To Mr. NORTON, Surgeon, in Gulden. Square.
SIR,
ABOUT two years and a half ago, I was seized with
a violent hoarfenels and shortness of breath. I
sent for a pnyfuian, 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 blotches, which spread so much that I was
in daily fear of loling my eye-fight. Th^ humour
which discharged from my face was so very offenfive,
that I could hardly bear it myfelf ; but by the u se of
your Miredant's Drops, am effectually cured. Any
perfoil doubting of this may be convinced of the truth,
by calling on Mis. Copfon, at Brompton, or by en
quiring of Mr. Otton, coal-merchant, in Witcomb
ftreet, near L^cefter- fields. I am, with great refpe&,
your most humble servant,
MARY COPSON.
To Mr. NORTON, Surgeon, Golden-Square.
AFTER having been affixed with a most violent
scorbutic humour, of 13 years standing, which
rendered me incapable of business; I have the fms
fadion to inform you, I am now pertly cured, by the
use of your Maredant's Drops, You have my leave
to publish this, hoping it may be the means of pro
curing benefit to others, afflicted as I war. I am, fir,
your humble servant, GEORGE LANGDON.
