Portrait of Dr. William Atkins. A biography here: page 3, excerpt: "Among the first-rate of these empirics may rank William Atkins, "whose renovating elixir restored pristine youth and vigour to the patient, however old or decayed," and whose vivifying drops infallibly cured imbecility in men and barrenness in women; he resided in the Old Bailey, and was (in his own conceit) the Solomon of the day; his bills exceeded all others in extravagant assertions and impudence; he even had the audacity to declare he had raised a woman from a fit of the dead palsy, and rendered her capable of walking immediately. This wonderful great man was short in stature, fat, and waddled as he walked; he always wore a white, three-tailed wig, nicely combed and frizzed upon each cheek. He generally carried a cane, but a hat never." In the Old Bailey records, a William Atkinds was sentenced to death in 1679 [1] for being a pickpocket and a practitioner. |
