousand other Mischiefs, which if long neglected, settle on 
some Noble Viscus or other, and propagate Distempers not to be 
remov’d by the greatest Skill of the ablest Physician; but after 
a tedious Scene of Decay, end in certain Death, especially in the 
Female Sex, who are most liable to Injuries of this Nature, for 
Reasons too tedious to be inserted here. All which Train of 
Ills is certainly and speedily prevented, and the Cause eradicated 
by

(8)
by this powerful Medicine; which at the same Time it fortifies 
the Vitals, occasions a gentle Relaxation of the finer Glands, 
and makes Room for Nature to take her usual Course, who 
being gently propell'd hereby, carries along with her those surly 
churlish Particles of the Bark, which before made Head against 
her, and damn’d her up in her larger Channels, without suffering 
her smaller Outletts to be of any the least Service to her at all. 
but here I must beg Leave to caution the Reader against an Abute 
of this most valuable Medicine, since so great and frequent a 
Relaxation is of as bad Consequence as the contrary Evil; where- 
fore I would in no Case have these Drops repeated above three 
Nights successively, shaking the Bottle always when you use it: 
and further to observe, That the full Dose is here, and in the 
above mention'd Treatise (whereof this is an Abstract) precrribed 
under every Head; but as all Constitutions are not alike, I 
would advise you to consider the Strength of that, in propor- 
tioning the Quantity of this Medicine, and where that is weak, 
to abate somewhat of the full Dose, which is adapted to the 
most strong and vigorous, and on course too much for those who 
are of a weaker Nature, to whom three Fourths, or four Fifths 
of the Quantity, and in some who are in the lowest Rank of Strength 
of all, half the Quantity will he sufficient. 
Verbum sat Sapienti. 
HERE follow some few Certificates of Cures wrought by 
these Drops, mostly within the Verge of the Northampton 
Mercury, which are not fictitious Relations of imaginary Cures,
nor under feigned Names, nor extorted by any indirect Means, 
but real and genuine Accounts from the several Persons whose 
Names they bear, of the happy Effects of these Drops in their 
several respective Cases, which in common Gratitude to the Pro- 
prietor, and for the general Good of their Fellow Creatures, 
they have, of their own Accord, at several Times sent to Dicey’s 
Original Warehouse in Northampton, requesting that they might 
be published to the World, that others, as well as themselves, 
might know and experience this Great and Inestimable Restorer 
of human Nature. And I dare be bold to say, that altho’ these 
few Certificates (which are not the hundredth Part of what 
might te collected within the Compass of the aforesaid Mer- 
cury) are bounded within five or six Counties at most, yet they 
are more in Number, and of greater Cures than ever were 
known by any one Medicine before in the whole Latitude of 
Physick, (as you will see by the Treatise to be borrow’d where 
these Drops are sold) which is a plain and undeniable Argument 
of the prodigious Success these Drops have met with wherever 
they have been made Use of: And if we judge of the Cures 
they 

(9) 
they have wrought in other Parts of the Kingdom, by the Pro 
portion of what they have done in these few Counties of 
Northampton, Warwick, Leicester, Gloucester, Oxford, Cambridge, 
&c., the Benefit which this Nation will have receiv’d from the 
m will be almost incredible, did not the vast Quantities that 
are sold every Day of them confirm their Reception in the World, 
which would not be near so large, did they not answer the Inten- 
tion and Ends for which they are prescrib’d; for which Reason, 
those that take Quantities of them to sell again, are not desir'd 
to pay for them till they have sold them; and if any should be 
left upon their Hands, (which is very unlikely) they are wel- 
come to return them, for they are never the worse for keeping; 
and if not called for in one Part of the Kingdom, there is 
no Fear of their Sale in another, where perhaps they may be 
better known, and a greater Demand for them.

William Hewet, Esq; of Dunton-Baffet, in Lei- 
cestershire, being for many Years under an ill Habit of Body 
with the Gout and Rheumatism; and finding but very little or no Ease 
and Relief from the many Medicines which he had taken from the 
ablest Physicians, was prevailed on by some Friends, &c. in the Coun- 
try, who had found great Benefit in the like Cases, to take a Bottle of 
these Drops, which immediately gave him Ease; and, for the Good of 
Mankind, he was pleased to affirm, that he found it the most immedi- 
ate, safe, and only Disturber of that Cronic and Torturing Distemper
aforemention’d. 
A Gentlewoman boarding at the Angel Inn in Tow- 
cester, having lost the Use of her Limbs for a long time, and was 
forc’d to be carried in a Chair between two Men every Night and Day 
to and from Bed, was perfectly cured by these Drops, which she had at 
the Printing-Office in Northampton; and she continues as well as ever 
she was in her Life. This Certificate, in Goodness to all Mankind, and 
in Justice to so excellent a Medicine, which had in so short a time 
wrought so miraculous a Cure, she desired might be made publick to the 
World. 
November 28, 1720. 
I Thomas Woodin, living at the Swan in Hockley, 
near Dunstable, do certify by these Presents, that I having been af- 
flicted with the Fever and Ague, which have been so common of late; 
and tho’ I got the Fever off, yet the Dregs of it lay in me, and could 
not be removed, which kept me continually ill, ’till I procured a Bottle 
of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, by taking of which three Nights suc- 
cessively, my Illness was wholly removed. I think this Cure very extra- 
ordinary, by Reason I felt the Effects of it so suddenly. 
February 10, 1720-21. 
I William Peachey, near St. Bennet’s Church in Cam- 
bridge, having been violently afflicted with the Gravel in the Kid- 
nies, do certify, that upon taking bur one Bottle of Dr. Bateman’s 
Pectoral Drops, according to a Bill of Directions with the same, I found 
present Ease, and not only so, but voided a great Quantity of Gravel. 
I think myself in Duty bound to publish this to the World, that all 
those who labour under that racking Disease, may find Relief, as I am 
ready to testify upon Oath I have, if desired. 
I George Moore, at the King’s-Arms in Dunton-Baffet, 
in Leicestershire, being frequently troubled with the Gout in the 
limbs, so as many times the Use of them was taken away; I have 
(after Tryals of many Doctors) been advised to take a few of Dr. Bate- 
man’s Pectoral Drops, and found thereby the greatest and soonest Ease 
of any Thing I ever took. 
THese are to certify, That I have been for several 
Years afflicted with a violent Pain in my Limbs and Joints, 
which at last brought me into a Consumption: I went to the Bath, and 
took Hundreds of Medicines from several eminent Hands, which prov’d 
of no Use to me, being render’d so weak, that I was not able to walk. 
At last I had the good Fortune (by the Advice of a learned Gentleman 
in my Neighbourhood) to make use of Dr. Bateman’s Drops, three Bottles
of

[11]
of which have restor’d me to my perfect Health,, my Strength and Sto- 
mach being come to me, so that to all Appearance I am as well as ever 
I was in my Life. Witness my Hand, 
Thorp-Mandaville, near Banbury, John Iliff. 
Oxfordshire, March 26, 1726. 
MRs. Webb of Dunstable writes Word, That she had 
been long afflicted with an Ague and Fever, and neither Vomits, 
Jesuits Bark, nor any Thing else could be found to do her any Good, 
’till she made use of Dr. Bateman’s Drops, and declares that two Bottles 
made a perfect Cure of her. 
MRs. Gudgeon of Dunstable desires the World may 
be inform’d, That she had been for a long time troubled with 
the Rheumatism and Cholick, and that she met with a happy Cure by 
taking Dr. Bateman’s Drops. 
April 10,1721 
I Eleanor Lamprey, of Harberry, near Warwick, 
having been for twenty Years very much troubled with the Rheu- 
matism in all my Limbs, was advis’d, tho’ I despair’d of Cure, to 
make Tryal of Dr. Bateman’s Drops; the first Dose gave me Ease, 
and two Bottles cured me, so that I am as well as ever I was in my 
Life. Witness my Hand, 
E. Lamprey. 
MRs. Wingfield, living near Twycross, in Leicester- 
shire, writes Word, and desires it may be made publick, That 
she had been troubled with the Rheumatism and Shortness of Breath, 
and that some Friends in her Neighbourhood advis’d her to take Dr. 
Bateman’s Drops, sold at One Shilling each Bottle by the Printer at
Northampton, two Bottles of which made a perfect Cure of her; and 
that several other Persons had been cur’d of the Rheumatism, Colds, 
Cholick, &c. in the said Parish, that had took the same Medicine by 
her Advice. 
I John Smith, of Wainington, in Huntingdonshire, 
do hereby declare, that my Wife having labour’d under a great Fit 
of Sickness, occasion’d by a great Cold that she took, I consulted all 
the Physicians in these Parts, and she took Medicines by their Advice; 
I am sure I paid for what she took above Ten Pounds, yet still the grew 
worse and worse. A great many of our Neighbours being cur’d, as I 
was inform’d, by Dr. Bateman’s Drops, sold at the Printing-Office in 
Northampton, of one Distemper or other, occasioned me to buy her a 
Bottle, four of which made a perfect Cure of her Limbs. I desire this 
may be made publick, for the Benefit of all those who meet with the 
like Misfortune. Witness my Hand, 
Sept. 4, 1721, John Smith. 
I John Chater, of Brayfield, near Northampton, do 
declare, That for a long time I have been afflicted with the Rheu- 
matism so very ill, that I could not move any farther than I was car- 
ried, and nothing could be found to do me any Good, ’till I was advis’d 
by a Friend to make use of Dr. Bateman’s Drops, two bottles of which 
have made a perfect Cure of me. Witness my Hand,

To the Printer of the Northampton Mercury. 
SIR, 
BEing willing to inform the World, for the publick 
Good of Mankind, that my Son was very much troubled with the 
Stone and Gravel in the Kidnies, and had been so for some Years, and 
took many Medicines from Abundance of Doctors to no Purpose: At 
last an ingenious Gentleman in my Neighbourhood advis’d me to buy a 
Bottle of Dr. Bateman’s Drops, which hath given him Ease to a Mira- 
cle, and made a perfect Cure, as we hope, for it hath brought from him 
not only a large Quantity of Sand and Gravel, but many Stones, some 
as big as Pease. 
I am your oblig’d Servant, 
Octb. 10, 1721. John Barret. 
MRs. Mann, of Sewell, near Dunstable, being trou- 
bled with violent Sore Eyes, and afflicted extremely with the 
Cholick, for which she declares she could find no Ease, and that after 
many fruitless Trials of Medicines to a great Charge and no Purpose, 
she resolv’d to make Tryal of Dr. Bateman’s Drops, sold at the Print- 
ing-Office in Northampton, of which she had heard so universal a Cha- 
racter, two Bottles of which made a perfect Cure of her. 
The following Account I receiv'd from Oxford, Oct. 12, 1721. 
SIR, 
I Have been long troubled with an Ague and Fever, 
which render’d me so very weak, that my Life was despair’d of: At 
last I was advis’d by a Physician of this City (after great Experience) 
to make use of Dr. Bateman’s Drops, sold at the Printing-Office in 
Northampton, it being a Medicine, he said, that had done wonderful 
Cures in this University, two Bottles of which have made a perfect 
Cure of me. Witness my Hand, 
Hannah Tomlin.
MRs. Hutchinson, of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, in the 
County of Leicester, being for many Years troubled with the 
Gout and Rheumatism in her Limbs to such a Degree, that she was not 
able to walk across a Room, after taking Abundance of Medicines to no 
Purpose, and despairing of Cure, being reduced to the greatest Extre- 
mity and Misery, had the good Fortune to make Trial of Dr. Bate- 
man’s Pectoral Drops, (sold at the Printing-Office in Northampton, and 
by the Men that carry the News, at One Shilling the Bottle) a few 
Bottles of which having made a perfect Cure of her, she now remains 
in a good State of Health, desiring this may be publish’d to the World, 
that all who labour under the like Misfortunes, may endeavour for the 
same Relief. 
Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Dec. 29, 1721. 
THE Wife of Richard Francis, of Norton, in 
Leicestershire, having for a long time been troubled with the 
Rheumatism, Shortness of Breath, and Stoppage in the Stomach; and 
finding no Relief from the Advice of Doctors, in which she spent a great 
deal of Money; was recommended by a Friend to use Dr. Bateman’s 
Pectoral Drops, a few Bottles of which have restor’d her to a State 
of Health and Freedom from all Pains: She therefore desires this may 
be made publick, for the universal Benefit of Mankind. 
I John

[13]
I John Jones, of Weobley, in the County of Here- 
ford, being long afflicted with a violent Pain in my Stomach, as also 
with Pains in my Limbs and Back, to such a Degree, that I was help- 
less to myself; and having try’d a Multiplicity of Doctors and Apo- 
thecaries to a very little Purpose, tho’ at an expensive Charge; I was 
advised by a Gentleman who had receiv’d entire Satisfaction in Pains of 
the Gout from Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, to try a Bottle or two, 
and in taking the first Dose according to the Directions, I found Ease in 
a few Minutes; and before I had taken three Bottles, my Pains entirely 
left me; and I am as well as ever I was in my Life. I make this Pub- 
lication for the Good of my Country. Witness my Hand, 
June 18, 1722.  J. Jones. 
MRs. Anne Stanbridge, of Marton, near Bicester, 
was very heavily afflicted with the Fever and the Ague, inso- 
much that her Life was despaired of; but was restored to a good State of 
Health by taking only three Bottles of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, 
sold at the Printing-Office in Northampton, at One Shilling each Bottle. 
This she defires may be made publick, that those who have the Misfor- 
tune in the like illness to fall under the Hands of ignorant Pretenders, 
(who rather pick the Pocket, than carry off the Distemper) may know 
where to find Relief. 
June 3, 1722. 
BE it known for the Good of all Mankind, That I 
Richard Fowle, of Huntly, in the County of Gloucester, was for 
some Years very frequently and sorely afflicted with a violent Fever, so 
as Months together to be incapable of following my Busness, and could 
not, by any Help I could procure, have any Relief, till I was directed to 
take a Dose of Dr. Bateman’s Drops, and in taking two Bottles I found 
my Fever and all the Symptoms thereof had entirely left me, and I am 
as well as ever I was in my Life; for which I return the Author, next 
to God, my hearty Thanks. 
July 2, 1722. Richard Fowle. 
HAving receiv’d such wonderful Benefit in the fol- 
lowing Distemper from the Vertue of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral 
Drops, I Elizabeth Davies, of Chipping-Campden, in the County of 
Gloucester, do hereby declare, That I should have no Peace nor Quiet 
in my Conscience, did not I, for the unisersal Good of all Christians 
who labour under the like Illness, thus publickly certify, under my Hand, 
that having from my Infancy been violently afflicted with the most rack- 
ing and tormenting Pains of the Stone and Gravel, could never get any 
settled Relief, ’till I by good Fortune was recommended to the abovesaid 
Drops, a Dose of which I took when one of my miserable Pains was on 
me, and I found immediate Ease thereby; and soon after in taking a few 
more Doses, voided Abundance of Gravel and Stones of a considerable 
Bigness; since which I’ve never had any Trouble or Pain. The Truth 
of this not only myself, but many of my Neighbours are ready to testify 
upon Oath, and that not only for me, but for many other Person in this 
Town and Neighbourhood, who have been cured by the Vertues of these 
Drops of several Distempers, after they have despair’d of any Help- 
In Witness whereof I have set my Hand,

[14] 
I Francis See, of Upwell, near Wisbeach, in the Isle 
of Ely, having been troubled with a Weakness in my Joints, at- 
tended continually with the most torturing Pains; and finding no 
Relief from the Physicians that I had from Time to Time apply’d my- 
self unto, I at last made use of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, two or 
three Bottles of which entirely remov’d all my Weaknesses and Pains. 
Witness my hand, 
Francis See. 
Without Injustice to my Mind, as well as to the 
afflicted Part of Mankind, I could not bury in Silence the 
great Benefit I found in the Distempers here under mentioned, 
(which are now, and have some time been, so rife in these Parts) I mean 
the Ague and Fever, of which I John Webb, of Long Marston, in the 
County of Gloucester, have been long afflicted; and altho’ it cost me 
many Pounds in Doctors and Apothecaries, and I had for a long Time 
used the Jesuits Bark in this tedious Course of Physick, yet my Life 
was despaired of by my Friends: But being visited by a near Relation, 
who liv’d some Miles from me, as soon as he saw and knew my Distem- 
per, he begg’d that I might take a Bottle of Dr. Bateman’s Drops, 
which he positively affirm’d had done Wonders in some Cases amongst 
some of his Neighbours; and I had no sooner taken one Bottle, but I 
found my Fever and Ague abated to almost no Appearances thereof, 
and before I had compleated three Bottles, both my troublesome and 
dangerous Companions left me, and I shortly recover’d my former 
Strength. Witness my Hand, 
Octob. 8, 1722.

THese are to certify all, who thro’ Misfortune are 
afflicted with the Ague aud Fever, That I Thomas Lambly, of 
Long Marston in the County of Gloucester, have been for many Months 
past grievously afflicted with the abovesaid Distempers, and could find no 
Help or Relief from all the Doctors I had employ’d, to a more than 
common Charge; but being recommended to use Dr. Bateman’s Pecto- 
ral Drops, sold at the Printing-Office in Northampton, and by the Men 
that sell the Northampton Mercury, at 1s. the Bottle ; and in taking of 
two Bottles I found myself so far reliev’d, that I appear’d to those who 
knew me under my Misfortune, not to be the same Person; and before I 
had taken four Bottles, I found myself as well as ever I was in my life.

Elizabeth Armstrong, of Stapleton in Leicestershire, 
doth hereby declare for the publick Good, that having for many 
years been troubled with violent Pains all over her, and finding no Good 
by all the Medicines she had taken from the ablest Physicians, was at last

Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, sold at the Printing-Office in Northampton, 
and by the Men that sell the Northampton Mercury, at 1s. each Bottle.

SIR, Chipping-Campden, Nov. 3, 1722.
THE great and terrible Misfortune I have for many 
Months lain under, together with the innumerable Number of 
Medicines I have taken to an excessive expence, for Relief under the 
Pressure

[15] 
Pressure of an Ague and Fever, obliges me (well knowing within my 
Conscience, that, under God, to you alone I owe that Life I now have, 
being given over by most of my Friends) thus publickly to declare, that 
nothing which I had ever taken (amongst which I had plentifully dosed 
the Jesuits Bark) could relieve me, ’till I had try’d the famous Dr. Bate- 
man’s Drops, so frequently recommended in the Northampton Mercury, 
and sold at 1s. each Bottle, three Bottles of which made a perfect Cure; 
and I am, thro’ the infinite Blessing of God, in as good Health as ever 
I was in my Life, as will readily be acknowledged and testified by abun- 
dance of my Friends and Neighbours, who were Eye-Witnesses to the 
surprizing Effects of this Medicine. In Witness whereof I have set my 
Hand,

County of Oxon, Labourer, having for several Years past been 
troubled with the rheumatism all over me, and for about three Months 
since it fix’d in the Sciatica, and from thence to my Foot; the Pain 
was so great, that I had no Ease Day or Night, and caused such a Weak- 
ness, that I could not go without two Sticks. After trying several Re- 
medies to no Purpose, at last I was advis’d to try Dr. Bateman’s Pecto- 
ral Drops, which I bought of one of your Servants that brings the News 
this Road, and in taking four or five Doses, I could go without the Help 
of a Stick; and am, I thank God, perfectly easy, and in as good a State 
of Health as ever I was in my Life. I desire this may be published by 
you, not for the Advantage of those that make or sell them, but for the 
Benefit of all my Fellow-Creatures, who labour under the like Misfortune.

sorely afflicted with the Ague and Fever, for which no Relief could be 
had, and I was thereby reduced to so weak and miserable a Condition, 
that I was not able to provide for my Family; but by the great Kind- 
ness of a Neighbour, who had experienced the Virtues of Dr. Bateman’s 
Pectoral Drops, by taking one Bottle, which she gave me, I began to re- 
cover myself in some Measure, (even from the Jaws of Death) and in ta- 
king a few more Bottles, I got entirely rid of both my Ague and Fever, 
and in a very short Time, to the Admiration of all who knew my late 
deplorable Condition, was perfectly recovered to my former Strength. 
This I am not only ready to testify myself, but many of my Neighbours 
and Friends are willing to do the same, to any Persons who shall give 
themselves the Trouble to enquire.

her Girls about Nine Years old, afflicted with the Rheumatism to 
that Degree, that she had lost the Use of all her Limbs, except her 
Hands. I immediately sent to you for Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops; up- 
on taking the first Dose, the Child was sensible of its finding Benefit by 
it, and in taking three Bottles, had the perfect Use of her Limbs, and is 
in as good Health as ever. I desire this may be published for the Good 
of all those who labour under the like Affliction. The Truth hereof I

which Weakness and Anguish of my Pains, brought my Eye-sight into 
such a Condition, that I was afraid I should have quite lost my Sight; 
and having try’d all Medicines as were recommended proper for me, found 
no other Effect, than that my Pains grew stronger and stronger, and that 
my Weakness both of Body and Eye-sight grew more heavy upon me, till 
I was recommended by a Friend to make use of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral 
Drops, sold at the Printing-Office in Northampton; by taking of which 
a few Times, thro’ the Blessing of God, my Pains left me entirely, where- 
by I began to gather Strength, and to recover my Sight; and, to the 
Admiration of all that knew me, I was as perfectly well as ever I was in 
my Life, and can now see to read the smallest Prints whatever. Witness

vailed upon to make Trial (altho’ I had no Hopes of Success) of Dr. 
Bateman’s Drops, sold at the Printing-Office in Northampton, one Bot- 
tle of which reliev’d me to a very great Degree, and a few more per- 
fectly restored me to my perfect Health and Strength: Which wonderful 
Cure encouraged several of my Neighbours to make use of the same 
Medicine, to all of whom it gave the like relief, as will be testify’d upon

thereby into so weak and low a Condition, as hardly the like was ever

dreadful Distempers, (and are willing to testify the same on all Occasions) 
to take a Bottle or two of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, sold at the 
Printing-Office in Northampton, which I accordingly did, and, for which 
I return Almighty God my hearty Thanks, found, in taking three Bot- 
tles, that the fever had quite left both myself and Child, and the Ague 
so abated, that we gather’d Strength, to the Admiration of all that 
knew us, and in a few times taking more, we were perfectly recovered,

had taken to no Purpose, my Disease still increasing, I was induc’d (by 
the good Success many of my Neighbours and Country-People had met 
with under the like Affliction) to take a Dose or two of Dr. Bateman's 
Pectoral Drops, sold at the Printing-Office in Northampton, which in a 
short Time entirely removed my Pains, and, to Admiration, totally car- 
ry’d off the very Grounds of my Distemper, insomuch that I have re-

Having received so great a Benefit by the Use of 
Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, after all other Means had fail’d, 
I should be wanting in common Justice to my Country, did I not thus 
publickly declare, That I John Butler, of Hinchman, in the County of 
Gloucester, was perfectly freed from all my Rheumatick Pains, under 
which I labour’d for a long Time, and was brought to so low a Condi- 
tion, that I could hardly assist myself on any Occasion: And this I think 
the more wonderful, in that I had no sooner taken one Dose of the 
abovesaid Drops, but my Pains left me in a few Hours, and before I 
had taken two Bottles, I was as well and as hearty as ever I was in my 
Life. Witness my Hand,

Whereas I John Griffin, at the George Inn in 
Wallingford, Berkshire, have for many Years been troubled

little or no Ease in any Medicine that I took ; was at last prevailed on 
(tho’ I profess without Hopes of Success) to take a Dose of Dr. Bate- 
man’s Pectoral Drops, which gave me immediate Ease, and in a few 
Doses I found that Help I never could before procure, altho’ it cost me 
many Pounds. Witness my Hand,

SIR, 
IN Justice to you, and for the publick Benefit and 
Good of all Mankind, I send you this Certificate, that all who la- 
bour under the like Misfortune, may, thro’ the blessing of God, 
find the same Relief as I have done, who for many Years past have been 
troubled and sorely afflicted with most violent and racking Pains in my 
Limbs and Joints, so as to be Bed-ridden for a considerable Time, and 
not able to help myself in any Thing whatever; and having try’d va- 
rious Means to no Satisfaction or Relief, did, by the Advice of a Friend, 
who had experiene’d the wonderful Vertues, in the like Case, of Dr. 
Bateman’s Drops, sold by you, take a Bottle or two thereof, which re- 
mov’d my Pains, and in a very short Time brought me to the Use of 
my Limbs and Strength again. Witness my Hand, 
Warwick, Octob. 3, 1723.

For the Advantage of the Poor, I beg this may be 
publish’d to the World, That I Simon Smith, of Hardwick, in 
Warwickshire, have been for a long Time very ill of an Ague and Fever, 
so that it was the Opinion of my Friends, and those about me, that I 
must lose my Life, having taken Hundreds of Medicines to no Purpose;
At last I was advis’d by a learned Gentleman to take a Medicine, call’d, 
Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, one Bottle of which made a perfect Cure 
of me. If I did not publish this to the World, I should think myself an 
ill Man. Witness my Hand,

for a long Time past been violently afflicted with Pains in all 
Parts of the Body, which some adjudg’d to be the Rheumatism, others 
the Wind-Cholick, &c. so that not being certain of my Malady, I took 
vast Quantities of Medicines, without the least Success or Hopes of 
Cure: At last I was advis’d to apply myself to the Printer of the 
Northampton Mercury, in order to make Trial of the celebrated Dr. 
Bateman's Pectoral Drops, which I did, and by taking only one Bottle 
thereof

[19]
thereof, voided a Stone of an Inch round and three Quarters of an Inch 
long, which gave me immediate Ease, and so rectified my Body, that 
(blessed be God) I have not felt the least Symptom of my former Mi- 
sery since. This Method of Publication I think myself oblig’d in Justice 
to take, both in Honour to the Author of so universal a Preparative, 
and in Charity to such of my Fellow Creatures as may meet with the 
like Affliction, and perish under the Pressure of tormenting Pains, for 
Want of so great a Restorative. Witness my Hand,

Bodice-maker, now living at Northampton, was for many 
Years afflicted with intolerable Pains in my Back, to ease 
which I had the Direction of Apothecaries, but to little or no Purpose, 
which made me almost Despair of Relief; At last, being seized with 
an intolerable Pain, not inferior to those I had felt in Travail, I was 
intreated to make Tryal of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops (sold at 
the Printing-Office in Northampton) which, with much Persuasion, I
consented to; and, to my Amazement, no sooner had I taken one 
Potion, according to the printed Bills of Directions given therewith, 
than I found immediate Ease; and by taking only one other Dose of 
the same afterwards, was entirely freed of all that Pain and Misery 
which had claim’d Residence in my Body, under the Denomination of 
a violent Cholick; therefore I take this Liberty of asserting, That 
the aforesaid Drops are the only and most sovereign Remedy for those 
in my former unhappy Condition, ever yet made Publick. Witness

for any Tongue to express, for which I could find no Ease or Benefit, 
tho'  I had the Advice of the best of Judges, and by whom (after all 
other Means try’d) I was recommended to Dr. Bateman’s Drops, which, 
in a few Times taking, remov’d my Pains, and in a small time after 
rector’d me to the Use of my Arm again, for which Reason I think 
myself in Duty bound, after Thanks to the Almighty God for his 
Blessing, to publish the above, that all Persons under such Afflictions

tle) to be, but by this Publication of the miraculous Cure I found 
thereby, do declare, that I had quite lost the Use of all my Limbs, not 
withstanding it cost me many Pounds for Help, to no Purpose; but was 
at last advis’d to make Trial of the abovesaid Drops, by a Friend who 
had receiv’d great Benefit by them, and accordingly taking two or three 
Bottles, I found my Limbs to have a Warmness and Feeling, which for 
some Months I had not before had; and continuing to take thereof, by 
the Success I had in those few Bottles, I found that in less than a Month 
I could use my Limbs as well as ever, and in a small Time I recover’d 
my former Strength and Agility, In Witness whereof I have hereunto 
set my Hand, this 21st Day of June, 1724,

may be made publick, (for the End above described) that having for 
many Years been usually troubled with Rheumatick Pains, and having 
from the same Term of Time used all proper Means that could be pre- 
scribed to get rid thereof, and altho’ it cost me a great many Pounds, yet 
could I get no Relief, but as I grew in Years, so my Pains increased, 
and at last I lost the Use of my Limbs; But hearing by the frequent 
Certificates and Advertisements, weekly publish’d in the Northampton 
Mercury, of the Excellency of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, I resolved, 
as the Charge thereof was but small, to use the Endeavours of that 
Medicine, and accordingly bought one Bottle of the Man that brings 
the abovesaid News, in taking of which I found so much Ease and 
Satisfaction, that I resolv’d to proceed, and accordingly taking a few 
Bottles more, found the Use of my Limbs return’d, and in a very short 
Space I was as well as ever I was in my Life, The surprizing and won- 
derful Effects of this Cure Scores of People can testify, as well as myself.

Pectoral Drops, (sold at the Printing-Office in Northampton) by a 
Neighbour who had receiv’d great Benefit thereby, four Bottles of which 
restor’d her to a perfect State of Health, entirely removing all the

Violence: At last I was happily advis’d by some Friends and Neigh- 
bours, who had by Experience found the greatest Relief under the like 
Distempers, by Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, sold by you, and by the 
Men that carry your News, to make Trial thereof, which, to my Com- 
fort, I soon found to answer the great Character my Friends had given 
them, for in taking one or two Bottles more, my Ague quite forsook me, 
so that I am, blessed be God, in as good Health as ever I was in my 
Life. Witness my Hand.

Having for above these 20 Years last past been trou- 
bled with a violent Cough, attended with a Shortness and Stop- 
page of my Breath, so as very frequently to be depriv’d of whole Nights 
rest, and my Stomach and Appetite also brought thereby to so bad and 
low a Condition, that I could never get any settled Relief, altho’ I had 
all the Advice imaginable, and that to a very great Expence, ’till by 
Advice of Mr. John Morley of Newmarket, I was recommended to a 
Medicine, sold by the Printer of the Northampton Mercury, at one 
Shilling each Bottle, containing three Doses, call’d Dr, Bateman’s 
Pectoral Drops, the which Medicine he hereby, for the publick Good, 
declares, reliev’d himself and Family from a languishing illness that had 
for a long Time attended them. From the Character and known Credit 
of Mr. Morley aforesaid, I made Trial of the above-mention’d Drops, 
and found, in taking a few Bottles, that satisfactory Relief that many 
Pounds-worth of Medicines before taken could never effect; for my 
Cough and Shortness of Breath soon abated, I took my natural rest, 
which I had not done for many Years before, and my former Appetite 
and Stomach return’d to my entire Satisfaction. This I think myself 
bound in Duty to Mankind in general, publickly to declare under my 
Hand.

I Richard Ball, at the White Hart in Bridge-street, 
Northampton, Have for several Years been very frequently and 
grievously afflicted with violent Pains in my Hips, Back, Loins, 
Kidney, and Stomach, and thereby reduced to so miserable a Condition, 
that I was never out of my Bed, any longer than ’twas turn’d or made, 
for twenty Weeks, nor once out of my Room for upwards of three 
Quarters of a Year, having spent under that unhappy Condition above 
fifty Pounds, to no manner of Satisfaction, I have been so terrified by 
this Disease, that I verily believe, that if melted Lead or any other 
sealding Metal had been pour’d down my Throat, I could not have 
underwent more racking and torturing Pains, being expected by all that 
saw me under the abovesaid agonies, to have expired every Moment. 
At last I was advised (very fortunately for me) to use a Medicine, sold at 
the Printing-Office, call’d Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, the first Dose 
whereof removed my Pains, and immediately gave me Ease; and in tak- 
ing a few Bottles I recover’d my Strength and Limbs, and shortly after 
became as well and strong as ever I was in my Life, and, I bless God, I 
still am, altho’ ’tis now two Years since, and have never once had the 
least Symptom of my old Disease or Pain; tho’ formerly, if I met with 
any Medicine that gave me Ease, yet if I took the least Cold, I was 
drove into Extremity of Pain. This Publication I think myself, in Duty 
both to God and my Country, bound to make, that all suffering Chri- 
stians, whose Torments like mine can’t be express’d, may find the same 
happy Relief, as will be testified with Fidelity by me,

MRs. Pywell, at the Cross-Keys Inn in Northamp-

all the Help that could possibly be got, but to no Purpose, her Distem- 
per still raging with more Vehemence, ’till at last she became Bed-ridden, 
and the Use of her Limbs was taken away, in which Case she was in 
short Time given over for one past Recovery; But being advis’d to try

Numbness which seized on her Limbs began to abate, and in about a 
Week’s Time she was able to walk across the Room, and soon after en-

plorable Condition, This, for the Benefit of those whose Misfortunes it 
is to be so miserably afflicted, she desires may be made publick.

occasion’d, as I believe, by exceeding Heats and Colds; and 
having try’d all Things that were thought necessary for Relief, could 
have no Benefit thereby, my Illness growing worse and worse, ’till at last 
I was entirely incapable of following my Trade; at which Time I was 
happily advised to take some of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, two 
Bottles whereof, which cost me only two Shillings, carried off all my 
Pains, and enabled me to follow my Business; and I am now, blessed be 
God, as well as ever I was in my Life.

the Rheumatism in my Thighs and Legs, that I have been fre- 
quently obliged to keep my Bed, not being able by any Means to help 
myself; for which Distemper I could meet with no Ease, ’till taking a 
Bottle or two of Dr. Bateman’s Drops, sold at the Printing-Office in 
Northampton, and recommended to me by Persons who are Neighbours 
of Worth and Honour, who had not only read and heard the great Cha- 
racter of the abovesaid Drops by the repeated and numerous Certificates 
publish’d in the Northampton Mercury by Persons known in the Towns 
and Counties round, but also had experienc’d the good Effects thereof 
themlelves; which Drops sood remov’d my Pains, and in less than a 
Week’s Time I was able to go a Mile to my Labour. Witness my

To the Printer of the Northampton Mercury.
SIR, 
WHereas several Persons have been cur’d, or at 
least receiv’d speedy Relief and Ease, by taking the famous 
Dr. Bateman’s Drops, from the several Distempers, acute 
Pains and chronical Diseases they have long labour’d under; I Gregory 
Cripwell, of Bunny, near Nottingham, and in the said County, have 
been for some Time most grievously afflicted with the Rheumatism thro' 
every individual Joint and Part of my Body, not having the least Use of 
one Limb or Joint about me, being all the while in the most racking, 
violent, and intolerable Pains, which I underwent continually, without 
Intermission; this oblig’d me to seek out for speedy Help, which I did, 
tho’all to no Purpose, but rather (if it could possibly be) grew worse, 
and my Pains increased: At length hearing of the famous Drops above, 
and the many Cures they had wrought, (being impatient either for some 
Ease and Mitigation of my intolerable Pains, or invoking Death to put 
a Period to my miserable Life) I sent for a Bottle of the said Drops, 
(by the Advice of Sir Thomas Parkyns, Bart. of Bunny) and upon tak- 
ing the first Dose I immediately found Ease and a Cessation of my Pains, 
slept the greatest Part of that Night, (tho’ I had not got the least 
Wink of Sleep for above a Week before) was easy all the next Day, 
tho'

[25]
tho’ Weak, and have continued easy and gathering Strength daily 'till the 
writing of this, and now am perfectly well, and follow my Busiuess again, 
blessed be God first and above all, and next Thanks to Dr. Bateman, 
who, next under God, has work’d, I may say, almost a Miracle upon me; 
for when I took the first Dose, I could neither stir any Joint about me, 
nor suffer any other Person to touch me in the least.—This I humbly 
beg may be inserted in the List of my dear Brethren who have been 
Fellow Sufferers, (but surely none in so high a Degree as myself) and 
found Relief by the same, and publish’d in your Northampton Mercury, 
that my loving Neighbors, that shall happen to labour under the same 
Maladies, &c. may see and know where to apply for speedy Ease, Relief 
and Cure. Witness my Hand,

more might be said in the Case, and not in the least derogate from the

A Daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Judge's, of Great 
Marlow, in the County of Bucks, had been for several Years so 
grievously afflicted with the Rheumatism, that many Months at a Time 
she has been laid up in so bad and weak a Condition, that she has no 
ways been capable to help herself, and never could get any Remedy for 
her Disease, notwithstanding she had constantly, as her afflictions came 
on her, used all the Means that possibly could be had for Money, but to 
no Purpose; ’till being advised and persuaded by the good Success many 
of her Neighbours in the abovesaid Town and Country round had re- 
ceived by Dr. Bateman's Pectoral Drops, sold at the Printing-Office in 
Northampton, she made Trial of a Bottle thereof, which she solemnly 
declares (and desires the World may be made sensible thereof) gave her 
present Ease, and quickly remov’d her Pains; after which she gather'd 
Strength, and recover’d her health as well as ever she was in her Life, 
D to


[26]
to the great Surprize of all that knew her: And altho' it is now up 
wards of two Years since, the Truth of this will be testified by her 
Friend's and Neighbours, who were Eye-Witness to this sudden and al- 
most miraculous Cure.

John Garratt, of Long Stanton, in the County of 
Huntingdon, being sorely afflictedd with the Rheumatism, and hav- 
ing for a long Time tired himself with repeated Medicines to no Effect 
or Ease, was at last recommended to take Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops 
a few Bottles, whereof soon remov’d all his Pains, and restored him to his 
former Health and Strength, In Witness of the Truth hereof he hath, 
this 4th of February, 1725, set his Hand,

THomas Cox, of Wallingford, in the County of 
Berks, being afflicted in a violent Manner with Rheumatick Pains, 
insomuch that he could not follow his Trade for the Support of his Fa- 
mily, not being able to walk without Crutches, was restor’d, in taking 
five Bottles of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, to his former Health and 
strength, altho’ nothing that he had taken before, to a great Expence, 
would do him any Good. This he desires may be publish’d to the 
World, for the Help of poor Sufferers in the like Case,

HAving for above twenty Weeks been troubled with 
the Rheumatism to so great a Degree, that I could not go with- 
out Crutches, and finding no Ease or Relief from any of the Means I 
had in Abundance try'd to a great Charge, did, by the Advice of a
Gentleman of the Unversity of Cambridge, take two Bottles of Dr. 
Bateman’s Pectorai Drops, sold at the Printing-Office in Northampton, 
which did, by the Blessing of God, give me Ease, and to a Miracle I re- 
cover’d my former Strength and Use of my Limbs, and at the same 
Time it carried off the Fits of a very bad Ague, which I had been 
troubled a considerable Time with. This I publickly declare for a 
General Good. Witness my Hand,

no Ease nor Help, altho’ I had all the Advice I could have from Doctors, 
Apothecaries and Surgeons, which was very expensive: But at last, when 
I despair’d of Relief, I was advis’d to make Trial of a Medicine call’d 
Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, (so often advertis’d in the Northampton 
Mercury, with Certificates, under the Hands of creditable Persons, of 
the wonderful Cures daily perform’d by the abovesaid Medicine) a 
Bottle or two of which I bought of Mr. Christopher Irwin, of Great 
Marlow aforesaid, which immediately gave me Ease of all my Pains, and 
very speedily carry’d away the Swelling, and, to the Surprize of all that 
knew me in that deplorable Condition, I recover’d my former Health 
and Strength in a very short Time. Witness my Hand,

ELizabeth Mathews, at Loughton, in the County of

that she was cured of the Rheumatism, by taking a few of Dr. Bate- 
man’s Pectoral Drops, sold at the Printing-Office in Northampton, 
notwithstanding she had been troubled with it for many Years, to a 
great Expence, and no Help. She also further declares, that being some 
Time after afflicted with an Ague and Fever, and brought thereby into 
a very weak Condition, was entirely reliev’d by the abovesaid Drops, 
when nothing else that she had taken did her any Good. 
I William Bray, of Shamford, in the County of Lei- 
cester, do declare, for the Benefit of Mankind, and desire that it may. 
be publish’d, that I was for a long time troubled with the Stone and 
Gravel, and try’d several Medicines, but could find no Relief; at last, 
being advised by a Friend that had found great Help in the Rheuma- 
tism by Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, I consented to take them, and 
found Benefit in the first Dose; and in taking four Bottles, brought 
away Gravel and Stones of an uncommon Size, and was perfectly cured, 
to the great Surprize of all that knew me. Witness my Hand, 
William Bray. 
I Mary Lakein, of Tamworth, in the County of Staf- 
ford, having been very much troubled for many Years past with the 
Rheumatism in all my Limbs, was advilsed, tho’ I despair’d of Cure, 
to make Trial of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops; the first Bottle gave 
me Ease, and a few Bottles taking cured me; so that I am as well as 
ever I was in all my Life. Witness my Hand, 
Mary Lakein. 
WHereas I Lætitia Goodchild, Wife of John Good- 
child, living in Lamnam, in the County of Berks, having for a 
long Time been troubled with the Stone Cholick, and having 
try’d several Remedies to no Purpose, tho’ very expensive, I could find 
no Ease, At last I made Trial of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, and 
in less than a Quarter of an Hour after taking the first Dose, found 
Ease, and that Night brought from me Abundance of Gravel; and in 
taking two Bottles, according to Directions, it made a perfect Cure Of 
me, to the great Surprize of all that saw me in that sore Affliction. I 
had not for a Month before lain down in my Bed, nor any Thing went 
thro’ me. I should think myself unworthy the Name of a Christian, 
and should have no Quiet in my Conscience, if I did not, for the uni- 
versal Good of Mankind, publish this to the World. The Truth of 
this, not only myself, but many of my Neighbours are ready to testify 
on Oath, and that not only for me, but for many other Persons in this 
Town and Neighbourhood, who have been cured by the Virtues of 
these Drops of several Distempers, after they had despair’d of any 
Help. In Witness whereof my Husband and I have set our Hands, 
John and Lætitia Goodchild.

Shipton, of Shipton-Lee, near Ailesbury, in the County of

and Joints, and having been at a great Expence of Money and Time 
for Relief, could find no Help of Ease, 'till being advised by some

the wonderful Cures perform’d by a Medicine called Dr. Bateman’s

soon gave me Ease, and in a short Time entirely removed the Cho-

declares, that having, for the Space of six Months, been so grievously 
afflicted with the Cholick and Pains in his Limbs, and brought thereby, 
into so weak a Condition, that he could not help himself; and having 
labour’d under the Hands of many Doctors to no Purpose, was (after 
given over as past Recovery) recommended to try Dr. Bateman’s Pecto- 
ral Drops, publish’d by virtue of the King’s Letters Patent. 
a few Bottles of which (bought of Mr. Paul Stevens of 
Bicester) soon gave him that Ease and Comfort which he had (tho' in 
vain) long sought after, and in a very short Time made a perfect and 
happy Cure of him both in his Limbs (the Use of which he had quite 
lost) and Constitution. In Witness whereof he hath set his Hand,

I John Woodcock, of Gravely, in the County of Cam- 
bridge, within three Miles of Huntingdon, do hereby, for a publick 
Good, certify, that having been afflicted with a most racking and tor- 
turing Pain in my Hip and Thigh, and thereby reduced, as not able to 
help myself, neither could I have any Rest, being oblig’d to have People 
with me Night and Day; and, notwithstanding I had all the Advice I 
could possibly get, I was at last given over by all that came near me, 
expecting every Moment to breathe my last; when, by good Fortune, 
and the Advice of Mr. Thomas Brooke, I had given to me a Dose of 
Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, which, to a great Miracle, instantly gave 
me Ease, and in repeating the Dose, I found myself reliev’d in a great 
Measure from my Pains; and still continuing to take the abovesaid 
Drops, all my Pains and Illness entirely left me; and, in taking three 
Bottles, I found myself, thro’ the wonderful Mercies of God, perfectly 
cured, and as well as ever I was in my Life. This I have publickly 
given under my Hand, for the universal Good of all Sufferers in the like 
Circumstances with me, this 25th Day of June,

could find no Comfort in any Thing he took; ’till by the earness Re- 
quest of some Friends, who had both heard of and experienced the great 
Virtues of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, (sold at the Printing-Office 
in Northampton) he was prevailed on to take thereof, which soon gave 
him Ease from his Pains, relieved, in a very surprizing Manner, his 
drooping Spirits, and, in a few Bottles taking, perfectly restored him to 
his former Health and Strength. The Truth of this will be attested, 
for the Satisfaction of those who shall enquire, by the abovesaid John

Stone and Gravel, and other complicated Distempers, could find little 
Satisfaction or Ease from Abundance of Medicines, which they had 
taken by the Advice of eminent and able Physicians; but being advised 
to try Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, (sold at the Printing-Office in 
Northampton, for only one Shilling the Bottle) found that Relief and 
Benefit, in taking a few Bottles, in a very short Time, which they had 
for many Months (to a pretty large Expence, and to no purpose) sought 
after. Witness my Hand,

in all Parts of his Body, which at last settled in his Side, and caused 
such a Stoppage in his Stomach and Shortness of Breath, as brought 
him into a deep Consumption; and having the repeated Advice of se- 
veral Physicians, whose Help and Prescriptions were still baffled by the 
Stubborness of his Discese, was look’d upon and given over by all that 
knew him as past Relief; at length was restored to his former Health 
and Strength in so miraculous and sudden a Manner, that is scarce credi- 
ble, did not daily Experience confirm the Truth thereof in other Cases 
full as surprizing: For having taken but two Bottles of Dr. Bateman’s 
Pectoral Drops, according to Directions, (which the Wife of the said 
Henry Gurney bought of Mr. Thomas Williams of Tring) his Pains 
left him, the Stoppage of his Stomach and Shortness of his Breath en- 
tirely abated, whereby he began to relish and receive such Nourishment 
by all be eat and drank, that he was in a very short Time as well as ever 
he was in his Life.

SIR, 
THis is to satisfy you, that I Thomas Pattison, 
Blacksmith, of Yelling, within four Miles of Huntingdon, have 
been for several Months past afflicted with such violent Pains in my Hips, 
Thighs and Legs, that I could not rest Day nor Night, nor follow my 
Trade; but was at last happily advised by John Woodcock of Gravely 
to take some of Dr. Bateman’s Drops, which not long since cured him
of the like Pains, three Bottles of which, thro’ the wonderful Mercy of 
God, have perfectly cured me, and I am as well as ever I was. I desire 
you would make this publick for the Good of all People., Witness my 
Hand.

WHereas I Elizabeth Singal, of Melbourn, in the

afficted with the Rheumatism, Wind, and Stone-Cholick, but 
more particularly for these last four Years and a Half, in so dreadful a 
Manner, that I could get no Ease, altho’ I apply’d for all the Help 
possible; ’till by taking a few of Dr. Bateman’s Drops, (sold at the 
Printing-Office in Northampton, and so often recommended in that 
Paper) I found that Ease and Cure which I had so long sought after, 
to a very great Charge, but to no Purpose. I think this Cure the more 
extraordinary, in that I am now upwards of 55 Years of Age, and the 
Distempers above-mention’d, as one might readily conceive by their long 
Continuance, become habitual to my Body; and, in Consideration of 
the great Benefit I have (thro’ the Blessing of God) receiv’d by the said 
Drops, I think it my Duty to desire the Publication of this Certificate 
for the publick Good. In Witness whereof I have, jointly with my

be given, for a general Good of Mankind, that having lain Bed-ridden 
above six Months in a most torturing Anguish and Pain in his Joints and 
Limbs, being thereby reduced to so weak a Condition, as not to be 
able to help or feed himself, brought on him by a violent Cold and Sur- 
feit; and having been at a great Expence for Relief from his miserable 
and helpless Condition without the least Success, his Weakness and Pain 
still increasing; was recommended to Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, 
(sold at the Printing-Office in Northampton) two Bottles whereof made 
a perfect Cure of him. This will not only be attested to by the above 
Lawrence Mewell, but also by the chiefest of his Parishioners and Neigh- 
bours, who were Witnesses of the deplorable Condition he was in, as 
well as of his surprizing and speedy Cure by the abovesaid Drops, after 
all other Means had fail’d.

who was afflicted with the Stone-Cholick to such a Degree, that I 
despair’d of any Help for him, having us’d all the best Means I could, 
but to no Effect; ’till I was advis’d to give him Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral 
Drops, (so often mention'd in the Northampton Mercury) which in a 
very little Time brought away two Stones of an uncommon Bigness: 
This being near twelve Months ago, and the Boy having ever since been, 
and is still (praised be God for it) in perfect Health, I am not only 
bound

about a Twelvemonth ago he was in a very great Degree trou- 
bled with the Rheumatism and a dead Palsy, insomuch that he had en- 
tirely lost the Use of one Thigh and Leg, and could not support himself 
or stand without Crutches; from which unhappy Condition he could no 
ways be reliev’d, notwithstanding he had all the Advice and Help pos- 
sible, ’till being recommended, by the Rev. Mr. Somes of Little Cat- 
worth, to try a Bottle or two of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, (sold at 
the Printing-Office and Original Warehouse in Northampton) a few 
bottles of which perfectly restored the Use of his Limbs, and carried off 
the Rheumatick Pains, and brought him to as good a State of Health 
as ever he was in his Life. The Truth of this is attested under the Hand 
of the above William Croxton, and also by the Rev. Mr. Moses Somes

I George Wilkinson, living with Mr. Whaddon, of 
Henly, in the Parish of Towcester, in NorthamptonShire, having been 
much afflicted with the Rheumatism for above these five Years, could 
never find any Help or Relief, ’till I was advised by a Friend who had 
experienc’d the Excellency of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, (sold at the 
Printing-Office in Northampton) three Bottles of which made a perfect 
Cure of me. This I desire may be advertis’d for a publick Good. In 
Witness whereof I have set my Hand, this 14th Day of Nov. 1726.

Stow in Huntingdonshire, Nov. 19, 1726. 
I John Toozy, of Stow, between Spaldwick and Kim- 
bolton, having been for 16 or 17 Years past afflicted with a Distemper, 
which at first would about two or three Times a Year cause me to fall 
down, as if perfectly dead, and remain so for an Hour or two at a Time; 
but of late Years have been so much troubled with the said Fits, as to 
have them once a Week, and many Times oftner, nay sometimes conti- 
nue fo for two or three Days together, and could not in all the Attempts 
I ever made (which were many and fruitless) find any Relief or Help, 
’till I was directed to Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, (sold at the Print- 
ing-Office in Northampton) one Bottle of which I took, and no more 
and I had not the least Sign of a Fit for above three Months; and al- 
tho’ I’ve since found some small Returns, I question not but, by the 
Blessing of God Almighty, and the taking a few more Bottles, I shall be
as 

[32] 
as perfectly cured of the said Fits, as my Wife have lately been of a very 
grievous Fever and Ague, the Agonies of which she had been long trou- 
bled with. Witness my Hand,

Stow in Huntingdonshire, Nov. 21, 1726. 
BEnjamin Brown, of Stow, being afflicted with a 
high Fever and Cough, attended with a violent Vomiting and 
Looseness, which had, by their long Continuance, reduced him so low, 
as to be given over as past all Help by the neighbouring Doctors and 
Apothecaries; on which Account he sent for the Rev. Mr. Moses Somes 
of Little Catworth, to pray by him, and be a Witness to his Will, &c. 
who recommended to him the taking a Dose of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral 
Drops, (since he could not be assisted any longer by the Physicians) which 
he accordingly took, and it gave him some Ease of his Cough, and com- 
posed him to Sleep, (of which he had not before for many Nights and 
Days felt the Comfort) and thereby stopp’d his Vomiting and Looseness, 
which extraordinary Alteration in his Distemper embolden’d his Friends, 
&c. to give him another Dose, and so on to the taking two or three 
Bottles, which, thro’ the great Mercy of God, (which has in an extra- 
ordinary Manner constantly attended the Success of the above Drops) 
restor’d him most miracalously and speedily to his former State of Health, 
The Truth of which will not only be attested by the said Rev. Mr. 
Moses Somes, but also by the Mother of the said Benjamin Brown, as 
well as the Neighbourhood, who had been daily Witnesses of his deplo- 
rable Condition. 
WHereas I John Chaffer, of Little Catworth, in the 
County of Huntingdon, have for above 14 Years past been con- 
tinually afflicted with a Stoppage in my Stomach, and after every 
Meal I was in so violent a Condition for a Quarter of an Hour or better, 
that I could hardly fetch Breath enough to live, my Hands and Face 
would be so contracted, and all over me so full of Pain, that ’tis impossi- 
ble to express the Agonies I underwent, and immediately I had such cold 
Fits all over me, that I have frequently been oblig’d to go into a warm 
Bed; from which Distemper I could never get any Ease or Relief, ’till 
considering the continual Success many of my Neighbours and Acquaint- 
ance met with from Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, under various Distem- 
pers, I had Inclination to try a Bottle or two of the same Drops, in 
hopes of Redress in my unhappy Case, and, I give God Thanks, it an- 
swer’d my Expectation, and a few Bottles intirely carried off all my Ill- 
ness. This I desire may be made publick, for the Comfort of all those 
who, like me, may unfortunately labour under the heavy Burden of such 
Distempers. The Truth of this will he attested by any of my Neigh- 
bours and Parishioners. Witness my Hand,

past very much afflicted with Pains In my Limbs, that I could not

am (thro’ the blessing of God) now as well as ever I was in my Life.

SIR, 
OBserving in most of your Weekly Papers some re- 
markable Cure or Ease given to the Afflicted by Dr. Bateman’s 
Pectoral Drops, and having myself receiv’d so great and wonderful a 
Cure, after all other tedious Means had fail’d me, which I had used to 
a considerable Expence, I thought myself in Duty bound to assure the 
World, that I had the Use of my Limbs wholly taken from me, but 
found a perfect Cure by taking a few Bottles of the above Drops, which 
I bought of Mr. Paul Stevens, Grocer in Bicester, and that in so speedy 
a Manner, as is hardly to be credited, was it not daily prov’d by undeni- 
able Testimonies, that many others, who have been so unfortunate as to 
fall under the like Afflictions, have found the same happy, as well as 
speedy Relief.

I Anne Blincowe, of Middleton-Cheney, in the County

Pains in my Limbs, and the Use of them taken away, so that I could 
not walk without Crutches, for about nine Months; but, by the Bless- 
ing of God, I can now walk as well as ever I could for some Years past, 
and am now without Pain, and this Cure I receiv’d by taking three 
Bottles of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, which I bought of one of the 
Men that carries the Northampton News, which, for the publick Good, 
I desire may be advertised in the said Northampton News-Paper, or as 
the Author thereof shall think convenient.

before the 30th of May last, 1727, with the Rheumatism, attended 
with an Ague, &c. insomuch that she was almost drawn double, and was 
entirely helpless; and finding no Help from any Thing she had taken, 
at last made Trial of Dr. Bateman’s pectoral Drops, sold in this Town 
by John Seaton, Shop-keeper, (who is serv’d with the said Drops from 
Dicey’s Original Wholesale Warehouse in Northampton) an in taking 
two Bottles, was enabled to walk upright, and to do her customary Busi-

WHereas I Theophilus Cramp, of Leicester, for 
some Time being so violently afflicted with the Rheumatism. 
that I was not capable of moving out of my Chair, nor of walk- 
ing without two Crutches; was advis’ by many of my Neighbours to 
make use of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops; at length, by their Persua- 
sions, I sent to Mr. Simon Martin, Bookseller in Leicester, (who is serv’d 
with these Drops from Dicey’s Original Warehouse in Northampton) 
one Bottle of which perform’d so speedy and miraculous a Cure, that in 
two Days Time I was perfectly well, and, by the Permission of God; 
I have continued so ever since. Witness my Hand, this 18th day of 
September, 1727.

The following is a Certificate of Cures done by Dr. Bateman’s 
Pectoral Drops at Bunny near Nottingham, and was gene- 
rously sent to be publish’d, at the Request of Sir Tho. Parkyns; 
of Bunny Park, Bart. one of his Majesty's Justices of the 
Peace for the County of Nottingham. 
Mr. Dicey, 
Bunny, Sept. 23, 1727. 
WE, whose Names are under-written, do hereby 
thankfully acknowledge, and freely under our Hands do certify, 
for the publick Good of our Fellow Sufferers, that thro’ the 
Assistance of Almighty God, and by the Advice of Sir Tho. Parkyns of 
Bunny Park, in the County of Nottingham, Bart. we have been lately 
cured, and are now perfectly well, of the present raging Distemper, viz. 
a violent Fever and Ague, by taking only two or three Bottles at the 
most of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, and, according to his Advice, 
we took four Days together successively, every Day about the same 
Time of the Day, one Spoonful (having first shaken the Bottle to make 
an equal Mixture of the Medicine) in a Glass of soft, smooth, mild, 
hot Ale; after which we forbore, and rested two Days; then we took 
again the third Day, and so on every other Day, as the Fit return’d, 
’till we were perfectly well, but were advis’d to take the third Day, and 
after, viz. the second taking, or second Bottle four or five Hours sooner 
than we did the first four Days, for then it gives a Check to the ap- 
proaching fit. One Bottle generally takes off the Distemper; but Sir 
Thomas advises taking another, if not two, to compleat and perfect the 
Cure. By these Drops, taken after the Method above, as he prescribes, 
he has cur’d Hundreds, while others, by Bleeding, Vomiting, and taking 
the Bark, lie dead, two of a Night, in some Families in these Parts. 
Note, The abovesaid Sir Thomas Parkyns have been so charitable as 
to buy several Parcels to give away to the poor sick Country Peoples 
and thereby have saved the Lives of Hundreds.

Mr.

[35] 
MR. John Lloyd, of the City of Coventry, desires 
the Publick may be inform'd, for a general Good to his Fellow 
Christians, that having labour’d under the tormenting Pains of 
the Rheumatism for above three Quarters of a Year, and reduc’d so as 
not to be able to walk without Crutches, was (after all other Means had 
prov’d fruitless) perfectly cured by taking only one Bottle of Dr. Bate- 
man’s Pectoral Drops, which he bought of Mr. William Ratten, Book- 
seller in Coventry.—The same Letter brings several other Accounts 
of remarkable Cures perform’d by the said Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral 
Drops in the present raging new Distemper, which has so long baffled the 
greatest Skill of our ablest Physicians, viz. the new Fever and Ague, &c. 
for whose Name and Places of Abode we refer to the above William 
Ratten, they being too long to be inserted here. 
From Huntingdon we are assured under the Hands 
of seveal of the principal Inhabitants, that John Musgrave, of 
Huntingdon aforesaid, had been for six or seven Weeks afflicted with 
this new Distemper, attended with a vehement Pain, from which he was 
entirely restor’d by one Bottle, which he had of Mr. Barton, Bookseller 
in the said Town; to whom we also refer for several other Testimonies 
of Cures done by the said Drops in his Neighbourhood. 
From Brigstock, in Northamptonshire, we have the 
following Account of three several Persons, viz. John Willomot, 
Elizabeth Willomot, and Rose Boodger of Brigstock aforesaid, the two 
former of which were reduc’d past all Help in themselves, and had been 
in that miserable Condition at Times for several Years, yet were per- 
fectly cured by taking three Bottles each; and Rose Boodger, who was 
constantly attended with a violent Stitch and Pain in her Side, by which 
her Life was often despair’d of, was very suddenly and entirely cured by 
taking one Bottle of the above Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, which she had 
of Mr. John Miller, Grocer in Brigstock, who will readily direct all 
those who shall, for a farther Satisfaction, give themselves the Trouble 
to enquire for the Names of many other Persons in his Neighbourhood, 
who have receiv’d Benefit, and been perfectly cure, when all other Me- 
thods have failed, by the above Drops. 
I George Green, of Oving, in the County of Bucks, 
Yeoman, do hereby freely under my Hand certify, that having been 
for a long Time violently afflicted with the present raging Distemper, 
viz. a violent Fever attended with an Ague; and being advised by my 
Neighbours to make use of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, I sent for 
one Bottle thereof from Mr. Burnham’s in Ailesbury, which performed 
a very speedy and miraculous Cure on me, the abovesaid George Green, 
and by the Permission of God, I have continued very well ever since. 
Witness my Hand, this 7th Day of October, 1727,

I Henry Croxall, of Kilby, in the County of Leicester, 
having for this Month past been afflicted with a Fever, and having 
daily instances of the vast Success and immediate Relief that my 
Neighbours met with in the like Distemper, by their making use of 
Dr. Bateman’s Drops only, in need me to make use of the same Medi- 
cine, (which I bought of Mr. Simon Martin, Bookseller in Leicester} 
and by taking of one Bottle only was perfectly cur’d. The Truth of 
this Certificate is attested by me,  
October 21, 1727.

Middleton-Stony Nov. 28, 1727. 
I Elizabeth Williams, of Middleton-Stony, in the 
County of Oxford, for the Benefit of my Fellow Sufferers, do hereby 
certify under my Hand, that having been violently afflicted with the 
Rheumatism, so seven Years last past, in my Arms and Legs, an hav- 
ing taken many Medicines, to little Purpose, was at last prevail’d upon to 
take Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, (sold by Mr. Paul Stevens, Grocer 
in Bicester) two Bottles of which made a perfect Cure of me; since 
which I have experiene’d it in the Cholick and Stone, (Distempers I am 
very much troubled with) in both which it had admirable Effects, which 
I am ready to testify to any that shall desire it. Likewise being lately 
afflicted with the present raging Distemper, viz. a violent Fever attended 
with an Ague, I was perfectly cured thereof, by only taking one Bottle 
of the aforesaid Pectoral Drops, and am at the Writing hereof in a 
good State of Health, for which I return publick Thanks to the Divine 
Being, and desire this may be made publick, for a general Good, and as 
a Means, if possible, to stop the Mouths of such evil and envious Persons, 
who, on purpose to advance their own Trade, have done all they can to 
depreciate or lessen the great Virtues of this excellent Medicine. Wit- 
ness my Hand, 
Eliz. Williams. 
I Samuel Townsend, of Frolesworth, in the County 
of Leicester, having been, for these two Years past, very much trou- 
bled with a Stoppage and Pain in my Stomach, and Shortness of 
Breath, so that I was not able to go out of one Room into another, 
and having such Pains in my Limbs, that I was not able to do any Man- 
ner of Work; an being swell’d all over to such a Degree, that most of 
my Neighbours thought I could not recover; and having had the Ad- 
vice of several Physicians without any Benefit, I was at last advised to 
take some of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, (which I bought of Mr. 
Caleb Ratten, Bookseller, at his Shop in Lutterworth) and by taking 
of them, thro’ the Blessing of God, I was very soon restored to my 
former Health, and am now capable of following my Business as usual.
Witness my Hand, 
Samuel Townsend.
William Walker, Blacksmith, of Ravensden, near 
Bedford, being afflicted in a violent Manner, insomuch that his 
Life was despair’d of, with the Ague and Fever, for which no 
Help could be found, ’till he had sent to Mr. Maddy, Grocer in Bedford, 
for a Bottle of Dr. Bateman’s Drops; two Bottles only carried off both 
Ague and Fever, by which he so suddenly recover’d his former Health 
and Strength, that it was look’d upon by all that knew his great Weak- 
ness by his long Illness, as a very miraculous Cure. 
Some Time after his Wife fell ill of the same Distemper, and was im- 
mediately relieved and cured by the same Drops. 
Middleton-Stony, Dec. 10, 1727. 
I John Molt, of Calcut, in the Parish of Harford- 
Ponton, and County of Oxford, late residing at Middleton-Stony in 
the said County, was there violently seiz’d with the present raging 
Distemper, viz. a Fever attended with an Ague, which by the long 
Continuance thereof, render’d me so weak, that my Life was despair’d 
of by my Physician, who told me, that if his last Medicine had not its de- 
sire’d Effect, I was a dead Man. But at last I was happily advis’d by 
some

[37]
some Friends, who had experimentally found Relief under the like Dis- 
tempers by Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops (sold by Mr. Paul Stevens, 
Grocer in Bicester) to make Trial thereof, which I, to my great Com- 
fort did; and was by taking only one Bottle, perfectly cured, and am now, 
(blessed be God) in as good Health as ever I was in my Life. The Truth 
hereof I am ready to testify to any one, and desire this may be made 
publick for the Benefit of my Fellow-Sufferers. Witness my Hand, 
John Molt. 
I William Chandler of Aylesbury, in the County of 
Bucks, Baker, having for these 16 Weeks last past, been very much 
troubled with violent Pains in my Side, and other Parts of my Body, to 
such a violent Degree and Agony, that it threw me into a Fever, which 
obliged me to keep my Bed almost 14 Weeks; and also having a very 
great Shortness of Breath at the same time, that my Life was despair- 
ed of, I took Abundance of Things for my Relief, but to no Purpose, 
for I could receive no Benefit: At last I was advis’d to send for some of 
Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, which I had at Mrs. Burnham’s in Ay- 
lesbury aforesaid, who sells the said Drops; and in two Days Time I 
found the greatest Ease imaginable, and could walk about tolerably well. 
I therefore made use of the Remainder of one Bottle only, which I thank
God, has entirely brought me to my former Health. This will be readi- 
ly attested by several of the Neighbours, and faithfully and freely declar- 
ed by myself. Witness my Hand, 
Dec. 16, 1727.

I Thomas Bingham,, of Crick, in the County of Nor- 
thampton, do hereby certify. That my Wife having been a long 
Time afflicted with the Fever and Cholick, about a Quarter of a Year 
since, was perfectly cured by two Bottles of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, 
bought at John Parker’s in Crick, altho’ I never expected her Life a 
Day to an End, I desire it to be published for the good of others.
MR. Samuel Keens, Farmer of Olney, within 7 
Miles of Northampton, being for many Years very constantly 
and grievously afflicted with the Cholick, from which he could never get 
reliev’d, altho’ he had try’d all the Advice that could be had to a great 
Expence, declares. That he look’d upon it as the wonderful Hand of 
God directing him to make Trial of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, 2 
Bottles of which, at one Shilling each, had such Influence over that 
habituated Distemper in him, that it instantly brought away from him 
upwards of 29 Stones, most of them as big as Horse-Beans. This be- 
ing so miraculous and speedy a Cure, he could not but think himself in 
Duty bound to make a publick Acknowledgment of the great Mercies, 
he had received thereby.

I Jacob Bothom, of Aston upon Trent, Derbyshire, 
for the Good of my Fellow-Sufferers, do freely, certify, that I am

Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, which I bought of Jeremiah Roe in Derby.

certify, that in the latter end of November last, being violently af- 
flicted with the New Fever (which hath raged so much in the Neigh- 
bourhood) and finding little or no Advantage by Purging, Blistering, &c. 
I bought a Bottle of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops of Jeremiah Roe, 
Bookseller in Derby, which not only perfectly cured me of the Fever, 
but also removed a violent Cough which attended it, and gave me so 
much Uneasiness, that I could get but very little Sleep for many Nights 
together. Witness my Hand, 
John Higginbothom. 
I Henry Soare, in the Market-Place, Derby, do de- 
clare for the Good of my Fellow Christians, that I was, for the 
Space of three Months, very much afflicted with the Ague and Fever 
for ten or eleven Hours every Day; I had also a violent Pain at my Sto- 
mach, and my Legs were so much swelled, so that both in my own Ap- 
prehension, and that of many others, I was in a very dangerous State of 
Health; yet, thro’ the Blessing of God, I was perfectly cured by taking 
two Bottles of Dr. Bateman’s Drops, which I bought of Jer. Roe, in 
Derby, and which I took every Night, without Intermission, for eight 
or nine Nights together.

Joseph Blood, in the aforesaid Market-Place, doth also certify, that 
he was cured of an Ague and Fever by taking of Dr. Bateman’s Pecto- 
ral Drops, 
MR. Daniel Field, Wheelwright in St, Albans, was 
so grieviously afflicted with the Rhematism, that he could not in 
any wise follow his Business, nor could he get any Relief, from his Pains, 
'till he had taken a Bottle of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops (bought of 
Anthony Thorp at the Clock-House in St. Albans) which perfectly re- 
stored him to his former Health and Strength. 
MRs. Mary Brownfell, of St. Peter's Parish in St. 
Albans, had lain a long Time in violent Pains in her Limbs, by 
which miserable Condition she was Day and Night disturb’d of all 
Rest, and could not get any Ease or Cure for the same, ’till she had 
taken a Bottle of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, price one Shilling each 
Bottle (which she also had of the said Anthony Thorp) which instantly 
gave her Ease, and soon cured her of all her Pain, and restor’d her to 
as good State of Health as ever she enjoy’d in her Life. 
MR. Todd, Taylor of Olney within seven Miles of 
Northampton, had a Child between three and four Years old, 
which had the Use of its Limbs entirely taken away, and was so full of 
Pain, that it would not suffer itself to be stirr’d or so much as touch’d, 
without crying out in a dreadful manner: It had also a very great Swell- 
ing in one Side of the Face, insomuch that one Eye was entirely swell’d 
up, and a sore swell’d Hand. The Parents of the said Child were pre- 
vail’d upon to try a Bottle of Dr. Bateman’s Drops, which to Admira- 
tion reliev’d the Child, an in the taking three Bottles all the Pains and 
Swellings left it, and the Child contrary to every Body’s Expectation,
recover’d immediately its Health and Strength.

Original Wholesale Warehouse in Northampton) by many Friends, some 
of which had happily experienced thereof in the same Distemper of the 
Fever, &c. and in taking two or three Bottles, I was perfectly cured, 
and am at this Present Instant in as good State of Health as ever I was

same; and altho’ it hath been above 18 Months since, he has not had

Limbs, attended with a Sort of Fever; and having read of daily In- 
stances of Cures performed by Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, in the 
Northampton Mercury, induced me immediately to make Trial thereof. 
I therefore sent for a Bottle of the said Drops from Mrs. Burnham’s in 
the said Town of Aylesbury, who sells the same, and by taking there- 
of, am perfectly cured of the said Distemper. The Truth of this Cer- 
tificate is attested by my Husband and myself, and will readily be attested

I consulted the ablest Physicians to a very great Expence, but no Relief, 
at length Mr. Gabriel Hughs of this Town advised, me to take a Bottle 
of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, [sold by Virtue of a Royal Grant un- 
der the Great Seal of Great Britain] which having done, my Pains soon 
fled and I could walk even without a Stick, and am [Blessed be God] as

man’s Pectoral Drops, which instantly gave her Ease, and intirely freed 
her from all Pains, whereby she recover’d a perfect State of Health. 
For the Good of the Publick. 
221. MR. John Phillips, and his Wife of Great Cro- 
aton, near Alcester,in the County of Warwick, do here- 
by declare, that having been afflicted with Rheumatick Pains, so as not 
to be able to do any manner of Business, could never be reliev’d there- 
from; ’till, by the Advice of some Neighbours (who had experienc’d 
Relief in the like Cases) they made Use of a Medicine call’d, Dr. Bate- 
man’s Pectoral Drops, which they bought of Mr. E. Cooke, Bookseller, 
in Stratford upon Avon; and on taking a few Bottles, their Pains entire- 
ly and suddenly left them, to the Astonishment of many that knew their 
Case. 
222. I John Scott, Wine-Coooper, in Cambridge, 
having been many Years last past, terribly afflicted with the 
Gout, Stone, and Gravel, insomuch that I can’t say I have 
been free from the beginning of the Year to the end thereof, with fre- 
quent Returns of violent Pains, &c. so as to make me keep my Bed, and 
incapacitate me for Business, and was forc’d, at the best, to be carry’d 
about in a Chair: Having some Years ago heard of the incomparable 
Medicine, call’d Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, having had many 
Dozens thereof from my Friend and Neighbour, Dalby Mart, Gold- 
smith; and in the most violent Pains have found and do find more Ease 
from that Excellent Medicine, than from any Thing that e'er I took, 
tho’ I have try’d many Things, to a very great Expence. 
N. B. I have by me many Gravel Stones, and some of them very 
large. that this valuable Medicine has, by the Blessing of God, been 
a Means of bringing away from me. 
The above-written I desire may be made publick, for the Ease and 
Benefit of others who may be afficted as myself.

November 3, 1733. 
For the Benefit of such as labour under the like 
Afflictions
223 I Anne, Wife of William Clarke, of Swinford, 
in the County of Leicester, do hereby declare, that having long 
lain in miserable Pain and Torture, and reduced so weak there- 
by (notwithstanding I had the best Advice in our Neighbourhood) that 
I could no Ways help myself, but was obliged to be carry’d to and from 
Bed, in which Condition I lay, when I was advised to (finding no Help 
by all the Perscriptions I had taken) to make Trial of Dr. Bateman’s 
Pectoral Drops, publish’d by Command of the King’s Royal Letters 
Patents, under the Great Seal of England, and sold in these Parts by 
Virtue thereof, at Mr. Brown’s, Shopkeeper in Wellford; three Bottles 
whereof remov’d all my Pains, recover’d me the Use of my Limbs, and 
brought me to my Stomach, which was quite depraved by my long and 
tedious Illness; and I thank God I am restored to as good State of 
Health as ever I enjoyed in my Life. 
224. Joseph Brand, of the Parish of St. Saviour, South- 
wark, Waterman, maketh Oath, that about the beginning of 
December last, he, this Deponent, was taken with a Shivering in all his 
Limbs, accompany’d with a Cough; at the same Time complaining of 
an Oppression, or something lying like a Lump at the Pit of his Sto- 
mach, with a violent Pain in his Side. His Case being uncommon, 
this Deponent was advised to make Use of the Bagnio, which he did, 
and took large Quantities of Physical Doses, prescrib’d by some of the 
most eminent Physicians and Apothecaries in London; but all prov’d in- 
effectual to remove the Cause, or to give him any lasting Relief. Some- 
times indeed, he brought up some Pieces of Skin and Blood, which gave 
him few Minutes Ease; but his Pains soon returned with the utmost Vi- 
olence. In this Condition he continued, till he was brought even to 
Death’s Door; and given over as Irrecoverable, still vomiting, coughing, 
straining, and spiting of Blood. At last, by Advice, he took some of 
Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, which had the most happy Effect. 
The first Bottle he took made him rest in the Night, and eased his 
Cough; the second gave him the same Relief; and having taken one 
Spoonful of the third Bottle, brought up a large Bag of Blood and Cor- 
ruption, to the Quantity of about three Pints; immediately upon which 
his Pains vanish’d, his Cough ceased, he recovered apace, and is now in 
as good a State of Health as ever he was in his Life. His Distemper 
was then found to be an Imposthume in his Stomach, occasioned by over- 
straining himself in carrying heavy Burthens.

William Billers, Mayor.
225. I Thomas Linforth, of Atherstone, in the Coun- 
ty of Warwick, was afflicted in so violent a manner with the 
Rheumatism, that for two Months together I was not able to 
Help myself, and could not be reliev’d therefrom, untill taking one single 
Dose of Dr. Bateman’s Drops, I found immediate ease, and in taking 
two Bottles, which I had of Mr. F. Burgess, Shopkeeper in Atherstone. 
aforesaid, was perfectly cured. Witness my Hand, 
Thomas Linforth.

[60] 
226. WHereas I William Parrot, of Newport-Pagnell, 
in the County of Bucks, have for a long time past been 
grievously troubled with the Rheumatism, and thereby ren- 
der’d incapable of Business, and could have no redress from several Me- 
dicines I had taken for that purpose; was at length recommended to 
take Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, a few Bottles of which carry’d off 
all my Pains, and recovered me to my former strength and I am now as 
well as ever I was in my Life. Witness my Hand, 
William Parrot. 
227. WHereas I Mary Brice, living in the Liberty 
of Ramsdon, near Whitney in the County Oxford, have 
for a long time past being greviously afflicted with a Pain 
in my Stomach, and could have no Redress from the several Medicines I 
had taken by the best Advice I could get for that Purpose; was at 
length advised by a Person who had made use of the same Medicine, to 
take some of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, (sold by John Lardner of 
Ramsdon) one Bottle of which made a perfect Cure on me, and I am (I 
give God thanks) as well as ever I was in my Life. Witness my 
Hand,
Mary Brice. 
228. MR. Henry Bagley, Bell-Founder, of Whitney, 
Oxfordshire, being for upwards of two Months very much 
afflicted with a violent Cold, attended with a strong and 
burning Fever, which baffled all Attempts of Cure, and at length sett- 
ling in his Legs, turn’d them as green as Grass, and rendered him past 
doing any Manner of Business; But recollecting that he had been cured, 
after he was given over and his Life despaired of, of a grievous Fever and 
raging Distemper which spread itself thro’ most Parts of the Kingdom 
about 10 or 11 Years ago, by taking Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, he 
immediately sent for a Bottle thereof in his present Case, and finding 
present Ease thereby, he continued repeating the Dose according to Di- 
rection, and a few Bottles brought him to as perfect a State of Health as 
ever he enjoy’d in his Life. 
This sudden and extraordinary Cure, at so small an Expence, as four 
Shillings, induced him to desire that the same might be made publick, 
for the Good of such (especially the Poor) who may be under any the 
like Misfortunes. 
SIR, 
229. BEing desirous of communicating (for a Publick 
Good) the Benefit I have receiv’d in my Family by Dr. 
Bateman’s Pectoral Drops. when all other Medicines had prov’d unsuccess- 
ful; I send you the following Testimony, desiring it should be publish’d 
to the World, for the Satisfaction of such as may stand in need of the 
like Remedy.

My Daughter, aged about 15 Years, being suddealy taken with a Pain 
in her Stomach, to which soon succeded violent and racking Pains in her 
Limbs and Joints, insomuch that she had very little Help of herself, 
nor could she be eased or recovered by any Medicine or Advice which
could 

[61]
could be procured, but continued in this deplorable Condition between 
five and six Years; and when I was even without Hopes of having any 
certain Help for her, I was prevail’d on by a Neighbour who had found 
great Satisfaction in taking the above Drops, to make Tryal thereof, 
which being comply’d with, and she finding Ease in her Pains by the 
very first Dose, I continued giving it her according to Direction, and be- 
fore she had taken half a Dozen Bottles (which cost me but Six Shillings) 
She was perfectly reliev’d from all her Pains, and recover’d her Strength 
and Health as well as ever she was in her Life.

SIR, 
230. I Cannot but conceive myself much under Obliga- 
tion to you for the Health I now enjoy, and know not by 
which way to recompence you, and at the same time do an Action of 
Goodness to the Publick, in a better Method than assuring you, that the 
Beginning of April last I was afflicted with a most vehement Cold at- 
tended with grievous and violent Pains in my Limbs and Joints, which 
I could not, tho’ I had try’d all the Help I could procure, get relieved 
from, but remained in a miserable State, untill the Use of my Limbs 
were wholly gone, and I even despaired of Life; when happily being 
advised to the Tryal of your Drops, the first Dose gave me much Ease, 
and continuing a few Days taking thereof, I was perfectly eased of all 
Pains, and the Use of my Limbs restored. This being publish’d at my 
Request, may be of some Service to you, but I believe of much more 
Advantage to such as may be Sufferers under the like Calamities, which 
will fully answer the Desire of,

Gosford Street, Coventry, Oct. 16, 1738.
SIR, 
231. WHereas about 10 Months since I was seiz’d with 
a vehement Cold, which brought on a Numbness and Pain 
in divers Parts of my Body, to that Degree, that the 
whole Use of my Limbs was taken from me, and thereby oblig’d me to 
keep my Bed; and having, in the Space of between two and three Months 
taken Abundance of Prescriptions, and not finding any Redress, I try’d a 
Bottle of Dr. Bateman’s Drops, which I bought of Mr. Ratten, Book- 
seller in this City; by the first Dose I found a Warmth in those Parts 
that before were numb’d and chill’d, and some Ease from my Pains, by 
which I proceeded and continued taking the said Drops, and in about 
three Bottles, which cost me but three Shillings, I found myself able to 
come down Stairs, do my usual Business, and was soon perfectly restor’d 
to my Health by these Drops only. As witness my Hand, 
William Smith.

SIR, 
232. HAVING frequently seen the Effects of Dr. 
Bateman’s Pectoral Drops for many Years past, and parti- 
cularly the under, I believe it incumbent on me to acquaint you thereof, 
and convince, if the same was made publick, that many poor Sufferers 
who labour under the like Misfortune might find a much easer and speedier 
Cure than they generally meet with. The Case was as follows: 
A poor Woman, about 57 Years old, who had been a long Time af- 
flicted with the Rheumatism, and tried many Medicines, and reduced 
herself to the greatest Straits and Necessity by the continual Expence 
thereof, and being no longer able to support herself, without Help, was 
brought in a Cart to the Workhouse in this Town, (whereof I am 
Master) Where, as one of the cheapest and experienced Remedies, a 
Dose of Dr. Bateman’s Pectloral Drops was given her, the good Effects 
of which we soon saw, and in taking a few Bottles she perfectly reco- 
vered.

Innumerable Instances of Cures effected by these Drops might daily 
be given; but as we can’t in publick Papers exceed the Bounds of an 
Advertisement, we are obliged to refer for further Satisfaction to such 
creditable Shop-keepers who sell the same, where they will meet with 
such undeniable Testimonies of its continual Success from Persons of 
Worth and Reputation, as will surprize the most curious. 
Gosford-Street, Coventry, March 25, 1739.
SIR, 
233. As I have often seen advertised in yours and 
other News Papers, Testifications of Good receiv’d by 
the taking Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, and as some of 
my Neighbours have of late, as well as heretofore, shown me an Exam- 
ple of a Publick Spirit in recommending so cheap and useful a Medicine 
to such as cannot afford the Expence of Doctors, &c. I conclude I ought 
not to secrete from the World the Good and Satisfaction I have received 
by the said Drops, at a Time when all other Things I had taken were 
of no manner of Use: Therefore I hereby assure you, and thereby, I 
hope, the Publick also, that some Months since being taken with ex- 
treme pains in my Limbs, I endeavour’d by all Means to get reliev’d 
therefrom; but my Pains still continuing and encreasing, took from me 
the Use of my Limbs in such a Manner, that I had no Help of myself 
for three Months together; in which languishing Condition of Pain and 
Weakness, a Neighbour of mine advis’d me to take one Spoonful of the 
above Drops, which having comply’d with, I found great Ease in less 
than Half an Hour, which encourag’d me to continue taking thereof; 
and before I had us’d three Bottles, which cost but three Shillings, my 
Pains left me, my natural Rest return’d, and I was perfectly recover'd, 
to the Surprize of such as had seen the deplorable State I had labour’d 
under.

234. I John Legate, Carpenter, at the Three Pidgeons 
in Bedford-Street, Covent-Garden, having been for a long 
Time troubled with the Stone and Gravel, do hereby declare. 
That by taking but one Bottle of Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops. I 
voided not only a vast Quantity of Sand and Gravel, but several Stones 
of a very uncommon Size, some as big as Horse Beans. I desire this 
may be publish’d for the Good of my Fellow-Creatures.

Witness my Hand, 
John Legate.
235. MR. James Long, at the Queen’s-Head, 
near White-Chapel Church, declares, that both himself and 
his Wife had been troubled with the Rheumatism, and in a 
very bad Condition; but were both cured by taking but two Bottles of 
Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops. This he is ready to testify upon Oath, as 
declared, June 7, 1725. 
236. WHereas I Martha Moor, was afflicted 
with an Ague and Fever from October 1727 to February 1728, 
which brought me so low that I was not capable of doing any Business, so 
that I was oblig’d to keep my Chamber and have a Doctor, but nothing did 
me any good till I took Dr. Bateman’s Drops, little more than one Bottle 
of which cured me intirely, 
Martha Moor. 
[illustration] Upon this Success I sent a Bottle of it to my Brother Thomas Moor at 
Nelson in Leicestershire, who had been in my Condition above 6 Months, 
which Bottle had the intended good Effect. Enquire of Mr Moor, Silver- 
Smith, by St. Ann's Church Aldersgate, 
237. MRs. Wallis, Wife Mr. Wallis, Silk- 
Dyer in Allen Street near Goswell-Street, was afflicted with the 
Rheumatism in her Hands and Limbs, for a considerable Time; 
but in April 1728, was so disabled by it all over her, that she could not walk 
a-cross the Room, however, upon taking one Bottle of these Drops she was 
perfectly cured, and declares she is as well as ever she was in her Life. 
238. MR. John Gent, at the Corner of Rose- 
Lane and Fashion-street, Spittlefields, was grievously af- 
flicted with the Rheumatism for a long Time, and found 
no Relief by any thing but Bateman’s Drops, which carried it off, so that 
it has not returned. He was some time after seiz’d with a gallopping Con- 
sumption, attended with cold Sweats and restless Nights, which soon brought 
him low that he could hardly go about, but taking his former Medicine, it 
soon, and almost unexpectedly, restor’d him to his wonted strength and Vigour, 
both which surprizing Cures were effected by four Bottles. He keeps some al- 
ways by him. 
239. For the Stone and Gravel, if any doubt the 
good Effect these Drops have therein, they may enquire of Mr. 
Crook, Brandyman, in Grub-street, who when the Doctors could give him no 
Relief, in a violent Fit, he received immediate Ease by one Dose of these 
Drops, which a Neighbour who had experienced thereof ran and fetch'd him. 
He afterwards took another Dose, and is as well as ever he was in his Life.

240. I Robert Hawkins, Porter, near the Angel 
Inn, in Angel-street, London, (where I have liv’d for above 
40 Years) having been long troub’ed with the most racking Pains 
of the Gout and Rheumatism; and so very ill, that I was not able to walk 
accross my Chamber without Crutches; and reading in the News Papers of 
a Medicine call'd, Dr. Bateman’s Pectoral Drops, which had done Wonders 
so many in my Case, I sent for one Bottle, (tho’ without hopes of Suc- 
cess) the two first Doses of which, caused such an Alteration in me, that I 
was able, the third Day after, to go to the Place where the said Drops were 
bought, and enquire after the Author of this noble Medicine, to return him 
(under God) Thanks for my safe Deliverance from the deplorable Distemper; 
I being now as well as ever I was in my Life. This I am ready to testify 
upon Oath, if required. 
Witness my Hand, 
Robert Hawkins. 
241. A Child at the Two Brewers in Hoxton, 
near London, was extreamly weak, and worn to a meer Ske- 
leton, occasion’d by an intermitting Fever; one Bottle of the aforefaid Drops, 
made a perfect Cure of it, to the great Surprize of all the Neighbours, by 
whom the same will be attested. 
242. Mrs. Elizabeth Hull, of Islington, (aged 
70 Years) desires it might be made publick. That she had been 
a long time troubled with the Gout and Rheumatism, and was 
cured by taking only three Bottles of the above Drops.

Enquire at the Cheesemonger’s in Ivey Lane. 
243. MR. Gamage near Duke-Shore Lime house, 
by taking two Doses of these Drops, had a most violent Fever re- 
moved, and when by going out too soon, and taking Cold again, it retur- 
ned in Part, by repeating the Medicine, it was entirely carried off. 
244. MR. Robert Chaney of Duke-Shore Lime- 
house, who has had a confirmed Gout for many Years, and 
is often laid up several Months, finds the greatest Service in 
this Medicine above any others, of which he has try'd Numbers, keeping it 
out of his Stomach, and giving him Ease and Rest in the Acutest Pains; for 
which Reason he keeps a Quantity always by him, for his own Use in this 
Distemper, and to serve the Neighbourhood in any of the abovemention’d. 
245. Having for a long time been violently 
troubled with the Gout and Rheumatism, I was advised to make 
use of Dr. Bateman’s Drops, which I did, and, to my great Surprize, and 
the Wonder of my Friends, in two Hours I found so much Ease, that I 
thought my self in Paradice; and (blessed be God) by taking but one Bot- 
tle of these Drops I am perfectly cur’d. Yet seeing in the Directions given 
with the aforesaid Drops) that it was good in many other Cases, I sent for 
another Bottle for a Neighbour that was troubled with the Stone and Gra- 
vel, the first Dose whereof occasion’d him to void a vast Quantity of Slime 
and Gravel; and he is now, as well as ever he was in his Life. I desire 
you’d publish this for the Good of my Country. I am to be heard of at 
the White Hart, near the Horse Ferry in Chelsea.
