h j Mr. Norton, Surgeon, in Golden-square, London.
, Sir, lam cured oy the use of Maiedant's crops, of a most af
f.iCorg '.lorder of the scorbutic kind, after trying every medi
cine that could be thought of far my relief in vain. My case
Was as follows : I firth h^d final! pimples come out on my head
a d face ; in a little time after ray face was covered with blotches,
and on the fide of my nose fpungy fleth grew, as big as a small
nut ; rhe feme round my eyes and mouth, though not so large,
with bktehds on my body, arm's, and in the palms of my hand,
attended with 6 violent a pain in my head, that I had almost loft
the fight of my left eye, the pain being mostly upon that fide. I
wrs in this fitudtion till January last, when, by Providence, I
met a gentleman, who Was then at Bath, but is since gone to the
Weft-luma ; He recommended Mr. Norton's drops to me, by
which medicine he had been cured of most shocking ulcerated
legs. I am now in perfect health, and am continually praying
for the. welfare of the author of so valuable a medicine.
John Attwood, Toy-maker, Market-place, Bath.
See the following Case.
1 Os afflicted with a most Shocking leprosy, attended with vio
lent rheumatic pains, so that my life was quite miserable ; I tried
every thing that could be thought of for my relief in vain. I
am now perfectly cured by the use of Maredant's drops, as my
Neighbours can teftify, who knew the Shocking condition I wa®
in. jOHN Forster, at the Rose, at Welling in Kent.
Mary Copfon cured of a Scorbutic humour on her head and

A most extroardinary Cure by the use of Maredant's Drops.
To Mr. Norton, Surgeon, in Goldenfquate, London.
Sir, I take this method of returning you my most finteje
thanks for the cure of my son, which was effected by your most
excellent drops; two years and an half ago he had the small-pox,
immediately after that a most violent humour fettled in both his
Hands, 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. Tbehumour in his hands was attended with almost
as violent a one in his face, which formed an entire scab over
the whole, and smelt intolerably ; In ihort, he was in so much
misery, and without hopes of recovery (as I bad had the opinion
nf the most eminent without effect, who called it the kig's-evii)
that : deferred of his life. In gratitude for so extraordinary a
cure, I have desired this to be made public. Any person, by
railing at my house, the Talbot Inai, in the Strand, may be
informed of every particular, and fee the child,
