MEDICINE.

HoNotrami 11rt,
I BEG leave to inrornt you, that ever since the
rear 1700, I- hail been alitieted with' the Liles Venereal,
which, from its obstinately iii very com se of medicine
prescribed by the nicst. eminent of the faculty btu:" and iin
dere,oing..severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice dis-
charged front the Hospital with little relief, would appear to
be of the-mast inveterate, nature., In VA, spring of last yea,
my disorder hail got to such a head, as nearly to put a period.
to my existence had a large ulcer wain, crown,otmy heaeJ,
one on each arm, amt my legs were broke oat in a frightful
manner; my right was dreadfully painful, and had been in a
state of ulceration for the last seven years my left had also

toe such- excrticiating pain, particularly when warm in bed,
as utterly to deprive we of rest; is this lamentable statti,

fortnight I began to receive benefit -in little more than a
month the otcers on my head-end arms were soundly%licaled—
soon atter. the sates on rly legs healed also; leaving-, how-

Though Barbadoes has -suffered considerably,
yet the damage is not so exteniiveas to relftire
more assiirance than vehat:; the Island itself can
afford ; but, in the more northern range, from
St. 'Thomas to St. Martins, the diStress must be
univerial. As for Sr. Thomas, St. Johns, St.
Bartholornews, and St. Martins, they are not in-
deed British property, (if I mistake not, they were
all reitored by the treaties of 1802, and 181.6),
but our own island of Tortola, has suffered to an
extent that deMands instant attentiOn. That
island has of late yeati been improving rapidly.
Indeed; I think, I can 'safely assert that the sum
total of property destroyed there by the hurricane,
is considerably greater titan the whole island pos-
sessed cfreen years ago : taking the former from

newspaper reports, and estimating the latter hoar'
my own personal observation.

,
From an intimate acquaintance with the people
of Tortola, .1 can safely aver, that there is no
island in the West buries, and 1 have seen them
all except Jamaica, the inhabitants of which arc
more worthy of the commiseration of their fel-
low-citizens. . Tl;ey are au enterprising, loyal,
hospitable people; and, with the exception of
one unhappy man who paid the forfeit of his
crime, have'been long remarkable for their kind-
ness and liberality to the slave population. So
much so, indeed, that on the art ival of two Mis-
sionaries, about the year 1793, the sum of 18001.
currency was raised in. a very few months, from
the Slaves alone, for the erection of a Chapel in
Kingston, the little Metropolis of the island.
How far the•happiness of thele poor people was
improved by the doctrines of •thoser apostles, May
be drawn from the style of preaching and its
consequences. I was myself an ear-witness of.
one of their discoorses, which the poor ignorant
creatures VI erd exhorted to look " toilteNetif Je-
rusalem, where there were no cane holes to :dig •
under a verticle sun, no cruel .task-mast;rs_ to
drive them to their work.; bat where they would,
hang their harps upon the willows, 'and sing
songs.of praise to the Lamb,"..&c.-1 quote the
words precisely ;
:for I was so struck with them
as to mention (tie fact on the ensuing day in coin-,
pail with the then President, and several Mem-
mre of the Council and Assembly ; which led to
in active watch upon tliose Missionaries, who were
soon after sent off the island. •It was indeed pot
100.5000, as the desertion of Slaves ((iry'off one
plantation alone, Windy Hill,
,the Master and-
Mistress of which were like parents to their people)
rendered the measure imperatively necessary.
- One anecdote will snffice to shews the extent
of the delusion. A tender belonging to the Uoi!4.
frigate,' then on the scat ion„fell in at break of day,
with a launch, containing upwards of twenty, of
both sexes, and of •all ages, running'down before
the wind under a blanket, between St. Thomas
and yorto Rico, when the following shoit dia-
logue passed—,, Where are you front ?" " From
" Tortola,' Massa"—" Where the H— are you

l'he boat was of course, brought up to Tortola,
and two of the leaders convicted and banged as

amiable consort buried ire the ruins. In regard to
that very 'estinrable'woMan, it may be amusing to
your Female Readers io hear the
dote :---Sometime in '1799, Mrs: El F,TH NGThhT,
then in England, took a passage on Iluard ,the
Mariner, accompanied by a young lady as compa-
nion, and Sailed with other Ships Cinder' the cOn-
Yoy.of 'n-frigive ;, but they had scarcely. got Cl,ar
el the_ Channel, s hen, in consequence of a heavy
sea and 1301:3ing winds, the Mariner was run •totil
of by a lie.a y ship at ila*u of day, lost her fore-
most,' and was expected instantly to:ro down.
The alarm brought the two ladies on deek,in their
' night-dresses, and, in the midst of the impending-
danger, they jumped ofd their own forecastle upon
Arat,of:the Other:ship,-When a heavy sea separated
the trvu vesels, leaving the ladies on board she
stranger, the whole of their baggage remaining
in the'Mariner, the Master of which, to save his
ship Jim! :people, was forced immediately to hear
uli !or.Oymouth. As day ativanc:tl, a signal of
distress was made to the frigate, on board of
which the ladies were soon carried, wrapped up
as well as circumstances permitted ; and the Cap-
tain and Officers clubbing linen, cot and cabin
curtains, palarnpores, &c. the fair ones were once
more cloathed, but in such a motley manner ai to
excite- considerable -surprize 'and wonder at Tor•
tole, un'il their mishap was explained.
If this little anecdote should draw attention to
the general question, it mill, Mr. Editor, be
highly gratifying to Your's,
