HONOURED SIR, IBEG leave to inform you, that ever since the year 1790,' I had been afflicted with the Lues Venereal, svhich, from its obstinately resisting every course of medicine prescrib e d b y t h e most eminent of the faculty here, and un dergoi - ng s everalsevere courses of salivation, arid twice dis ?barged from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to be of the mast inveterate nature. In the spring of last year my oisorder had got to such a head, as nearly to put a period CO e xistence--I had a large ulcer on the crown of my head, on e en each arm, and my legs were broke out in a frightful Manner ; my right was dreadfully painful, and had been in a state of ulceration for the last seven years ; my left had also two large nodes on it, was very much discoloured, .and gave me such excruciating pain, particularly when warns in bed, as n early to deprive me of rest ; in this lamentable state, I wAs recommended by Mr. J. Thompson, (who received so great a cure'by them here), to take your-Leake'sPatent Pills, which I began to do on the 26th o. May ; in the course of a fortnight I began to receive benefit—in little more than a month the ulcers on niy head and arms were soundly healed— soon after, the sores on my legs healed also; leaving, how ever, considerable discolouration in the skin, and pain in the bone of the left, which, by the blessing of God, and a little longer perseverance in your invaluable Medicine, subsided ; the nodes dispersing, the skin regaining its natural hue, and the nocturnal pains gradually going off.—l thus became, by Your liberal advice and medicine, perfectly free from all my former complaints—have recovered my former spirits a nd strength, and am become jolly and fat, in which state having continued many months, to the astonishment of all who knew me, I am at a loss in what terms to express my gratitude, but b eg you, for the good of other suffering mortals, to make this my case as public as possible, as I shall on every occa sion ; in so doing you will greatly oblige, Sir, your grateful, obedient,very humble servant, ALEX.

IT must be a great c o nsol a ti on to those who are afflicted with Cancer, Glandular CoMplaints, and In durated Swellings, to know that the ANTIMONIAL discovered by the late Dr.l lARRYAT, asithort time previous to his death, and proved to be a certain cure for the above corns plaints, if applied in time, is now carefully prepared from the original Recipe, by . a private Gentleman, and sold at No. 9, Western-place, Brighton, in bottles a t 225. each, with full directions for use, and, to. prevent counterfeit; bearing the Arms of the Proprietor. Sold also by his agents, Messrs. Butler, Chemists, No. 4, Cheapside, St. Paul's, and 220, Regent street, near the Argyle-rom s , London ; 'Waterloo-place, Edin burgh ; and Sackville-street, Dublin ; and by the principal Medicine Vendors throughout the kingdom. Timely application of this invaluable remedy, in every case where there is the slightest appearance or apprehension of Can cer, is most seriously advised in order to arrest at once the dangerous progress of its baneful effects, and prevent the pain ful and too frequent necessity of the knife. Cancer is a disease which frequently occurs to both sexes, and no conditions of life afford an exemption from this malady. Its accustomed progress is, if not taken in time, attended by prolonged sufferings far exceeding those inflicted by other formidable diseases, and generally pronounced to be incurable ; indeed the insufficiency of medicine and surgery to cure this distressing malady, has hitherto been acknowledged by the first medical skill in the kingdom. Dr. Marryat, however, at a late period of his life, seems to have directed his whole attention to the cure of this agonizing disease, and found, from repeated trials, that Anti mony possessed such extraordinary qualities, as a palliative in the worst cases, as led him to prepare from it the Antimonial Oil. He very properly considered, that although Cancer may have presented distressing difficulties in the treat.. ment of it, we were by no means justified to pronounce it a complaint absolutely incurable; indeed, a single bottle will be quite sufficient to prove the efficacy of the Antimonial Oil a s a certain - palliative in confirmed Cancer, any cure, if applied in time, of this otherwise destructive and relentless malady. In cases of Bronchocele, usually called the Derbyshire Neck, the Antimonial Oil is held in the highest estimation, as being peculiarly efficacious. --- This Day was published, rill NE ANNALS of SPORTING, and A FANCY GAZETTE; a Magazine appro.. priated to Spo r ti ng S u bj ec t s . entirely , The Proprietors, on the commencement of a new Year, take leave to call the public attention to the increasing celebrity of this popular production, the Fourth Volume of which is re cently completed, and furnishes its own best commentary on the manner in which it continues to be conducted.

A LONG STORY.—An Italian Nobleman, who was grievously aflicted with old age and the gout, entertained a conteur, or fable-narrator, whose business it was to talk him to sleep. The conteur was a man to have talked half the world to sleep in twenty minutes; but the excessive restlessness of his patron sometimes defied his utmost exertions. One night it fell out that the Marchese was particularly wakeful, and the eonteur's invention more than usually slow. He had exhausted his whole stock is: hand of adventures, and con trived (such as they were) three new tales : but still the patient slept not, and kept calling upon him to continue. At length, wearied out, the conker struck at a fresh fable :—" There was a poor peasant," said he, "who dwelt in the Pomeranian moun tains, who went forth one day to a neighbouring market, to purchase a flock of sheep ; he made his bargain ? though prices were high, and set out on his return home, driving two hun dred ewes"—(" It was a large flock," muttered the Marchese), —" two hundred ewes (besides lambs) before him; but a storm arose towards night, and the rivulets swelled with the rain, and at length the peasant came to the banks of a wide river, which was no longer fordable, from the floods, though it has been so when he passed in the morning. There was no bridge nearer than three leagues, and the roads were getting heavy for the cattle. Could a boat be procured ? There was one; but so small that it could only carry one sheep at a time. In this dilemma the traveller had no choice: he put a sheep into the boat, rowed it over with some difficulty, (for the stream was now strongand rapid), landed it on the far shore, and returned for another When the conteur had arrived at this point of his story, he stopped, and composed himself to sleep; but the nobleman, who was still awake, cried out, as usual, " (io on, Beneditto ;go on. Why do you not proceed with the fanner on his journey?" "Ah ! let me sleep, my Lord, I intreat you," returned the conteur, in despair.; " I shall be awake again, I am sure, before he has got half his sheep “er." From the LONDON GAZETTE, Jan. 3.

A cause will be, tried in the Court of King's Bench at the ensuing Sittings for Middlesex, commencing on Monday, the 12th inst., which will deride the l ega l r i g ht o f master t a il ors to charge their customers double prices for making up black clothes for general public mourning upon the decease of a King or Queen, or any of the Royal Family. Yesterday morning, just. as " The Time s ,, Brighton coach started from the Elephant and Castle, one of the springs snapped short in two ; but as the body was suspend ed on the patent safety" pl an , no accident occurred to any of the passengers, though the coach was fully loaded inside and out. Another coach was procured, and after a delay of nearly an hour, they proceeded on their journey. On Monday evening . 11 printer of the name of Mitchell, whose wife resided in 'the Potter-row, and from whom he had been some time separated,' called upon her, and, it is said, deliberately plung ed a table knife into her left side, when no person was present but Mrs. Mitchell's mother and a little girl. Immediately after perpetrating the horrid deed he made his escape ; and though the most extensive and diligent search has been made after him, no trace of him has yet been discover ed. The wound inflicted upon the poor woman was so severe, that it was found unsafe to remove her to the Infirmary ; but she has had every prO per surgical aid from that establishment. At the same time, very faint hopes are entertained of her recovery. Her declaration was taken the same even ing by the Sheriff. Mitchell had.long been on had terms with his wife, whom he used to beat se verely whenever he happened to be intoxiciated ; and a short time since he was bound over by the Police Court to keep the peace towards her, under the penalty eat 10/. It is said that the too successful attempt upon his wife's life was'made by him in a fit of groundless jealouly, but all the circumstances lead to the belief that the act was premeditated.—(Edinburgh Courant, Jan. 1.) The herrings are at present very plentiful in the Frith of Forth. ATTEMPT to MURDER Gen, BARTON. On Saturday Henry Rep:olds, whose attempt to assassinate General BARTOnf we have already , stated, was again brought up to Marlboroug,h street, when the Gereral attended. He stated that On Thursday last the wife of the prisoner called on him, at his house. Soon after her hus band also came, and he was admitted into the parlour, where his wife was at the time. ' The General asked him to have a glass of wine, 'im mediately on accepting which the prisoner tired a pistol at him, and finding it did not take effect he fired another, which slightly wounded the Ge neral. The prisoner, on finding that the last shot had taken effect, seemed rejoiced, and ex . kessed a hope that the wound would prove fatal. Mrs. Reynolds then rung the bell, when the butler and cook. entered. The watchman was then called, and the prisoner taken into :Custody. The first ball, which passed through the General's coat, was found • near the fender ; -the other, which grazed his side, was found near the knee 'of his trowsers. The wound is very slight, and in no degree dangerous. The pri soner threnva, letter on the table, the contents of which, he said, the General well knew. It was anonymous, and very vulgarly written,accusing the prisonerof misconduct towards his wife.lie accused the Gezieral of being the author of this letter. The General declard he knew nothing of the letter, and most solemnly protested (in refUtatron of the insinuations of the prisoner) that he never in the •course of his life had taken the least liberty with Mrs. Williams. He had merely done every thing in his power to assist her and her relatives, having known her•father in the West Indies, where he served as au officer, and was assassinated. The cross-examination of the prisoner's attorney did not in the least affect the dispassionate and can did staterrent of the gallant General ; and after the examination of the servants in corroboration of his testimony, and of the officers who apprehend ed the prisoner and produced the pistols, the of fender was fully committed to Newgate to take his trial. His unfortunate wife was present dur ing the examination. iirDROPHOBIA. HISTORY OF A CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA, TREATED AT THE HOTEL DIEU AT PARIS, R 1 INJECTION OF 'WATER INTO THE VEINS. BY R. MAOENDIE. (OCTO BER, 1823.) On the 15th of this month I Was invited by R. Caillard, the resident Physician at the Hotel Dieu, to go immediately to that hospital, to give my opinion on the case of a man who had just arrived in the last stage of the Hydro phobia- 1 went at one o'clock. Several pupils of the hospital who in I Met, told me that there was not a moment to lose, if I wished to see the patient alive. When I arrived, I found the pat i e nt Placed in an isolated room, restrained by a strait waist coat, and agitated by the most furious transports; on approach ing his bed, I found that he exhibited all the symptoms of hydrophobic mania; the eye menacing, but not injected ; the m ost violent cries and efforts (1) to get rid of the straps which held him down; alteration of the voice, thickened saliva, biting at the substances which were presented to his mouth, and at in tervals a return to a tranquil state. At these intervals, which lasted a very short time, he understood the reasons and the con solations which were addressed to him, but he soon relapsed into a state of fury. The sight of a looking-glass, or of any liquid, excited the most violent agitation. In the morning he had swallowed a few drops of liquid, but when 1 saw him, a spoon ful of water which was poured within his lips, produced dread ful convulsions in the muscles of the pharynx, and he spat it out violently upon the assistants. The slightest noise, even the mere cnntact of the fingers with his hair, produced convulsions of incredible violence. His body bent . and unbent itself al ternately with an energy which it was difficult to account for. His pulse beat more 'than 150 strokes in a minute, and his respiration was interrupted. From all these symptoms, there could be no doubt as to the existence of hydrophobia ; it was evident that the patient was on the point of death. I inquired whether the man had been bitten ; and was told that his relations knew nothing about such a circumstance. It appeared that the patient had been in low spirits for some time, bemire he had not strength enough to continue his business as a jot;neyrnan baker ; that his ,melancholy had inc rease d s i nce the receipt of a l e tt er f rom a woman to whom he was passion ately attached; that two weeks before he had tried to drown his cares by excessive drinking, which lasted several days, and that the consequence of his excess was a copious bleeding from the nose, for which he consulted a physician, who considered his case to be a congestion of the brain ; and ordered thirty leeches to be applied, after having bled him from the arm three times. Notwithstanding this treatment, the patient was seized with several paroxysms of fury, in which he threatened all who were near him, and swallowed liquids with difficulty. His relations finding that his disorder increased, and not being able to re strain him, brought him to the Hotel Dieu in the night. I learnt also that the patient had been copiously bled in the foot at the hospital that morning without any abatement of the parox• yams, which followed each other more rapidly, and increased I , greatly in violence. The greater part of this information coincided with the ex istence of hydrophobia I requested a dug to be brought, in or der to inoculate it with the saliva of the patient, and repeat an experiment which I. had formerly made at the Hotel Dieu in concert with M. Breschet. (2) In the mean time the case was of the most urgent nature, and it was evident to all present that the patient would very soon sink under the violence of the disease. Already a cold sweat covered his forehead and breast, and his pulse could scarcely be counted. It became necessary, therefore, to take decided measures. I recolldcted the results of the experiments which I have re corded in the first volume of this Journal, and in which I had, seen the phenomena of hydrophobia cease in dogs, by the injec tion of warm water int o th e ve i ns ; ii determined, therefore, to try this extreme measure. ( 3 ) A small syringe for hydrocele, in a very indifferent condi tion, was brought to me ; some water war heated to 30 de grees (Reaumur); I ordered the right arm of the patient to be siezed, and I exposed it by making an incision in the sleeve of the strait waistcoat. I was immediately struck by several little wounds which appeared on the index, and a much larger size scar on the second bone of the metacarpus, which appeared to be the effect of a recent application of the cautery. The pa tient was not in a state to answer any question, and his friend, not having been able to give me any information on this sub ject, I proceeded to open a vein in the fore-arm. This opera tion, generally so simple, was in this case rendered somewhat difficult, in consequence of the continual motion of the patient. However, five or six strong pupils having seized his arm, I succeeded in passing two threads under the vein, and made an opening in it which enabled me to introduce the mouth of the syringe. It was a quarter past one o'clock when I began to inject into the vein, the quantity of two pounds of water, at PRICE SEVEIIiTgCC‘. thirty deg (Reaumurk having tepleniehed the syringaishi times.

At'this time we ohserved a phenotnenttri -one had ventured to hope ter; all the acute and viorent symp toms disappeared, with a peottiptitude which astonished ai who witnessed it; I, felt at this moment the highest satisfar tion which I have ever experienced. The patient regained the tiAe of his reason ; his fury tar: succeeded by perf ec t tranquillity.; his eyes recovered. their ne. tural expreasion ; the convulsive, motions vaaard 4. and what most extraordinary, he was, able t o d r i n k without any diffleult; a glass of water Whichi was presehted to hitn;"'in shoit . , the state of the patient h a d undergone comp 'et c}tange. Soon after, Calliard caused the strait. waistcoat is be removed freer the patient, who immediately a4it: - :1 pertnis:.iieri to get ep, am; ,go down into the court to make water.

When it was found • that hereally wanted - tt make water, he was told tal hat he had b e t ter d o. so its a corner the room. A few minutes after, he passed ti!eetat a pint el urine troubled, of a deep yellow colour, and so extremely fetid that it was necessary to carry it away immediately from the room. At this tithe, Which was an hour and a half after the iojec tion,- the patient asked for his relations, saw then, conversed with them on his affairs, and resumed his courage, and his hope. The physical state of the patient at this time was very re markable, and resembled nothing I have , ver witnessed. He had no fever; his pulse scareely.exceeded 80 ; but all the func tions which support life ; the contractions 'oftlie heart, respira tion, &c. were performed With a quick tremor. If we touched any muscle, we felt it ag i tate d b y the same tremor; in short, the morbid phenomena in this patient were as singular as the novelty of his condition. In the evening of the 17th, he received the succours of reli gion. In the night he had hemorrhage of the large intestines ; the blood came out in clots of nearly a cubic inch, and had the appearance of arterial blood ; it was mixed with portions of well-formed fecal matter. A little pain - in the abdomen follow ed this accident; but it was calmed by. emollient clysters and fomentations. This patient was able to take some chicken broth. He con tinued to get better without interruption till the fifth day ; on that day he complained of acute pains in the wrists, knees, and and e lb ows . The left knee especially was swelled, and the elbow and wrist on the same side. Besides these in flamtnatory accidents, which had evidently no connection with the original disease, and probably rose with the method of bleed him copiously in the foot.— treatment, the patient laboured under another complaint. On laird - The bleedingjud d it a n s ec o e e s ;t a ii r r Y me to d during the most violent state of the morning that he was brought to the Betel Dieu, M. Cail the symptoms, and the motions of the patient bad caused the points of two ancets to be broken in the inn. r side of the tibiae These extraneous bodies had excited a violent inflammation, of the foot and of the posterior parts of the leg, and there was every reason to believe that a large abscess had formed in this part. These different local accidents contributed to threaten the like of the patient; in addition to these, involuntary vomiting of green matter supervened, the abdomen was painful to the touch towards the ccecutn, and fever began to appear. Some persons said incautiously before the patient that he had been bitten by a mad dog, and that an experiment bad been made upon him. From that time hiS mind becam e sensibly affected • he despair ed of obtaining' a cure, and was constantly in apprehension that some person was corning to smother him. At length on the eighth day after the mje:tion, no hope of a cure remained, and he died early on the ninth day. There was nothing parti cular in the manner of his death ; he was sensible that his death was approaching, and he dozed a little before his disso— lution:' The body was opened in the presence of a great number cf practitioners and students. Our attention was first directed to the local accidents which had evidently caused the death of the patient we expected to find a large abscess in the posterior part of the right leg ; and we did in fact find one occupying the space between the projec tion of the calf and the leg. We then examined the swelled joints which had occasioned, such severe pain to the patient, namely the knee, the elbow., and the wrist of the left side We found all these joints filled with pus, anti their synoria in a state of violent inflammation. The cartilages, as it often happens, did not participate in this inflammation. We did not expect to find any severe lesion of the intestinal canal; there was no remarkable appearances in this partenever theless the hemorrhage by the anus, the pain felt 'by the patient which obliged us to have recourse to emollients, shewed that the digestive organs were not in a sound state ; and accordingly we found the mucous membrane at the end of the small intes tines red by the injection and expansion of its veins. - This redness, though less strongly marked, reached as high as the jejunum. At the junction of the ilium with the ceecum there were a dozen little superficial and recent ulcerations; the largest were a quarter of an inch in length, and one -sixth in breadth ; and the corresponding mesenteric glands were but little swelled, without any alteration of their structure--a cir cumstance which proves that they were very recent. There was nothing remarkable in .the large intestines from which the hemorrhage had cereinly proceeded. The pharynx, cesopha gas, and stomach, presentCd nothing worthy of observation. But a general phenomenon. which was very remarkable, was the decided state of putrefaction in which we found the blood. This fluid was every where liquid, and had furnished a great quantity of gate which filled and distended the heart and large vessels, anu had produced sub-peritoneal emphysema of the stomach and intestines. The lungs were sound, though a little swelled in their posterior part ; the last bronchial divisions were red, but the trachea was sound. (4.) Nothing particular was observed in the nervous system. Some reddish serum was seen at the base of the cranium, and , in the vertebral canal. The veins of the braie, eLd of the rachidian prolongation, were fined with red liquid bleed. The ganglions of the grand sympathetic were in a natural state._ The little wounds and scar of the hand were also examined with the greatest care, zed all the medical gentlemen present were struck with the resemblance of these wounds to oitee, a;.;il of the scar to the effects of the recent application of the cautery. It results from the history of this ease, that a disease, which exhibited all the ch aracters c f h y d rop h o b ia, ceased by the introduction of a pint of warm water into the veins; 'that the patient survived this introduction ;eight days ; that no accident' appeared to follow from it ; and that the death of the patient appears to have been caused by a local disease, which was wholly unconnected with the hydrophobia, and the new mode of" treatment. The hope of succeeding in a means of curing . hydrophobia, by the injecting of warm water into the veins, already founded on some experiments made upon animals, acquires theref o t e a fresh degree of p ro b a bil ity . • I t i s even possibleeas some of my' learned brethren of the Hotel Dieu think, that the same means may become a resource in certain extreme cases, in which the ordinary medical treatment is unavailing. With a view of enabling practitioners ; of all 'countries to make experiments themselves, I shall publish in the next num ber what experience has taught Me, with respect to the advan tages or injurious effects of the injection of warm water into - the circulating system.—( Lancet.) .. (1) In these attempts he had torn, with his tee.:2l, a part of the strait waistcoat which he teas eble reach. <2) The inoculation did not take place, as we multi not pro cure a sufficient quantity of saliva from 'the patient to per form it.. • (3) If the case had not been of so pressing a nature,. i should have considered it my duty to consult my learned brethren at the Hotel Dieu, and I should have confined Myself to merely proposing the measure, which, under the c'rciuntances, I felt it necessary to resort to iminedictely. ' (4) The rapid putrefaction of the blood, and the consider able development or gas in th'e vessels, and heaet e are almost always observed in the bodies of individuals and t9:iirpgls that have died of hydrophobia. In hot weather this appet i keance is very striking an hour 'after death. In•this point of vieiv, the excessively foetid state of the urine passed by theyetientetftera the injection, is worthy of observatien. • '
