DEAR SlR—When contemplate on the won. derful cure which your h.: vc . performed on use, I led myself desirous of havitiz tt made public a; possible. In the year 1806 I broke my kg two ditkrent Wiles In the. sante weak, at:J it was so badly net as to obl:;;:: to wait with my knee on a wooden kg for .ix years, the first three of which I tried several of the mast eminent Surgeons in Loetlon, the l :st of whom was Mr. AshNey Cooper, until he i tron.funced me in.. curable, which was in the year 1808. I then berged 9: him to cut off my kg ; in answer to which he observed, that amputation would be the death of roe, therefore Le declined this operadote. In the year 1812, yor having curetTray brotlitr of a most di.- tress'ng head-ache, i.e recommended the to yoa : 1 attended on my wooden le;t, when my leg measured tine bleb and three quay-. tens less than the other—it was cold as ice, autl had been so foi the last five years. Notts Ols.tandmg thip, 1 had no use for nto wooden I. on the •eeoud day. 'I he sixth tirelly lea off my crutches, beirz cai!Ple of wall; :4; with a stick. in about three months I was corm:featly cnr;ti, aui have continued ever since as well and di I.11:110.1: as evt r I was. r.,t•ivhat seems to me still nio!c sit an t e than this, is, that this leg now Measures the same size as my other, nor has it ever been cold since the first week cf using your Lotion and taking your Pills. My singular case Is well known to nearly all the p iienley on Thames, and to mare than a thousand people re.iding within a quarter of a mile from your house, where and be assured it can never be foi ;;ot by cle too long as capable to rceoblection ; and Sin, dear Sir, your • . amble servant, No. 5, Maid-lam.
