C.:re ever pertbrmed by the.use of Medicines, attested by,
and sworn to before Thomas Doncaster,, Mayor of the Bo-
rough of Wigan, in the County of Lancaster; and addressed
to Mr. Lignum, Surgeon, at his Dispensary, No. 57;
Bridge-street, Manchester.

MUST confess that I amat a loss how, or in
what manner to describe the picture of the former state
of my disease. I think Inv Own, orany other pen, unequal
to conVeying a full idea of the deplorable condition my v'l'ole
frame was in. About eighteen years ago I was attacked with
a scorliutie.humour, which appeared in different parts of my
body ; to repeat the train of regular medicinal means My dis-
order has led me through, would be tedious ; let it be suffi-
cient to say, that the remedies I used were of the "mist Va-
ried kinds, all of, which
.proved ineffeelttal ; my complaint
increased to a truly alarming degree—my body, from head to
foot, Was covered. With an inveterate scurf, which scaled OW
iii great quantities, and for these last six years, however in-
credible it may appear to the. world, I can with truth assert,
as hundreds of my neighbours are' ready to testify, that my
flesh has (literally) been rotting from off my bones, and that
great parh of the spinal or back-bone was quite bare; my
teet„,trom my,ancle, to my toe-ends, were become one entire
putrid sore, and in many parts the bones appeared, and in a
decaying state. Such was the putrid state of my body, that
at three different times all my ringer and toe-nails came en-
tirely
otf—through disease, .1 was deprived of the use of my.
limbs, and the excruciating pain retarded my sleep, so that
life i)sell became a burden to me. In the month ot February
laiai I was strongly recommended to make trial of your
Drops, of which I had a bottle frorri Mr. William Leon, of
Wigan, your sole Agent for that Eorogh. In the use of th
first bottle I found a little alteration,li but before I-had finish-er! thlee small bottles, I was so tar.recovered, that I -could,
with the assistance of stick, walk from Gdulbourn td Wi-
gan, a distance of six. miles. I persevered in the use of the
Drops till I had taken ten smlll bottles, which, with the
-blessing of God, have restored me to a perfect state of health
and strength • therefore it is my wish and desire that the
efficacy of these Antiscorbutic Drops, together with my
Cure,. be published for the good of mankind. As witness
my hand. • TIMOTHY MASON.
Sworn before Thomas Doncaster, ESq. Mayor,
