SIR, Prefsot-ftreet, August 24, 1770.
I Should think myfelf wanting in gratitude to you, and hu
manity to my fallow-creatures, if I longer omitted ac
quainting the public of the most extraordinary cure I have
obtained by the life of your(Maredant's) drops. It is twenty
two years since I was firft taken ill with the feurvy, which ap
peared in great blotches and other Eruptions all over my
body. I have had the advice of many physicians of eminence,
from fame of whom [received temporary relief, which (and
bathing in the sea) only enabled me to support a most misera
ble life. I was in the most aflli&ing situation, without hopes
of recovery, when, luckily, reading the News-Papers, I saw
the cute of Mr. Hall, Attorney, in Johufon's court, Fleet
ftreet, whom I had known for many years; that induced me
to begin your 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 two years since I took any, and
remain in perret health, though J can justly and truly fay, I
Was in as deploy >1 a condition as ever man was.
