I Should think myfelf wanting in gratitude to you, and hr
mauity to my fellow-creatures, if I longer omitted ae
quainting the public of the most extraordinary cure I bare
obtained by the use of your(Maredant's) drops. It is twenty
two years since I was firft taken ill with the (curvy, which ap
peared in great blotches and other Eruptions all over nr
body. I have had the advice of many physicians of eminence,
from some of whom I received temporary relief, which (and
bathing in the sea) only enabled me to support a most mifera
bie life. I was in the most afflicting situation, without hope
of recovery, when, luckily, reading the News-Papers, I fav.
the cure of Mr. Hall, Attorney, in Johafon's court, Fleet
ftrect, whom I had known for many years; that induced me
to begin you: drops ; in taking a few bottles I found great
benefit, particularly in my constitution and appetite ; and.
by continuing them, am effectually cured, which I have no
reason to doubt, as it is above tw® years £gce I took any, and
remain in perfect health, though I can jultly and truly fay,
was in as deplorable a condition as ever man was.
I am with great eftcem.

I Have happily experienced the efficacy ofyour(Maredxnft)
drops, in a very painful humour and disorder, which I la
boured under near 20 years, in both my legs, accompanied
with a violent inflammation and pfofufe discharge, the sharp
nefs of which fleaed off the (kin, and prevented my getting
(but at very short intervals) either deep or refi.—After trying
steeps of herbs, diet drinks, and innumerable medicines, i,
vain almost wearied out with pain and grief, I was recom
mended to make trial of your drops; which I took, ano
have the pleasure tp inform you, that they have eflfcaitafo
removed the complaint, so as to leave no appearauee of th
disorder, Please to accept ray thanksfor Lie fame, and m
fincere wishes that this testimony of the efficacy of your inva
luable drops may be so pubbckly known, as that utricis, la
bouring under the like affliction, may find the fame relief.'
