Whilst looking for something else entirely I came across an advert placed in Billinges Advertiser by Solomon in April 1796. He claimed that Balm of Gilead could cure:-

"for the relief of nervous disorders, female complaints, weaknesses, loss of appetite, impurity of blood, headaches, relaxation, bilious cases, debility, indigestion, ill-cured lues, seminal weaknesses, coughs and colds, consumptions, lowness of spirits, scorbutic diseases, pains in the limbs, gleets etc etc etc".

Price was half a guinea a bottle, with the cordial composed of pure essence of virgin gold and foam of balsams.
