TO THOMAS TAYLOR, ESQ.
No. 9, New Bridge-street, London

HONOURED Sin,
IBEG leave to inform you, that ever stncc the
year 1790, I bad been afflicted with the Imes Venerea ;
which, from its obstinately resisting every cstursc of medicine,
prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here, 'and un-
!ergoinv severalseVere courses of salivation, and twice
dis
changed from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to
be of the most inveterate nature. In the spring;•of last year
my disorder 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,
one on each arm, and my legs were broke out in a frightful
manner; my right was dreadfully painful, and had been in a
state of ulceration for the. last.seven years ; left pact also
two large nodes ou .it, was very much discoloured, and gave
ine' such excruciating pain, particularly when warns in 'bed,
as nearly to deprive me of rest ; iu this lamentable state, I
was recommended by Mr. 3. Thompson, (who received so
great a cure by them here), to take your Leake's Patent Pills,
which 1 began to do on the 2fitb of May in the course of a
fortnight I began to:receive benefit- -in little more than a
mouth the ulcers on My bead and arms were s,iundly healed—
soon after, the sores on my legs healed also ; leaving, how-
ever, conr-iderahle discolouratipn in the skin, and pain its the
bone 'of to Mt, Which, by the ble.sting of God, and a little
longer perieverance..in your invaluable Medicine, sul4ssded ;
the node's 'di-Sri-sing, the skin reg'ng its uctural hue, and
the nocturnal pains gradually going. off.—l thus became, try
gong libernl advice and medicine, perfectly'free from all my
former complaints—have. recovered my former spirits avid
strength, and am beCome jolly and fat, in which state bar ng
oontinucd many months, to the astonishment of all who knew
ate, I am at a loss in what terms to express toy gratitude, hut
beg you, for the good of other suffering mortals, to make
this my ease as public as possible, as I shall on every occa-
ion ; in so doing you will greatly oblige,
. Sir, your grateful, obedient, very humble servant,
