SCORBUTIC COMPLAINTS.

Boston, January 29, 1825.
GENTLEMEN—I am happy to inform you, that
the sale of or Medicines is increasing, and alma that I have
received from the most respectable quarters, unsolicited teatime-
'Dials of their beneficial effects. The followiug remarkable ease I
have permission to hand you for publication. I am not at liberty
to publish dm name of the party, but have leave granted to refer
to him any person who may make personal application to me. I
give the particulars 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 break out in his legs and thighs; sea-bathing, warns baths,
and other remedies were used, but without success: he grew worse.
The most eminent of the Faculty were consulted without any
oenefit. His legs and thighs then became of a dash liver colour,
and were covered all over with large sores, which itched so vio-
lently, that he could not be prevented from scratching them, until
those parts became almost one continued sore, accompanied with
the most acute pain. Added to this affliction, his knees and antics
became so much enlarged and stiff, that when he sat in a chair, he
could not put his legs out, and was scarcely able to walk : he was
trequently obliged to be carried up stairs to bed. 'ibis brought on
eight sweats, which were so violent, that they ran through the
leather-bed upon the mattress, and his sheets, blankets, and bed.
quilt were nearly as wet front the great perspiration, as if they had
been dipped in water, and were obliged to be dried every morning
fur several weeks together. We now began to despair of a cure,
testing be would become a cripple; at length cow noticed in the
Papers one of the cases at York, cured by Mr. Lrosuat's valuable
baon, which induced us to give them a trial. Nlie procured a
4s. 61. bottle, and before he had taken the whole of it, he began
to regain his strength, and the night sweats gradually decreased;
we, therefore, persevered, according to the directions, and con-
tinued using the Dann until be had taken about the quantity of
three 1 ls. 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 increased in strength in a wonderful manner since his
recovery." 1 have only to add, that as the father of the youth is
person of indubitable veracity, I can, therefore, vouch for the
f•Klectness of every iota of the above statement, and remain, Gen-
n, your's respectfully,
• JOHN NOBLE, Bookseller, Boston.
