I THOMAS M'ARTHUR of Paxton Townfllip, in the
county of Lancaster, was Seized in April, 1774, wit% a
mod violent pain in my right fide, which continued seven
weeks, and Subjected me to extreme agony, during the whole
time, without abating by any application; and then,in one
night's time, it moved to my right flioulder, with excruciat
ing pain, working down from that (boulder to my back, and
immediately Swelled, with a burning heat, as if it had been
bealing; on which DOCTOR THOMAS WIGGENS, who
always attended me, applied medicines to promote the bcal
ing; and after feme time laid my back open once and again :
and, alt rthe disorder had continued upwards of nine months,
so as to reduce me to a very low date, with little profpe& of
recovery; yet, by the care and diligence and Skilful manage
ment of said Doctor, through the divine birding, I was re
stored to perfect health and founduefs. This, I look on my
felf as bound in gratitude, and in justice to said Doctor Wig
gens's character, to [ublilh to the world as an evidence of his
Ikil and fidelity in performing to is notable cure, and of the
moderation of nis fees, that were quite inconsiderable, after
the vast riding and fatigue he expofcri himfclf to, during the
whole time of my a Imeut.%
