THE POST BOY, from London, dated September 1, 1709
* Early ad for dentists, teeth care and toothaches
* Unusual dental care medicine
* Rare title with nice masthead engraving
A very early & genuine single sheet newspaper from England, featuring two nice engravings in the masthead (see).
Various news reports from throughout Europe are on the front page and some of back page, most of a military nature, while most of the back page is taken up with advertisements. One of the ads is for an interesting and unusual patent medicine headed: "Sir Theodore Mayern's Opiat for the TEETH", the text of which begins:
"It makes them clean and white as Ivory, tho' never so black & fastens and preserves them from the Toothach and Scurvy; a little of it rubb'd on the Teeth and wash'd off every Morning, as has been experienc'd by many persons of quality..." with more (see photos).
Other interesting and unusual advertisements as well.
This is the complete newspaper as published. It measures 8 1/4 by 14 inches and is in excellent condition, printed on high-quality, rag-based newspaper as was done in the 18th century.
