FOR THE GOOD OF THE PUBLIC.

WHEN an individualhas experienced any parti-
cular mark of kindnefs, in which his welfare and happi-
nefs have been confideribly promoted, nothing is more natural
than to feek out the perfon by whom we hate been ferved, for the
purpofe of exprelling our grateful fenfe of the favour bellowed.
Bu tin cafes of health,where we have been recovered from the lift
deplorable Rage of debilitated nature, and reftored to the full en-
joyment of all the various bleflings of 114:, we are forcibly called on
by every confideration, to acknowledge it in the moftpiiblic man
ner. Wo owe this equally to our own feelings, which mull be
fenfibly awakened on the occafion to the &ill and talents of the
Donor, which merit every encomium, and to the public at
large, in order that thole who may Rand in need of fimilar be- •
iefits, may know *here to receive them. Having made there
general obfervations, I shall proceed to Rate the particular cafe
that has occafioned them, and to lay before the public the falu-
-1 tary Jens that I have experienced under the greatelt afflictions
that can poffibly befal us. I was born and educated at Win-
chefter, and at feventeen years of age went to the Univerlity at
Oxford. Prior to my leaving Wincheftex, and more particular.
ly at College, I was reduced to the molt grievous Rate, by the
horrid and unnatural pradlices, too lucid.. of to youth, and which
are not more baneful to oar health, than finful in the eye of Gun.
I 1 wasat firft afflicted with a dimnefs of fight, a weaknefs in my,
loins, and a depreffion of fpirits. In this fituation I applied to
Baron Wenfel, the famous oculift, who informed melt proceeded
fronthe optic nerves. 1 for fome time followed his advice, till one
day returning from Shooting, I was feized with a numbnefs in
my limbs to fuch a degree, as to lead me to conclude that I
bould entirely lofe the ufe of them. This induced me to put
onyfelf under the hands of Dr. \ ' of Oxford ; but neither his
aid, nor the waters at Bath, whit place I vifiied, afforded me
the leaft relief; my fpirits at leng .vere fo ferioufly tiepreffed
with violent palpitations of the heat and my llefh fo mach de-
eayed, that I became a mere ikeleton. bferving, however, in the
Bath papers a publication by Dr. Brodum, intituled, " AGuide
to Old Age," dedicated to his Majefty, I was induced to perufe
the fame, when I fortunately dikovereal the complaint I bad fa
long laboured under.
I have the happinefs to add, that by following the advice
contained therein, and going through a complete courfe of Dr.
Brodurn's invaluable Nervous C ordial,l am now,th.ink H Envy: N,
perfetly recovered, and as well as ever I was in my life.
I have lince quitted the Univerfity, and am going to enter
into the holy Mate of matrimony, with a determination never
to be without " A Guide to Old Age ;'' anal, at the fame time,
I think it my duty to advife all young men to follow my example,
as a perufal of this excellent book may happily prevent the af-
, 'Pied from being precipitated headlong to an untimely grave,
which, but for Dr. Brodum, would malt inevitably have been
n) .sfe. I am, Sir, your's, &c. &c.
