SCORBUTIC COMPLAINTS. •
Boston, January 29, 1825.
GENI'LEMEN—I am happy to inform you, that
the Sale of your Medicine is increasing, and also that I have
received, from the most respectable quartets, unsolicited testimo-
nials of their beneficial effects. The following remarkable case I
have permission to hand yeu for publication. I ant not at liberty
to publish the name of the party, but hate leave granted to refer
to hint any person who may make personal application to me. I
give the particulars in the words of the youth's father, extracted
trom a letter new before me-4 About two years ago, my son,
who resides in the vicinity of Boston, had a violent corbutic
humour break out in his legs and thighs; sea-bathing, warm baths,
and'other remedies were used, bat 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 covered ail over with large sores, which itched so Ski.
'hotly, that he could tot be prevented front scratching them, until
those parts became almost one continued sure, accompanied with
the most acute pain. Added to this affliction, his knees and ancles
became so much enlarged and stiff, that when he sat in a chair, he
could not put his legs oat, and was scarcely able to walk : he was
frequently obliged to be carried up stairs to bed. This brought on
night sweats, which were so violent. that they ran through the

feither-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 cure,
fearing be would become a cripple; at length we noticed in the
Papers one of the cases at York, cured by Mr. LIGNUM'S
VALUABLE DROPS, which induced as to give 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
slecreased ; we therefore, persevered, according to the directions,
and conticued using the Drops *nth he had taken about the quan-
tity of three 11s. bottles, which, I am happy to say, performed a
gradual and perfect cure; and sltbotigh it is now eighteen months
since, there has been no appearance of a relapse ; on the contrary,
helms grown and increased in strength in a wonderful manner
since his recovery." I have only to add, that at the father of the
youth Is a person of indubitable veracity, I can, therefore, vou:h
toe the correctness of every iota of the above statement, and re-
maks, Geutleaum, your's respectfully,
