Mainpiece Title: Cure Of The Spleen; Or, Shuter's Warehouse

Performance Comment: ["For the certain cure of the Spleen; Essence of Comicality prepared by Dr Shuter. There is no question but laughing will cure the most inveterate dulness: the ancients affirmed it, and the Cures Dr Shuter has lately performed in Ireland experience this truth. For the benefit of his own countrymen he once more has opened his Warehouse in the George Inn Yard, West Smithfield, where his friends may find a safe, easy and pleasant operation. For, as splenetic persons are apt to have bad distempers, and be miserably low-spirited at times, he, at once removes all obstructions, restores the muscles of the face to their usual tone of risbility, and gradually clears the countenance. The afflicted may depend on these effects. It is to be had as above, with printed directions, at the following prices, viz.: 2s. 6d.; 2s.; 18d.; 1s.; and 6d." This may be an advance notice. It is repeated on W., Th., F., S., and M., 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 Sept. in the Public Advertiser. The format parodies the advertisement, appearing frequently before, For the certain Cure of the Scurvy, Essence of Water Dock, Prepared by the Directions of Dr Hill. There is no question but this plant will cure the most inveterate Scurvy. The ancients will affirm it...It not only cures the skin of eruptions, but mends the whole constitution...The Afflicted may depend on these effects."] . 2s.; 18d.; 1s.; and 6d."

Song: I: Mattocks

Event Comment: The Duke's Company. It is not certain that this play was revived at this time, but Tom Essence, which was probably acted toward the end of August or in early September (it was licensed 4 Nov. 1676) contains a scene in "Malfey's Chamber," suggesting that a revival of The Duchess of Malfi had occurred not long before the production of Tom Essence. On the other hand, it should be noted that the cast in the edition of 1678 contains names which point to a much earlier production; for example, Cademan probably acted little after his injury in the summer of 1673 and Downes (Roscius Anglicanus, p. 35) states that Cogan and Price died ca. 1673-74
