North Minims Place, March 4, tSo3.

To the Worthy and IndependentFßEEMEN of the CITY

of COVENTRY.

GENTLFMEI/ '
AS a Writ for your Etedion of a Represenia.
tive will probably soon be issued, I think it my
duty to take this early opportunity of publicly declining the
friendly invitation I have received, to offer myself again as a
Candidate; I am induced to adopt such a line of cenduti,
not from any doubts I entertain of the success that would
attend pea effort: in my behalf, hut from a considenttion of
the circumstances, which, previous to the milt Election,
liperatcd upon my rnind„And led vie then to exprest my wish
to retire from your service—Titat from a surrey of Very sev;,re
mistOrtunes, which since my first lileelion I had unexpect-
edly expenienced, I did not possess:, the leisure necessary to
a p toper discharge al We the duty of ft a situation as thc Re.
presentative of a great Commercial City, nor a-Foritihe ade-
quate to.do.eredir ro it. .

These objections, I was at your particular request in-
duced at that tune to wave, I aeLordingly'cimiplied with
your wishes, by standing as a Candidate. and successfully
defended:your grossly insulted Rights and Privileges.
IA Willing again to engage in the fatigue, and inconvenience
Of a Contested Elettion, I wish now to retire,. Ord 1-may
be the more of at liberty to-pursue, by an attention to
business, the interests of my. Family.
In quitting a Situation, I haveby your favour held
for many years, I derive great sattifadion in the recolleCtion
-of the repeated marks of your approoation bestowed upon
me in your several Votes of Thanks, for my attention to
your Interests; but gratifying as such testimonials must be
to my feelings, iny satisfaction is greatly increased from know-
that.the Bill witi.:ll I. was the means of obtaining in the
last Parliament, with much difficulty,' from the opposition
of Mr. Bird, intitled " A Bill tor the Better Employment
and Relief of the Poor of the City of Coventry," has not
only had the.desired uffe6t, but has exceeded the most san-
uine expectations that were forratd of its success, the
Pbors' Rates being, from the operation of the Bill, mate-
rially diminished, and the Poor better provided for titan at
any former period.
With my most sincere wishes for your future prosperity,
and very grateful acknowledgments for the titvours you have
conferred upon me,
I have the Honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient and obliged Servant,
PaII-Mall, NATHANIEL JEFIIERYS.

PERKINEAN SOCIETY.
it\e'r a MEETING at the COMMITTEE of
the P ERKIN FAN- SOCIETY, held on Tuesday,
March• t, 180 e, several important Papers, addressed to the
Secretary, haying been read, it was resolved, that.the follow-
ing Letter from HENRY LVSTER,',Esq. of Bath, many
years Senior Surgeon of the Dublin finspital, should be -pub-
liehed in the Morning Post, the Morningiterald, the Times,
and the British Press, as such a comMunication front a me-
diCal cherader,_ of the first respedability„ must afford the
greatest satisfaction to the Friends of the proposed Perki-
ttean lnstitutioo, as well as to all candid anel disinterested
Persons, who may yet entertain doubts concerning the cal-
caek of the Metallic Tractors.
To the SECRETARY of the CO MI TrnE on the Esta-
blishment of the Pt RK.11,1 EA 141 INSTITUTTUN.
Sta. Bath, i'eb. g, 184;
Understanding that it, is the.inteetien of the l'erkinian
SoCiery to publish, together with their own transadionsesucll
communications on the Efficacy of the Metallic Tractors as
May be addressersto them for that purpose, I have conceived
you would no; be averse from receiving and.giving publieiiy
. to a feweeperiments I have Made. •
• It it now above four years since I first beeaine posSessed of
a set of the Tractors. During this period, I have used them
in 4 great variety of Cases, as well on infants as Adults ;
and from the long and extensive pradice in which I have
been engaged in the niediteti profession, feel InytA;liAtli ill,
quaiiti4 to express anopinion on their merits.
My experiments, which hey." been some hundreds.in num-.
ber, have been concluded from the beginning with caution,
and particularly: whit a view of bringing • the contested
question on their virtues to the test of the ~trident scrutiny ;
and I think I am authorised to assert, that had some of my
brethren in this place carried on their nveetigetion in the
same manner, end with the same views, they could not
possibly have made such representations on the tnerits of the
ra4tors, as the public have witnessed..
The result of my trials has been. to establish Perkinitn3
very high in my eStliTiatiOn. I have performed Cures by its
means, which I have neither done myself, nor knownothets
to have done, with any other .Medical Treatinent. 1 shall
subjoin two or three Cases, and leave others to judge tram
them of Mr. Perkins's Traitors.

CASE I-I'OTAL BLINDNESS IN A CHILI).
A Roy, about six or seven years of 'age;; of a domestic
in the family of Mr. Ranzzini, the 'celebrated musician, was
brought to my house by his mother, in a stati3Of tot:4,1111nd:
ness. This had taken place in consequence of the Small
Pox, and had already existed for some years, theugh I am not
certain of the exact time. On exam timing the Eyes, I perceived
the exterior Coats were violently inflamed, and immediately,
set about applying the Traclors.• After a few'minutes ap-
plication, instru4ted the N.i,ther how to use them, which
she did for about as minutes, when I told her. it was suf..
ficient for that time. •On examining the eyes again,. I saw
that the inflammation was greatly lessened. HiS Mother
then taking hold. of his arm to lead him away,. the Child
cried out, `• Mother, you free4l nut lead me now, I 'can sec I
1 can see the floor I Lean see the chair I can see ill; Qen-
tleinan's face I" She came daify with him ihr about three
weeks, in which time his eyes were cured ; and when I last
saw her, which was huts short time after, she told me the
boy was' at school; and an perfea possession. of his sight. I
ought to have Mentioned, that the usual medical means had
been previously- tried, without the least benefit. I trust.
this Child will not be laid- to have owed his cure either to
imagination or. to nature.'
LASE lI.—VERY VIOLENT RIEEt/MATISM.
A Servant Man belonging te Mrs Plunkit, of the Circus;
afiliated with a most violent Rheumatism, which affededell",
his limbs, in seal a iTiahrier that he was incapable of ctress..
ing, and almost of doing any thing to help himself, came
my house, or rather was assisted to come by a fellow-ser-
vant. I instradeci the man who came with him how to use
the Tractors, which lie did, as the Patient lay on the sofa,
for about ai minutes, drawitig therti over his arms and legs.
In this time the, pain was greatly relieved, and he went
away in vet,' jespect much .tmended ; when he, calla the
next day, he said he had been able to dress himself; which
he had not done before ter many weeks. This man repeated
his 'visits daily for about three weeks, and received his cure.

CASE FITS.
I was called to meet Pr. Parry, in a case of Epileptic Fi,s,
On a lad of about nineur ten years of age, the son of Mr.
Clarke, an eminent Attorney atlas place. After examining
the case, I propOsed a ttialof the Tratiors. Dr. Parry assent
ing, I began by drawing, them over tie head in almost every
direction, but especially down the oc.,..tput to the veriebrm of
the neck. From that inoment he rt.r,,,N- had another tit. To
prevent a return, I continued their use daily for several Weeks:
Previous to the trial, of the Tradots, he had been subjel to
these fits as often as once a day, audit-0m their severity, and
long continuance, was very.much redueed. He- remains to
this day in perfect health, and is a temarkable fine lad. It
is now four years since the operation.
I could multiply caSesibut these ffi aresudient ; and I trust
the More reasonable part. of the Public-will not differ from
me in the opinion, that the attempt to ascribe such effi;ets to
imagination, is too absurd to merit serious consideration.
Wishing every success to your laudable institution, I have
the honour to be, Sir,..
