• BEG leave to inform you, that ever since the
year 1790, I had beers afflicted with the Lues Venereal,
which, from its obstinately resistingiseery course of medicine
prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here, and on-
' 4ergoin<, severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice dis-
chargedfrom the Hospital with little relief, would-appear to
be of the most inveterate nature. In the.spring of last year
, eisorder had got to such a head,as nearly to put a period
to my existence—l had a large ulcer on the crown of my head,
on e on each arm, and my legs were broke out in a frightfol
- manner ; my right was dreadfully painfs.il, 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
use 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 glith o. May; in the course of at
fortnight fbegan hi receive benelit—in little more, than a
month the ulcers on my head and arms were soundly hea;eff—,
,soon,atter, tGe sores ors my legs healed also ; leaving, him,:`tier,
ivet conSiderablqdiscOlouration in the skin, arid pain in the
bone of the. left, which, by the bleseing of God, an a little
to perseverance in your invaluable Medicine, subsided;
ttle"tio'cles dispersing, the skirt regaining its natural hue, and
tht.noCturnal pains gradually going off.—l thus became, by
yufir Aiblaro advice and medicine, perfectly free'from all my
foriner eomplaints—have recovered my former spirits and
strength, and am become jolly arid fat, in which state having
continued many months, to the astonishwent of all who knew
'ne, I am at a loss in what testers to express my gratitude, hut
beg you, for the good of other .sulftring•mortals,- to Make
this my case as public as possible, as I shall on every occa-
sion; in so cluing you win greatly oblige,
Sir, your grateful, obedient, very humble servant,
