Sir, I am cured by the use of Maredant's drops, of a mod
afflicting disorder of the scorbutic kind, afier trying every
medicine that could be thought of for my relief in vain. My
case was as follows: I firn had final! pimples coroe 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 fltfh
grew, as big as a small nut; the fame rouid my eyes and
mouth, though not so large, with biotches on my body, arms,
and in the palms of my hand, attended with fj violent a
pain in my head, that I had almost loft the fight of my left
eye, the pain being muftly upon that fide. I was in this situ- rt
atio'n till January last, when, by Providence, I met a gen
tleman, who was then at Bah, but is finee gone to the Weft-
Indies : He recommended Mr. Norton's drop* so me, by
which medicine he had been cu ed of most Crocking ulcerated
legs. I am now in perfect hea h, and am continually pray

Sir, I take this method of returning you roy most Sincere
thanks for the cure of my son, which was effected by your
most excellent drops ; two years and an half ago Be had the
small pox, immediately alter that a most violent humour fet
tled in both his bands, which were so bad that he Entirely
loft the use of them : the bones were so much affected that
two pieces separated and came away. The humour in his
hands was attended with almost as violent a one in his face,
which formed an entire scab over the whole, and smelt into
lerably : In short, he was in so much misery, and without
hopes of recovery (as I had had the opinion of the most emi
nent without effc-a, 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 perlon,
