Sir, For the benefit of others labouring under the
fame misfortune, 1 dejire that you may publish the
cure you made of my <wen which mas growing on the
back of my neck for eighteen years, during which time
I applied to all the Surgeons in our parts, and had
also a consultation of mofl of the eminent surgeons in
the city of Philadelphia, but all agreed that if 1 had
it cut I Jhould loose the use of my neck or bleed to
death; thinking then there mas no hope but to drag
this much afifed load with me to my grave, and
•which bad already rendered me incapable of turning
in bed but with the greateJi difficulty^ in this condi
tion I applied to you, mho in a fem months took out
the men with very little pain, and soon healed up the
mound, and lam now returning home whole. 1 am,

To Dr. Yeldall.
Sir. Having a cancer in my lip which made such a
rapid progress, that in one year it had confuted great
part of it, I applied to an eminent Jurgeon, but be
told me it had gone too far; bearing that you bad
cured feme of the like, although I am now in the 76th
year of my age, I applied to you, mho in half a
minute took out the cancer and in a fem days healed
up the place, so as scarce to be observed from whence
the cancer mar taken. 1 dejire that this may be made
public. I am, Sir, your's, J. Menges, living in
Ammell tomnj'bip, New-Jersey.
Sir, For the benefit of other persons you may make
my cure public. I bad a men growing on my neck for
four years which you took out without much pain, and
when out, weighed one pound and an ounce, which I
left in your ware koufe for the insertion of the curi
ous. I am, Sir, your's John Rouse, Manington
township, IVefi-New-Jerfey.
Sir, For the benefit of others 1 dejire that you make
"O' cure public. 1 was growing blind for Jeven
years, and totally blind for one, and being in my 73d
year, 1 dejpaired of ever recovering my fight, but my
children being milling to do all they could for me re
queued me to apply toyou, who in one minute brought
7?2e tofg^F a7l d lam now returning home with that
ineJlimable blessing, once more to behold the face of my
children and acquaintance. I am, Sir, your's,
Peter Gotten, Providence townfoip, Pennflvania.
Sir, As I am recovered to fight I think it my duty
to publijh it that those who want that ineJlimable
^fog % know where to apply for a cure. 1 was
blind for two years, and as my brother was in the
like condition ana bad applied to many but without
success I made myfolf as easy as possible under my af
fliction, but hearing a news paper read wherein my
brothers name was inserted, setting forth he was then
refored to Jigbt, I came to town, and my brother who
was brought $ to Jigbt by you had the pleafare of feeing
me refored in one minute, and 1 am now going b me
to carry the news of it to my family and acquaintance,
remaining, Sir, your's, John Bell, living in Sher
man's valley, Cumberland county, Pennsylvania.
,* To set down the many furprizing cures
performed this summer by Doctor Yeldall would
take up too much room. Those who would be
further fatisfied are * defired to apply to him at his
house, a few doors above Arch-street in Front-street.
The Doctor thinks it needless to fay any thing of
bis abilities, his well known travels throughout most
01 the United States, the great number of operati
ons performed by him, and the many furprizing
though well attested cures already published speak
more powerfully than any thing that can be here
inserted.
DOCTOR YELDALL may be consulted
at his Medicinal Warehouse a few doors above
Archftreet in Frontftreet, in all cases of P/yfe and
Surgery. Those who may want his a ffiftance in the
city may be waited on at their houses; those who
live in the country, may, by fending an account of
their disorders, have advice and medicines lent, and
the cure compleated in as short a time as the cir
cumstances of complaint will admit and if not cure
able they will be inform'd of it, so that they need
not put themselves to further trouble or expence.
Any poor person wanting his assistance may have it
gratis by applying every Monday.
