TO THOMAS TAYLOR, ESQ.
No. 9, NEW BRIDGE-STREET, LONDON'
Q IR—I consider it but an act of justice due to the
kJ merits of your LEAKE's PATENT PILLS, to communicate
to you the following Cure, se/Nth has recently been performed
by them :—An acquaintance of mine, who by the breaking out
of an old Venereal Complaint (attended by a complication of dis-
orders arising therefrom) was reduced almost to a skeleton, and
although be had the best medical advice which could be obtained,
and tried a variety of patent medicines, nothing could be procured
which seemed to suit his case or to de lam any service; he re-
mained in a most reduced aid pitiable situation for two years,
unable to follow his profession, and scarcely able to walk or even
to staid on his legs ; in fact no one who knew him ever supposed
it possiblefor him to recover. He was advised at last to try your
LEAKE'S PILLS—he did so, adhering strictly to the ciLrections
given with them—he had not taken more than two boxes, before
he found an alteration for the better; this encouraged him to
proceed and by taking a few boxes more he found his appetite
and strength gradually return, and is now as healthy and stout as
any man I know. You are welcome, Sir, to refer any person to
me for a confirmation of the above account, if it should be
doubted. I axes, Sir, your obedient humble servant.
