as n early to deR rive me-of rest ;in this lamentable state, I
was rQcomnienda I by Mr. J. Thompson, (who received so great a cure by th em here), to take vous.Leake'sPttent Pills,
which I began to do on the 26th o. May ; in the course of a
fortnight tbegan to receive benefit—in little -more than a

soon after, the sores on my le-Fs healed also ; leaving, how..

bone of the left, which, by the blessing of God, ant a little
longer yet severance in your inTalnatile Medicine, sulsmded
the nodes dispersing, the skin regaining its natural hue, and: tlat nocturnal pains il radually going off.--I thus became, by,

promote vomiting;; but in, the retching thus ex-
cited he happened to -let ib the blade, on which
