Pro Bono Publico.
To dissipate the heavy hours, and ease us of the burthen of
superfluous cash, it is said, we shall soon have a Bottle
Conjurer introduced among us-- who will come loaded with
Certificates, that he far surpasses everything that has gone
before him, since the Creation, in all the polite Modes of
Dress and Dissipation; in Luxury, Indolence and Folly; in
Buckism, Bloodism, and Macaronism; in feats of Horsemanship,
Racing, Betting, Tricks with Cards and Dice, &c. &c. &c.
Examples of which he will exhibit, and afterwards spring
into a Lady's Smelling-Bottle; and that he will be
accompanied by a Company of Comedians, a Puppet-Show Man, a
Quack Doctor, a Merry Andrew, and a person properly
qualified and impowered by Mrs. Marygold, of Battersea,
Spinster, to cut for the Simples.
