Description |
Trade card advertising 'Golden Eye-Water', England, 1780 ‘Golden Eye Water’ is recommended for all illnesses of the eyes, including poor vision and inflammation. It could be used as an eye wash or dripped into the eye using a feather as a dropper. It was guaranteed to have a long life. One bottle cost 1 shilling and 6 pence, equivalent to about £5 today – although discounts were offered for bulk purchases. Townly, who made and sold this secret preparation, claimed it was only available through him. He was well placed in his job as a nurseryman, where he looked after trees and plants, to get hold of the raw materials that made up his concoction. Medical Photographic Library |
