Brockhobs, near Preston, Lancashire, April, 10 1781.
SIR,
IN justice to your Maredant's Drops, I fend you for
publication a very furp^zing eyre effected by them
on my fora.
About four years ago,e was frized with a rood violent
fever, a profufe perforation with a total loss of appetite
fuegeeded it, which was followed by a number of very
large swellings upon both legs one thigh, and on his
head, which alter some time broke and emitted a great
quantity of matter, insomuch that he was almost deprived
of the use of both his legs.
In this dangerous and emaciated condition I applied to
feyeral of the faculty for affidance to no purpose, and who
at last pronounced him incurable, 'till reading a newspa
per, I fortunately cast my eye on a case almost similar to
that of my son's. I immediately determined to make trial
of your Drops, as the last resource, by which he has ob
tain'd a perfect cure. It is above threeyears since he dis
continued them, and is now as found and healthy as he
was previous to his indifyofition.
I am, Sir, your very humble servant,

fflulas, piles, pimpled faces, long continued inflamma

botic gout and rbeumatifm, and every other disorder
arising from a joulnefs of the blood. They perfect di
gestion, amazingly create an appetite, and aft as a
restorative to the most reduced constitution. They may
be taken in any season, without the least confinement,
danger of catching cold, or hindrance of bufaefs; the

infants, and women during pregnancy, is an additi

Bloom ofCircaflia.
TT is allowed that the Circafiam are the
[ most beautiful Women in the World.—
However they derive not all their Charms from
Nature. A Gentleman long resident there in
the suite of a Person of Diftindion. well known
for his Travels thro' Greece, became acquainted
with the Secret of .he Liquid Bloom, extraded
from a Yegr^ble, the Produce of that Country,
in general used there with the mod eßeemed
Beauties. It differs from all others in two
very effenrial Points; firft, that it instantly
gives a Rosy Hue to the Cheeks, not to be dif
tinguifh< d from the lively and animated Bloom
of Rural Beauty, nor will it come off ^y Per
