SIR —The following voluntary testimonial of the good effects of your ANTISCOILBUTIC Deers, we received a few days since, from Mr. Pritchard, Jeweller, of this town : About five years since his daughter had a violent Scorbutic or Scrofulous complaint, which reduced her to so weak a state that she could scarcely walk, and affected her eyes so tha: she could not bear the light : during her continuance in this state, a friend who had been much afflicted in a similar way, and who was cured by taking a few bottles, advised a trial of your Drops; be accordingly purchased a bottle from us, and found her muck bet ter, and after taking three more bottles she was perfectly cured, and remains so at this time. Since the above, Mr. Pritchard recommended them to a young woman who was covered with large blotches, the effects of a violent Scorbutic disorder; but by taking three bottles she was also cured, and at this time remains as well as ever she was in her am, for Wood and Watton, Sir, yours, &c.
