part of it, 1 applied to an eminent jurgeon, but be
told me it had gone too far; bearing that you bad
cured feme of the like, altbougb I am now in the 76th
year of my age, 1 applied to you, who in half a
minute took out the cancer and in a few days healed
up the place, so as scarce to be observed from whence
the cancer was taken. 1 dejire that this may be made

Sir, For the benefit of others I defre that you make
my cure public. 1 was growing blind for seven
years, and totally blind for one, and being in my 73d
year, 1 despaired of ever recovering my fight, but my
children being willing to do all they could for me re
queued me to apply toyou, who in one minute brought
me to fight, and lam now returning home with that
inefimable blessing, once more to behold the face of my
children and acquaintance. 1 am, Sir, your's,
Peter Gotten, Providence townfeip, Pennsylvania.

to publifo it that those who want that inefimable
blessing may know where to apply for a cure. 1 was
blind for two years, and as my brother was in the
like condition and bad applied to many but without
success I made myfelf as easy as possible under my af
fiftion, but bearing a news paper read wherein my
brother's name was inserted, setting forth be was then
refored to fight, I came to town, and my brother who
was brought to fight by you bad the pleasure of feeing
me refored in one minute, and I am now going b me
to carry the news of it to my family and acquaintance,
remaining, Sir, your's, John Bell, living in Jber
man's valley, Cumberland county, Pennfy'lvania.

Sir, For the benefit of others labouring under the
fame misfortune, 1 define that you may publish the
cure you made of my men mbicb mas growing on the
back of my neck for eighteen years, during which time
; applied to all the Surgeons in our parts', and had
also a confutation of most of the eminent surgeons in
ike city of Philadelphia, but all agreed that Q / had
it cut I should loose the afe of my neck or bleed to
death; thinking then there was no hope but to drag
this much aflicted load with me to my grave, and
which had already rendered me incapable of turning
in bed but with the greatest difficulty, in this condi
tion I applied to you, who in a few months took out
the wen with very little pain, and soon healed up the
wound, and lam now returning home whole. 1 am,
yours Casper Singes, tanner in Lancafer.
