Transcription

Cheshire writes to Sloane as the President of the College of Physicians and the Royal Society and as a gentleman who investigates the causes and applies suitable remedies for the conquest of diseases. He writes about a pill that has his curiosity and he cannot discover the composition or a medicine to take in the same volume. He asks Sloane if he could make a trial of them or try to discover what they are made of, to be sure of no quackery. John Cheshire, MD of Leicester
