A BOUT two years and a ha!f ago, I was seized with
A a violent hoarfends and (hortnefs of breath. I
sent for a pbyfician, who ordered me to be bled ; I also
took a great many medicines, but grew worse indeed
of better. My head ached so violently, that it preven
ted metorn getting any rest ; my face and head bre ke
out in large blotches, which spread so much that I was
in daily fear rs losing my eye fight. Tha humour
which difeharged from my face was so ver, effsnfive,
that I could hardly bear it myfe'f ; but by the use of
your Martdint's Drepp, am effectually cured. Any
perLn doubting of this may be convinced of the truth,
by celling on Mrs. Copfon, at Brampton, or by en
