    I ADVERTISEMENT. THAT the philanthropic purposes for which the present discovery is made public, may be fully answered, the sale of it is not confined to one Agent, 229, Strand, near Temple Bar; but it may be had of all the respectable Medicine Venders in Town and Country. In order also to accommodate the circumstances of every rank of society, the Bo r of Preventive is charged only 2.9. 9d. which is the smallest Price of any other Patent Medi¬ cine ; by this it will appear what are the Author's real benevolent intentions, that, by the general use of this Remedy, the disease may be, if pos¬ sible^ in a certain period of time, totally ex¬ terminated, in the same manner as the substitute for small Pox has so greatly curtailed the ra¬ vages of that dreadful malady since its disco¬ very and application by Doctor Jenner. * \ /
