To 'l'. TAYLOR, Esq.
No. 9, New Bridge-street, London.
HONOURED SIR, •

IBEG leave to inform you, that ever since the
year 1790, I had been afflicted with the Lues Venereal,
which, from its obstinately resisting every course of medicine
prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here, and un-
dergoing severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice dis-
charged frOm the Hospital with little relief, would appear to
be of the mast inveterate nature. In the spring of last year
my disorder bad got to such a head, as nearly toput a period
to my existence—l had a large ulcer on the crown of my head,
one on each arm, and my legs were broke out in a frightful
manner; my right was dreadfully Painful, and had been in a
state of ulceration for the last seven years; my left had also
two large nodes on it, was very much discoloured, and .gave
me such excruciating pain, particularly when warm in bed,
as nearly to deprive me of rest; is this lamentable state,• I
was recommended by Mr. J. Thompson,- (who received so
great a cure by them here), to take your Leake's Patent Pills,
-which I began to do on the 26th o. May ;. in the course of a
fortnight I began to receive benefit—in little more than a
month the ulcers on my beadand arms were soundly_bealed—'
soon after, the sows on my legs healed also ; leaving, how-
ever, considerablediscolouration in the skin, and pain in the
bone of the left, which, .by the blessing of God; and a little
longer perseverance in your invaluable Medicine, -subsided;
the nodes dispersing, the skin regaining its natural hue, and
the nocturnal pains gradually going otr.--4 thus became, by
your liberal advice and medicine, perfectl7 free front all niy
former complaints—have recovered my former spirits a nd
strength, and am become jolly and fat, in which state having
continued many months, to the astonishment of all who knew
me, I am at a loss in what terms to exi,resS my gratit tide, but
beg you, for the good of other suffering mortals, to make
this my case as public as possible, as I shall on every occa,
sion ; in so doing you will greatly oblige,
Sir, your grateful, obedient, very hurnbl e servan t.
