TO THditis TAYLOR, ESQ.

•
SIR No. 9, New Bridge-street, London
CoNSIDER it but an act of justice due to the
merits of your LEAKE's PATENT PII.LS, to communicate
to you the following Cure, which has fecently been performed by
them. An acquaintance of mine, who by the breaking out of an
old Venereal Complaint (attended by a complication of disorders
arising therefrom) was reduced almost to a skeleton, and altho'
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 do him any service ; he remained in a
most reduced and pitiable situation for two years, unable to fol..
low his profession, and scarcely able to walk or even to stand on
his legs; in fact, fio one who knew him ever supposed it possible
for him to recover. He was advised at last to try your Leake's
Pills—he did so, adhering strictly to the directions 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 my man,
know. You are welcome, Sir, to refer any person to me for a
confirmation of the above account, if it should be doubted. I ant
Sir, your obedient humble servant, THOMAS PURDAY.

DR. GILBERT's VEGETABLE ANTISCOR

4s. 6d.—The variety of diseases that prevail at this stfassn of the

ted stomach, or obstructed perspiration, it is with the fullest con-
-fidonc • of success that wet; trenuously recommend this unrivalled
medicitte to public notice, as being a certain preventative and
cure for numerous diseases, particularly the land and sea scurvy.
cancers, king's evil, ulcerated sore legs, running wounds in any
part of the body, leprosy, eruptions after the small-pox or mea-
sles, inflammation in the eyes, St. Anthony's fire, rheumatism and
rheumatic gout, slow, nervous, and intermitting fevers, acid all the
ong train of disorders which attend the scurvy internally.
'Fite following remarkable instance of the wonderful effects of the
VEGETABLE ANTISCORBUTIC DROPS,
In those dreadful diseases termed the Scrophula, was attested
before Sir John Wilmot Prideaux, Bart. chief of his Maesty's Jut-
tices of Peace for the County.of Devon, 22d of December, 1805 :
I, Solomon Acning, of Colyton, in the said County, Stone-
mason, was, about five years ago, seized with a violent pain in
my side and head; soon after, a humour broke`in my neck,
near the coUar-borle, and became a desperate Wound ; in about three
weeks after three more wounds broke out below my ear, and a
large gathering appeared on the other side of my neck, which
cauaed suck extreme pain I could not gain any rest night or
day. then took a bottle of Dr. Gilbert's Vegetable Antiscor-
butic Drops, soon after those wounds healed, and the humour
abated, but not persevering in the medicine a sufficient time, a
violent swelling affected one of my legs, and my knee became se
stiff and enlarged, the faculty deemed it a white swelling, and
treated it as such fur a considerable time. I now became a per:
feet cripple, soon after my afflictions were greatly increased by a
powerful inflammatory humour, which settled in my eyes and
nearly deprived me of sight ; my whole frame now became bur-
thened with this disease; the crutches which I had long used
were no longer of use, I became confined to my bed. The last
advice I had from my surgeon was to get myself removed to one
of the London Infirmaries, this I did not approve ot; it appea.red.
doubtless whether 1 could undertake the journey. At my wife
.s
request I put myself a second time under a course of Dr. Gilberts
Vegetable Antiscorbutic Drops, resolving to give them a fair
trial ; the wonderful effects produced a favourable alteration, and
by the time I had taken "even or eight bottles, I became a sound
titan, every wound heaied,my leg and knee returned to their for-
mer size and strength, having for several months not felt the least
symptom of the aforesaid complaints, and I enjoy a very good
state of health. SOLOMON ANNING.
