A BOUT two years and a half ago, I was seized with

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, tint 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 losing my eye-fight. The humour
which difeharged from my face was so very offtnfive,
that I could hardly bear it myfelf § but by the use of
yoqr Maredant's Drops, am effectually cured. Any
