SI R,
A BOUT two years and a half ago, I was seized with
" a violent hoarseness and shortness of breath. I
sent for a physician, who ordered me to be bled ; I also
took a great many medicines, but grew worse instead
of better. My head ached so violently, that it preven
ted me from getting any rest ; my face and head broke
out in large b otches, which spread so much that I was
in daily fear cf losing my eye-fight. The humour
which discharged from my face was so very offenfive,
that I could hardly bear it myfelf ; but by the use of
your Maredant's Drop-, am effeaually cured. Any
person doubting of this may be convinced of the truth,
by calling on Mrs. Copfon, at Brompton, or by en
quiring o' Mr. Otton, coal-merchant, in Witcomb
ftreet, near Leicester fiAds. I am, with great refpea,
fir, your most humble servant,
