The Rev. T. HILLYARD, of Olney, IluckS, in a
letter of the 6th instant, to Mr. PERKINS, of Lei-
cester-square, the Patentee and Proprietor of the
Metallic Tratiors, has stated the following .remarlc-
able Cure.of 'Rheumatism by those Instruments
" Eliza Hillyard, a child of Olney, was'violentlx seized
with the Rheumatism, which took away the use of her limbs,
so that sne.could move by the assistance of crutches only,
tor two ,vears. A great variety of remedies were. tried
amonothers,--a long course of Elcdtidity vafter which she
was, three-mouths is the Northampton Infirmary, for medical
aid, but all without the least benefit. In this hopeless state
YOnr•Nletallic Tradors were recommended. I had not much
was not so.great an infidel as to resist fads. I first
tried them my?elf in May last, on, her hands, and they proved
effetivtl ;' •fourteen days they removed the contraction
of her fingers, and a hard callus.fiom her knuckles We then
began their application from the h I) to the toes, which drew
down the complaint,' and occasioned; while using them, a
swelling And inflammation in her great . toe. This-I thought
a favourable sy.mptom, and we. • t herefore persevered in_ thei r
use, twenty ininutes'at a timcf, twice a day, for three months,
when she had derived so much benefit as to be ablo focaat
