Our Soveraign Lord considering that the Medicinal Pill invented by the deceast Doctor Patrick Anderson Physician to His Majesties dearest Father King Charles the First of ever blessed Memory hath by Experience been found to be a most useful and safe Medicine which hath recommended that Pill not only to His Majesties Subjects in the Kingdom of Scotland but likewise it hath been used in the Kingdoms of England Ireland and other places in Europe and that it is very much the interest of His Majesties Subjects and others that the Skill and Art of Preparing and Compounding that Pill be preserved intire and that Counterfeit Sofisticat and Adulterat Pills be not imposed upon Persons under the notion of this Pill which is so universally known and used And His Majesty considering that the Secret and Skill in preparing this Pill was only communicated by Doctor Anderson to his two Daughters with power only to the Surviver of them to communicat and transmit that secret to some fit and qualified Person and that the deceased Katharine Anderson the said Doctors surviving Daughter hath communicat to Thomas Weir Chirurgeon in Edinburgh the whole Secret and Skill in Preparing and Compounding the aforesaid Pill and hath sufficiently instructed and seen him Prepare and Compound and make up that Pill as well as ever it was by Doctor Anderson or his Daughters aforesaid And that the said deceased Katharine Anderson hath by her Assignation dated the Fifeteen day of December last by-past Assigned and Disponed to the said Thomas VVeir her Stamp for the Directions and Seal for the Boxes with all other Vessels Materials and Instruments for Compounding Preparing and Making up the said Pills and that the said deceast Katharine Anderson doth thereby declare that she hath communicated and transmitted that secret of Preparing and Compounding the said Pill to the said Thomas Weir and no other person And considering that there is none else to whom that secret is communicated or the Art of Preparing and Compounding the said Pill is committed and that notwithstanding thereof there are several persons who have already and are of intention to feinÈie and counterfeit the said Pill and to disperse the same with Printed Papers and otherways under the name of the said Pill commonly called Doctor Andersons Pills Albeit the secret of Preparing and Compounding thereof was never communicated to them or to any other person now on life except the said Thomas Weir which if not prevented might prove very dangerous and prejudicial to His Majesties Liedges and others through making use of any counterfeit Sofisticat and Adulterat Pills and would much discourage the said Thomas Weir who hath only the secret of Preparing and Compounding thereof to him communicated by the said Katharine Anderson who Assigned and Disponed to him the said Stamp and Seal with all other Vessels and Instruments for Compounding and Dispensing of the said Pill in manner foresaid Therefore His Majesty Ordains a Letter of Gift to be past and exped under His Majesties Great Seal of His Ancient Kingdom of Scotland Giving Granting and Disponing as His Majesty for
