THe Town being still imposed upon, and the publick Prints daily cramm'd with the fulsome Praises of infallible Specificks, Areana's, Italian Bolus's, and many other Quack Medicines, it is thought necessary to caution the Unwary against them; there being no Danger that the judicious Part of Mankind should be deceived by them. Why are these Medicines exposed to Sale at Toys-Shops, unless to skreen the Preparers of such notorious Cheats from the Resentment of injured People? Are the bell Physicians, or most eminent Surgeons, ashamed of their Prescriptions and Preparations? Must the Severe Affiction of an Impostor's Pocket induce Men to ruin their Constitutions? Can we believe that Charity for others deplorable Circumstances will prevail on such a one to publish what he dare not own? Are not the Degrees of the Veneral Disease various? Are not Mens Constitutions vastly different? Was there ever a Remedy always infallible? Do not the same things agree with one, and prove Poison to another? Or are there not a sufficient Number of able and experienced Physicians and surgons, who practice in Publick, and whose Credit depend upon their skill and Success? The most ingenions Prescription may sometimes fail: And will any one depend upon the Apparatus, or an unknown Author, who never sies you, or consults your Distemper, and who, when he has sufficiently cheated you, will refer you to the Advice of some able Surgeon? Shall a Man's Misery incline him to he credulous, and prevail upon him to make himself more miserable? Or can any one foolishly fear that a Surgeon will expose his Patient? For your own Sales, therefore apply to some Man of skill and Probity who appears to justify his Practice, and answer for its Success; such a one invites you to his House, the first on the Right-hand in Crane-Court near Fetter Lane in Fleet-Street, a Golden Heart and Lamp at the Door; who, from the most nauseous Degree of that unhappy Disease, will receive you to Health and Vigour, speedily and securely, without Salivation. Enquire for the Surgeon, who may be advised with any Morning till Twelve a Clock, and from Three to Ten at Night.

N.B. There being a young Surgeon in the same Court (to Prevent Mistakes) take Notice this is the first House on the Right Hand.
