cure themoft inveterate (curvy, leprosy, pimpled faces of
ever so long handing, so as never to return again : Likewise
the evil or ftruma, fiftulas, piles, old ohftinate fores o ; ulcers;
and, by purifying the blood, prevent malignant humours of
every kind from being thrown upon the lungs, &c. the fol
lowing remarkable cures fufficiently prove.
To Mr. Norton, Surgeon, ix Golden-Jquare, Lordon.
Sir; I am cured by the.uie of Maredant's drops, of a most
afflicting disorder of the scorbutic kind, afer trying every
medicine that could be thought of for my relief in vain. My
case was as follows: I firfthad small pimples come out on
my head and face ; in a little time after my face was cover
ed with blotches, and on the fide of my nose fpungy flefh
grew, as big as a small nut; the fame round my eyes and
mouth, though not so large, with blotches on my body, aims,
and in the palms of my hand, attended with so violent a
'pain in my head, that 1 had almost loft the fight of my left
eye, the pain being mostly upon that fide. I was in this fix
ation till January lad, when, by Providence, I met a gen
tleman, who was then at Bath, but is since gone to the Weft
ladies : He recommended Ms. Norton's drops to me, by
which medicine he bad been cured of most Ihockipg ulcerated \
legs. I am now in perfect health, and am continually pray
ing for the welfare of the author, of fo.valuable a medicine.

I was afflicted with a most Locking leprosy, attended with
violent rheumatic pains, so that my life was quite miferabtef
I tried every thing that could be thought of for my relief in
vam. lam now perfe&iy cured by the use of Maredant's
drops, as my neighbours can teftify, who knew the fliocking
condition I was in. John Forster, at the Rufe, at Wel

fl most extraordinary cure b, the use cf Maredant's Drips.
To Mr. Norton, Surges, in Gelden fauare, London.
Sir, I take this method of returning you my most tincere
thanks for the cure of my son. which was elftt%d by yctir
most excellent drops; two years and an half ago he bad the
small pox, immediately after that a mod violent humour fet
tled in both his hands which were so l\ad that he entirely
101 l the us of them : the bones were so much affc&ed chat
two pieces separated and came away. The humour in his
hands was attended with almost a s violent a one in his face,
which formed an entire scab over the whole, and fraelt into
lerable : In fliort, he was in so much misery, and without
hopes of recovery (as 1 had had the opinion of the most emi
nent without effect, who called it the king's evil) that I
despaired of his life. In gratitude ' for so extraordinary a
cure, I have desired this to be made public. Any person,
bv calling at my house, the Tabot Inn, in the Strand, may
be informed of every particular, and fee the child.
