SCORBUTIC COMPLAINTS.

BOSTON, JANUARY 29, 122 f.
GENTLEMEN--I am happy to inform you, that the
sale of your Medicines is increasing; zad also that I have re•
ce:red, from the most respectable quarters, unsolicited testimonials
t.,f their beneficial effects. The following remarkable case I have
permission to hand you for publication. I am not at liberty to publish
the name of the party, but have leave granted to refer to hies any
person who may make personal epplicatiou to me. I give the par-
ticutare in the words. of the youth's father, extracted from a letter
now before me : " About two years ago my son, who resides in
the vicinity of Boston, had a violent Scorbutic humour broke out
in his legs and thighs: sea-bathing, warns-baths, and other re-
nted!,:s were used, hut without suceess ; he grew worse. The most
eminent of the faculty were consulted without any benefit. Ills
liegs and thighs then became of a dark liver colour, and were co-
vered all over with large sores, which itched so violently, that he
could not be preVented from scratching them, until those parts be-
came almost one continued sore, accompanied with the most acute
pain. Added to this affliction, his knees and andes became so
much enlarged and stiff, that when be sat in a chair, he could not
put /Os legs out, and was scarcely able to walks he was frequently
to be carried up stairs to bed. Th:s brought on night
sweets, which were so violent, that they ran through the feather-
bed upon the mattress, and his sheets, blankets, and bed-quilt were
nearly' as wet, frem• the great perspiration, as if they had been
dipped in water, and were obliged to be dried every morning for
several weeks together. We now began• to despair of a cure, fear-
ing he would become a cripple ; at length we noticed in the Papers
one 01 the cases at York, cured by Mr. leatinst's valuable Dimes,
which induced us to give them a trial. We procured a es. Gd.
bottle, and before be had taken the whole of it, he began to retain
his strength, and the night sweats gradually decreased ; we, ther.t.
fore, persevered according to the direction% and continued using,
the Drops until he had taken about the quantity of three 11s. bottles,
which, l am happy to say, performed a gradual and perfect cure ;
and although it is new eighteen months since, there has been no
appearance of a relapse; on the contrary, he has grown and
in-
creased in strength in a wonderful manner since his recovery.** I
have only to add, that as the ftther of tlo- youth is a pee-- an of in-
dubitable veracity, I can therefore v:eich for :he correctness at
every iota or the above statement, and remain, Gentlemen, your's
respectfully, JOHN NOi.H.E, Bookseller, Boston.

JEOPARDY AND ESCAPE ;
OR, SWINDLING INGENUITY.
1 N Brussels, where pt iz'd is the durable time
I. Of WARREN'S Jer ISLAcritio, a fair Lady came,
In splendid array, to a Mercer's shop door,
And purcbas'd cf silks a most valuable store;
The tradesman then ens ring with grateful expansion
Her carriage, the cash to receive at her mansion.
Anises!, for a moment the Lady retir'd,
The drawing•room suite while the Mercer admied ; •
At last his companion's return when invoking—
,' She's gone !" said a servant with coolness provoking,
" What, gone!" cried the Mercer, " gone otf with my Silks !
So thus then it is that a tradesman she bilks!
This is not bet Mansion ?" 0, no, Sir ! " Whose then r
" Be calm," said the servant, " your wildness restrain,
And know that front Reason Derangement to wile him.
You now are confined in a Maniac Asylum !"
The Mercer, arrayed in a pair of bright Boors,
Now rav'd 'gaitist the female of swindling kursults;
" Yes, yes, I am mad," he exclaim 's!, " and my brain
Shall never its wonted serenity gain !"
His feelings of fury now mounted so high,
That measures proceeding at once to apply
Of rigid coercion, the keepers then saw •
Teir shades in the JET of unrivall'd eclat ;
And Led as they stood, with a.l.azeturnt aghast,
To Freedom the imputed lunatic pass's! !
0, fortunate event; the swindler was trac'd,
And thus the rich Silks in the shop were replac'd.
The Mercer adverts to the chance with much glee
That set him from duress and jeopardy free;
lit Brussels, while Taste and high Fashion are backing
The wizard of incident, Wataan's Jar BLACKING !
