ROBERT ROBINSON,
MICHAEL PRICE.
A most amazing Cure, by the Use of Maredants Antiscorbutic
Drops, prepared ly Mr. Norton, Surgeon, in Colder
Square,
ABOUT twenty Years since, I got a violent Su feit,
by leaping into the Water when hot; after trying;
many Things to no Purpose, was advised to drink Salt-
Water, and go ihto the Sea, which X complied with
some Years, when my Disorder ftru& in : I ascribed it to
my going into the Water in the Month of February, it
being then at a long Distance from the Shore; from
which Time I date the loss of Health. I then had an
Issue cut, which I thought did me Service. I t a Morn
ing I was greatly affixed with violent Reaching, which
greatly weakened my Spirits, and kept increasing till
February, 1765, My Head was so great!) ass Aed, that
I pitched out of a Chair, as if in a Fit of Apoplexy; I
was now persuaded to have two more Ifftus rut bewixt my
Shoulders. About June, 176 $, I had the Advice of an
eminent Physician, whose Directions were followed, but
no Benefit received ; I grew worse, bad such a prodigious
Vneafinefs in my Stomach, that I was almost diftra&d ;
a Blister was applied to my Head ; 1 don't think I had 6
Hours Sleep in 6 Months ; Laudanum was now given to
compose me: Another fam, us Physician ordered baching
in the Sea, to <mit one drop of Laudanum Daily, and
take certain things ; it did me Service, that, afser fix
Weeks bathing, &c. I got fairly rid of the Laudanum;
I have been ever since perhaps in the most miserable Man
ner ever known, hardly any Sleep till the late hard Frost
ended. I was persuaded, by a Friend, to try Wiredart's
Drops, he made me this (I think) just Remark, that it
was almost impossible for me to be worse, and that their
was a Poffibiliry of their doing me good. The Night the
Thaw came on, I had such a Sleep, that I had not met
with before for three Years. The time I was so extreme
bad, generally what I difeharged upwards, in the Nature
of Spittle, so congealed, that it would not dissolve for
some Days, it now came from me by Stool, which gave
me great Rafe ; I continued sleeping, from the firft Night's
Rest, till the 28th of February, much the fame; my
Belly, hard like a Drum's Head, was now very pliant,
^nd surprisingly eased ; Water now issued from my Groins,
that were so fore, it was a Trouble to fit, stand er lie;
in four Days afterwards this abated, and the Humour
came out on my Thighs and Legs, which was thought,
by the Physicians, to be impoffibbe. Thank God, lam
so unexpectedly relieved, that I have been to fee several
Friends, and begin, after three Years Misery and Con
finement, to fee after my Affairs. If it was in the Power
of any Person to give me the whole national Debt of En
gland, to remain in the State I was in before I took these
Drops. I would not accept of it. I don't publish this with
any View of serving Mr. Norton, nor did he ever request
it of me, but entirely for the Benefit of the Public.
