Extraa of a letter from a gentleman of
the Faculty at Fort St. George, to Dr.
B. of the Bengal EftabliJbment.
"Sir Paul Joddrel, from his (kill
in Botany,has made a difeovery which
is likely to prove of the greatest
importance to the health and ease of
Europeans in India; and will tend to
the extirpation of that cruel and molt
tormenting of all maladies, the Ring
worms ; and the remedy is as simple
as it is efficacious. It consists in no
thing more than a frequent embroca
tion, or friaion of the parts where the
eruption prevails, with common mufo
room ketchup. This remedy, simple as
it appears, has never been known to
fail in removing the Ringworms, Itch,
er any other cutaneous eruption, af
,*r ^verv other no2rum has failed.

THIS is a cutaneous "distemper,

very prevalent in this country also,

for so distressing a complaint, which

I beheld his body half
wafted ^away with long ex
pectation and confinement;
and feft what kind of sick
ness of the heart it is which
arises from hope deferred.
Upon looking nearer, I saw
him pale and feverifh. In
thirty years, the weftern
breeze had not once fanned
nis blood—he had seen no
fun, no moon, in all that
time—nor had the voice of
friend or kinsman breathed
through his lattice. His
children--But hei emy heart
began to bleed—and I was
forced to go on with another
part of the portrait.
He was fitting upon the
ground, upon a little straw
in the fartheft corner of his
dungeon, which was alter
nately his chair and bed.
A little calender of small
flicks was laid at the head,
notched all over with the
dismal days and nights he
had passed there. He had
one of these little flicks in
his hand ; and, with a rui
ty nail, he was etching an
other day of misery, to add
to the heap. As I darkned
the little light he had, he
lifted up a hopeless eye to
wards the door—then call
it down—shook his head —
and went on with his work
of affliction, I heard his
chains upon his legs, as he
turned his body to lay his
little stick upon the bundle.
He gave a deep sigh.—l
saw the iron enter his foul.
—lburft into tears —I could
not sustain the picture of
confinement,which my fan
cy had drawn.
