A remarkable Cure of an inveterate SCURVY.
fr HE wrt er (a country Clergyman) fays, That
1 tor near forty years he had been a Cofferer from
this difternper S^erimes it made its appearance in
are part, femetimesi? another : That in 0 der to con
quer it. he had dabbled in lea water, and tar-water
had taken Ward's white drops, and several pretended
antifeorbuties, and had made use of other (as he
thought) rational means, but with little or no facce's.
At intervals he was affi&d with an extreme depreflion
of spirits, and the more so, as he despaired of ever
getting the better of his disorder; when at the age of
fifty-fir he perceived it grow wo fe and worse, and
threatened to end in a confirmed leprosy.
Under thi^ apprehend m, it came into his mind to
try what the two simple drugs of Cream of Tartar and
the common Floor of Brimstone woud do: Accord
ingly he weighed an equal quantity of each, and made
them into an electuary with Treacle. Of this he took
three times a week, the quantity of a final! walnut at
a time, about an hour before he rose in the morning.
In about three weeks he fotend the salutary effefts- the
rank eruptions on some parri of his body difap,eared ;
ahumour, which greatly affixed his eyes, abated, and
in a fortnight more was carried offentirely, and he was
Coxtinerrtd! Navy Board, PWadelphta, "June 26, 1777.
