SUMMARY
Internet Archive catalogue record for a dated 1750 printed pamphlet authored by Robert Turlington himself, verified by direct fetch. The record gives the full title, author (Turlington, Robert), a 1750 date, and a 62-page extent; the item's OCR full text was fetched directly on 2026-08-02 and establishes a negative result that matters for attribution: this edition does NOT contain the broadened promotional passage quoted in the case, and contains no occurrence of 'asthmatical' or 'nervous' at all. It reproduces the patent's own narrower list of conditions -- stone, gravel, cholic, and inward weakness -- followed by testimonial letters. The quoted passage in this bundle is therefore sourced to the 2025 Australian Pharmacist secondary account (dayton-turlington-balsam-australian-pharmacist-2025), which describes a 46-page pamphlet and gives no edition date, and this record is used to establish that a dated 1750 edition of Turlington's own pamphlet survives -- NOT to date the quoted passage.
NOTES
An Internet Archive catalogue record for a dated 1750 edition of Robert Turlington’s own promotional pamphlet for Balsam of Life, digitized from microfilm. Cited in this case to establish the existence and date of a surviving Turlington-authored pamphlet edition, and to establish what that edition does not say: a direct fetch of its OCR full text shows it lacks the broadened promotional passage quoted in the case. That quoted text is drawn from a secondary account (Australian Pharmacist, 2025) describing an undated 46-page pamphlet, so the passage is not attributed to this 62-page 1750 printing.
