Reading edition

WE whose Names are underwritten, finding by bodily Experience, as well as by the Testimony of many open-hearted and sound bottom’d Persons of both Sexes, the Virtues of the Prescriptions of our dear Cousin and profoundly Learned Dr. Don Fart in-hando Puff-in dorst, in all the Distempers mention’d in his excellent Treatise hereunto subjoin’d, do, for preventing any Breach in the Constitutions, of our Fellow Subjects, as also of our beloved and confederate Town of Gibralter, recommend a serious Perusal and uninterrupted Practice of the same from their several Bum Batteries. Given under our Hands, the 20th of this windy Month, March, 172⁶⁄₇.

Illustration from The benefit of farting explain'd: or, The fundament-all cause of the distempers incident to the fair sex inquir'd into : Proving à posteriori most of the disordures in-tail'd on them are owing to flatulencies not seasonably vented.
