Dr. Brodum, oculist and herbalist, (from Mecklengurgh [sic] Strelitz, in Germany) No. 19, Queen Street, Bloomsbury Square, respectfully acquaints the nobility, gentry, and the public in general, that he is returned to this metropolis, having entirely recruited his health; and though the Doctor is sensible that it is unusual for the Faculty in England to circulate accounts of cures through the medium of pamphlets, bills, &c. yet he feels himself perfectly justified in rendering the public his services; though contrary to the established custom. For why should the afflicted suffer on account of a form laid down by a particular description of men? Especially, having been urged thereto by some of his patients, who were given over as incurable by the Faculty, alledging that, ̀̀to withold a remedy from the afflicted, is, in fact, little less than murder.'' To establish the Doctor's scientific skill and goodness of heart, the following recreated persons, whom the Doctor has had the blessing to cure, have solicited to be published, that the world may be acquainted where to fly for relief: his admirable knowledge (through long experience) of different disorders, by the means of the urine, though sent to him from different counties, has established the Doctor's fame.
