HERBS.
Herbs—the noblest Medicine in Nature, and much superior to all the artificial
inventions of Man.
H. ROBERTS,
MEDICINAL BOTANIST,
NEAR THE EPISCOPAL CHAPEL, UNION PLACE, NORWICH.
H. ROBERTS commenced his researches in Medical Botany in 1821, and prosecuted the study of Herbs with great success up to the present time. After thirty years’ practical experience he has made many valuable discoveries in the medicinal properties of English herbs, and has succeeded in restoring to health hundreds of his fellow creatures; many who had lost the use of their limbs. Joints fixed, and muscles contracted, have been effectually cured by medicine of British herbs, produced in great abundance on hills, woods, fields, and vallies. Experience teaches us that a remedy for every disease incident to our bodies is to be found among the herbs of our own country; and the great variety of cures performed by them is a confirmation of this statement. Physic had its origin in the uncultivated forests; and woods and fields are now the best and safest school for medical science; such is their extraordinary effect when applied to the cure of diseases, that to the most sceptical it must be a theme of blessing and admiration. The knowledge acquired by H. Roberts is not the visionary offspring of any false theory, but the result of extreme study, observation, and great experience. Puffing, and many other means of imposition, is too much the practice of the present day; and quacks are to be found in all societies, from the highest to the lowest; and he is the greatest impostor who takes the most money for doing the least good, though he may be called by the fascinating epithet of physician; it therefore behoves the public to be upon their guard, and to trust a man only in proportion to his experience and tested abilities to perform what he professes to do; but the best way to prove this is to examine his workmanship; and that the public may have an opportunity of doing so, H. Roberts submits to their notice the following list of cures—row in number, for want of room; they will bear the strictest investigation, and are indisputable, as the patients themselves can testify. Hundreds of similar cases are to be seen in a pamphlet just published by Mr. Roberts:—
BENJAMIN STRAINGE, Cow Keeper, St. James’s parish, Norwich, had a large tumour near his left ear, and several small tumours, also twenty-two holes in his neck; he applied to different medical practitioners, who informed him that his was a hopeless case. He then applied to Mr. Roberts, and received a most extraordinary cure.
Witness—Benjamin Strainge, and Elizabeth Strainge.
MOSES BUGG, St. Augustine’s parish, Norwich, was many years afflicted with an extremely bad case of sore leg; from his ancle to the upper part of the leg was covered with large scales, as big as the palm of a child’s hand. Several persons were consulted in this case, but all their knowledge proved of no avail. This extraordinary case was perfectly cured by H. Roberts.
Witness—Moses Bugg and Sarah Bugg.
Mrs. DE CAUX, St. Augustine’s, Norwich, had a large abscess, which cancered the whole of the left side of her face and neck. All that saw this case thought it would prove fatal. Perfectly cured by H. Roberts.
