WHEN an ,individual 1 has experienced, any par-
ticular ma-rk of kindness, in which his welfare and
happiness have been considerably promoted, nothing is snore
havural than to seek out tlie.person by whom we have been
served.; for the purpose 'of expressing ourgratefUl sense of tne, •
bestowed. But, in cases of health, where we lnive
been' recovered from ,the last deplorable stage ci2billtatcd
nature, and restored to the full enjoyment of all the various
blessings of life, we are forcibly called en •by every consi-•• -
*ration, to acknowledge it in the Most public manlier, - We -
owe this equally to.our own feelings, which must be sensibly
awakened on the occasion, to.the skill and talents of the Doc-
tor, which merit every encomium,. and to the public at large,
in order that those who may stand in need i:similar benefits,
maytnow where to receive them. Having made these ge-
neral observations, I shall proceed to state the particular casd'
that has occasioned them, and to lay before the Public the 52,-;
lutary cads that I have experienced under the gt.-atest-
.affliaions that can poisibly betal us. I was born and educated
, at Winchester, and at seventeen years of age went to. the Uni- •
versity at Oxford. Prior to my leaving, Winchester, and
more particularly at College, I was reduced to the most .
grievous stag by the horrid avi unnatural prattica too in-
cident to youth, and which aie not 'more bahefiil to unr
health, than sintul in the eye of God.. 1 was at first
with a dimness of sight, a weakness' its my loins, and sUe- •
pretsion of spirits. In this situation ' I applied: to Bdrn:
' Wenzel, the famous ,Oculist, informed me it proceeded
from the optic nerves-. I for -sorneinne followed Isis advice,,
till one day returning from shooting, I was seized with a --
numbness in my limbs to such. a' degree, as to -lead -metO
conclude that I should entirely lose' the use of them. This ,
induced me to put myself under the hand•of Dr. W. 'of Ox-
ford; but neither his aid, nor the waters at Bath, which
place I visited, afforded me the -last relief ; my 'spirits, at--7
length were so seriously
,depressed with violent-pal pitations•:,
of the heart, and my flesh so much decayed, that I becaine:'
a mere skeleton. Observing, however, in the Bathkrapers,
a publication by Dr. Brod.um, intituled,." A Guitte to Old '-
Age," dedicated to His Majesty, I was induced tog9ruse •
the same, when I fortunately discovered the complaint I had
so long laboured under.
". I have the happiness to add,. that by following the ad
vice contained therein, and going througu a complete course
of Dr. Brodinn's invaluable Nervous Cordial, 1 am now,
thank Heaven, perfedly recovered, and as. well as ever I was r".
in my life.

" t have since quitted' the University,. and am going to
eßterinto the holy -state 'of matrimony, with 4.de1...,inui.a,0n -
never to be without "A Guide to Old Age;'' and, at •thc
same time, I think it' my duty to advise,all youne, men to
'follow my example, as a perusal-of thistxcAltnt book May
happily prevent the afflided-froin being precipitated headlopg.
to an untimely grave, which, but for Dr. Brotium, would '.
most inevitably have been my caso.

- SIR, Edinburgh, May a, !Soo,
TN the Spring of 179+ I, was- atilicied with a
1 Venereal Complaint, which I treated with.
ence for five months ; but NY:is
_then obliged, to apply to a
regular Physician, who put sa temporary stop' to the viru-
lence, of the DiseaSe 'Coy mercurial applicationsytOr some
time; but growing, in spite, of all medicine and the advice
of the first Gentlemen of the Faculty here, worse and
worse for two years; Lwas7 reduced to 'a state. almost "usi-
paralleled and beyond description, 'being an entire entire leper, •
- and ulcerated from head to foot.—My head, throat, Mout:l.
nose, legs, arms, &c. have Wen alternately in danger of
becoming useless; in short, I have 'had front twenty to
thirty t ating ulcers 91-1.- my body, and nearly totally der
prived of sight.lt Would be' voluminous, to particula-
rize all my case—suffice it to say, there never was, or ever
will be, one of -a more .dangerous, or of, a more compfi-
cated nature. I was long looked upon by'. nay friends, and
imagined myself, beyond all hopes of recovery ;- and, in-'
deed,- in. my then condition, death was preferable to Mgt •
more than' miserable state. In thig dreadful situation cal
I drag, a most miserable existence, till Divine Providence
threw- in my way a Newspaper containing the -case of a
Mr..B. of Plymotith--4.ny mends read it, I could not.—l
sent and procured some of your LEAK E's- PATENT
PILLS, which, by using-from time to time, am now, anti
have long. been, (after more than four years indescribable
distress), In as good a state of health as ever I enjoyed ; as a
proof of this, I had a finer thriving,' healthy child, born to
roe a few months ago. In gratitude to God, and in . hopes -
of • rendering my fellow-creature service, I request you to
publish this; and you. may at any time. refei persons who'
wish to be satisfied of the truth of this, or further parti-
culars*, to me or my friends, bv. Petter or persOn.
As few cafes for badness will ever equal mine, and none
exceed it, I have from experience every season to, assure
mankin4, that, in your L E's PILLS they will find a
sure, speedy' safe, ansi radical cure, 'for that most dread-
NI stage of the Venereal Disease, which -is called a etni-,
