This may certify that Sarah Lady Moore, the wife of Philander Moore of Windsor County of Hartford and State of Connecticut, is troubled with a cough, pain in the side, shortness of breathing, and has a feeble constitution, which in her advanced age, almost entirely disqualifies her from labour. Her symptoms are such as render it improbable that she will ever again have comfortable health. Windsor August 22 nd 1820.

We do hereby certify that Mr Philander Moore of Windsor, County of Hartford and state of Connecticut, has been, for many years and still is, troubled with an incurable scrotal Hernia . The intestine descends into the scrotum at the side of the testicle, and the situation of the adjacent parts is such, that no truss, for a considerable part of the time, can entirely prevent its descent. He is also very subject to Rheumatism. On both these accounts he is a large portion of the time unable to labour. Windsor August 9 th A. 1820.
