The first page carrying remarks on Tea Loaf Sugar Moist Sugar Eggs and Spices with the last two annotated 'Experientia docet!'

'It is asserted by Lord Ponsonby's Agent that the patient is immediately cured before a Medical Man arrives.' This is dated 'June 24: 1849' and is followed by a note signed 'F. M. M.' reading 'The above receipt was given to me by a Man of the name of Poole a Poulterer at Alston near Cheltenham who saw it tried in his House by his Brother in Law who was seized with all the symptoms of Cholera and had the Medicine made up to be ready at a moment and was quite well and able to return to his home some miles distant perfectly recovered the next Morning.'
