On Monday last Mrs. Mapp, the famous Bone-Setter at Epsom, performed two extraordinary cures, the one was on a young lady of the Temple, who had been lame ever since she was two years of age, she had several bones out from her knees to her toes, which she put in their proper places.
At the same time a butcher in Newgate Market, who had his two knee-pans so misplaced, that he walked with his knees knocking one against another; she put them into their proper places, so that he walked upright before a great many gentlemen then present: This cure she perform’d gratis.
Yesterday she perform’d several other surprizing cures. She set out about 1 o’clock for Epsom, being much fatigued, and carried with her several crutches, which she calls Trophies of Honour. She declared in publick company at the Grecian Coffee House, Devereux Court, where the cures were perform’d, that a surgeon gave her some snuff, wherein was poyson, which she happily discovered and flung it into the fire; but what grounds she had for this, might be owning perhaps rather to apprehension than fact.
