The following advertisement appeared in the London papers during 1792:
From the Lincoln Mercury, May 4th 1792
Silk Willoughby near Folkingham, Lincolnshire
The following case is another memorable proof of the quick efficacy of Mr Spilsbury’s ANTI-SCORBUTIC DROPS, of Soho Square, London, substantiated in the person of Mr Thomas Holt, (servant to Mr Joseph Clifton, maltster) he being at Christmas last desperately afflicted with a scorbutic humour, owing to a violent surfeit which he got a few years back, and occasioned several large sores on his legs, arms, shoulders and different parts of his body, which had been very troublesome at times, and this winter quite disabled him from doing his work. He was advised to try MR SPILSBUTY’S DROPS, and applied to Messrs Ward and sons of Folkingham for a 5 shilling bottle; and on taking five of these bottles, his sores are quite healed up and his health so much better that he can do his work; yet means to continue a medicine, of which he has experienced so much benefit, sometime longer.
