MR. William Little, at the Sign of the Bell in St. John Street near Hick's Hall, London, was some Time in February 1747, taken ill of a Tertian, or Third Day Fever, which, in about seven Weeks, became a Quotidian or every Day Fever, and in July 1748, the Fever Fit always continued the whole Day, notwithstanding the Remedies made Use of. On Friday the 13th of the same Month, the Fever being then always continual, he took a Paper of Dr. JAMES's Fever Powder, from Mr. NEWBERY's, Bookseller in St. Paul's Church Yard, about Half an Hour after Two o' Clock in the Evening, which made him vomit once very easily, and purg'd him four Times, and then put him into a Breathing Sweat for two Hours. Upon this he miss'd his Fever Fit, which always used to return at Four in the Morning. The next Night he took a second Dose, which purg'd him thrice, and thus he repeated the Powder the two succeeding Nights, with much the same Effect. But from the first Dose he has had no Return of the Fever, and now continues in a perfect State of Health.
*** These Powders are sold only by J. NEWBERY, at the Bible and Sun in St. Paul's Church-yard, and at the Blue Ball in George Yard, Lombard-street, London, at Two Shillings and Six- pence the two Doses.
