without stopping. I felt as if I was in a vice. It
was only by the repeated recommendations of my
friends that I would apply to Mr. Long, because I
had no faith in him ; but I did ut length apply to
him, and I inhaled, and in ten days I felt so melt
improved, that I could walk from Kentish-town to
Harley-street without the least inconvenience. After
being tauter liia care eight or ten days, he advised
mo to submit to the external application, which I
did. I applied it myself to my head, chest, and

place. I continued under his care from Decemher,
1828, until the' end of the month of March, 1029.
The result of his practice has been, that I am now
better than 1 have been for 12'years before. During
the time I have mentioned that I was under the
care of Mr. Long, I never sought the ad-
vice nor took reinediet from any other person.
I was rubbed 20 or 80 times while the parts were
raw, but they healed themselves notwithstanding, I
have been troubled with the gout, and when I was
very ill with that complaint in my foot, he pre-
acribeil the use of his external applicittion, and 1 did
use it, and pustides were produced and followed by
considerable inflammation. I vent for Mi. Long on
the subject, and he told .me not to mind it, for it
would tend to good. I continued the application,
and I was relieved from the gout in a few days. I
have never experienced the slightest return of my
former complaint since my adopting Mr. Long%
mode of treatment.
