SIR Pitfeot-ftree, August 24, 1770
I Should think myfelf wanting in grati ude to you, and hu
manity to my fellow-creatures, if I longer omitted ac
ourinting the public of the most < xtraerdinary cure 1 have
obtained by the use of y- ur(Maredant's) drops. It s,,ty
years since I was firft taken id with rhe feurvy, which ap
peared in great blotches and other Eruptions all over my
bedv I have had the advice of many phyticians of eminence,
from some of whom I received temporary relief, which (and
bathing in the sea) oniv enabled me to support a mod nofera
life I was in the most affixing fituatron, without hopes
' of recovery, when, luckily, reading the News-Papers, I saw
the cure of Mr. Hall, Attorney, 111 Johnson s court, Fleet
• ftree whom I had known for many years; that induced me
0 b^n your drops ; in taking a few bottles I found great
benefit particularly in my c.mftitution and .ppmte ; and,
by continuing them, am effectually cured, which I nave no
re a son to doubt, as it is above two years free 1 t,k any, and
remain in perfect health, though 1 can justly and truly fay, I
was in as deplorable a condition Is ever man was.
I am with great effeem,
Your m^B obedi, nt humble Servant,
