This ad appeared in the August 1817 issue of La Belle Assemblée.  This was the only ad for Madame D’Aubigne or Zimmermanic Powders of Health that I could find, but its nonetheless fascinating.  It seems from the ad D’Aubigne presents herself as medical practitioner of sorts that also sells a miracle powder.  Sounds remarkably like a social media influencer shill.
