SCORBUTIC COMPLAINT&

Bonny, JANUARY 29, 1825.
GENTLEMEN—I am harpy to inform you, that the
sale of your Medicines is increasing; and also that I have re-
ceived, from the most respectable quarters, unsolicited testimonials
of 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 hint any
person who may make personal application to me. / give the par-
ticulars 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. warm-baths, and other re-
medies were used, but without success; he grew worse. The most
eminent of the faculty were consulted without any benefit. His
legs 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 these parts be-
came almost one continued sore, accompanied with the most acute
pain. Added to this affliction, his knees and ancles became so
touch enlarged and stiff, that when he sat in a chair, he could not
put his legs out, and was scarcely able to walk ; be was frequently
obliged to be carried up stairs to bed. This brought on night
sweats, 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, from 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 care, fear.
ing he would become a cripple ; at length we noticed in the Papers
one of the cases at York, cured by Mr. LIGNUIeII valuable Doors,
which induced us to gin them a trial. We procured a 4s. 6d.
bottle, and before he had taken the whole of it, he began to regain
his strength, and the night sweats gradually decreased; we, there-
fore, persevered according to the directions, and continued using
the Drops until be bad taken about the quantity of three 1 Is. bottles,
which, I am happy to say, performed a gradual and perfect cure ;
and although it is now 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 father of the youth is a person of fis-
dubitable veracity, I can therefore vouch for the correctness of
every iota of the above statement, and remain, Gentlemen, your's
respectfully, JOHN NOBLE, Bookseller, Boston.

Properties of the Sarsaparilla Root, even to a peefect satura-
tion of the Meustrum with which it is prepared. To such persons,
therefore, who, from various causes, would experience great incon-
venience, or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare
the Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses the advantages
of portability and of keeping in any climate, will be found a most
desirable mode of employing this much-esteemed Medicine.
The Diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are those
of the Skin, such as the Scorbutic Affections Eruptive Diseases,
Secondary Symptoms, &e. arising from a diseased state of the
system at large. It is taken in Water, rendering it of the same
strength as the Decoction.
