CELEBRATED MR. MARTIN VAN BUTCHELL. * 200
Fistula- Patients-——Fee—is—according—to ability !
let those——who have much give-without grudging !
(—heavy guineas—down : I don’t like paper;—unless-
from the Bank of good old England.—) Plain folk—do
comply-—very readily : so shall—the gaudy :-or keep
their complaints ! Many-are in want—of food ;—and
raiment, for large families ; such,—will be made whole—■
just so speedily as the most wealthy ; “ that’s one right of
man,” and he shall have it: while God grants me health!
(—Philosophers—say—“ Mankind—-are equal:—and pure
religion—kindly—promotes—good.”—) Lofty ones—read
this,—then pause a little : down your dust—must lay; pro-
mises—won’t do i I can’t go away—to receive some pay from
other people!
Though to the abovementioned advertisements many cases
might be added, it is not less remarkable, that Mr. Van
Butchell has by no means availed himself either of the num-
ber, or the desperate nature of those that might have been
brought forward. It is however certain, that many of them
would astonish belief, or otherwise appear next to miraculous ;
but conscious, that in this account we have neither extenu-
ated nor aggravated any of the circumstances in the life of this
truly extraordinary character, we now leave them to the con-
sideration of every curious and candid reader.
London, June, 1803.
Particulars of a shocking Murder lately committed by
a Man of the Name of Hesketh, at Hollingwood in
Lancashire.
It appears that Hesketh was a man of property, and had
had several children (one only then living) by the deceased
woman, who dwelt with him in the double capacity of house-
keeper and mistress.—Frequent quarrels happening between
them, accompanied with blows, the neighbours seldom inter-
fered.
