The Wonderful Efficacy of
MR. LIGNUM'S A NTISCORBUTIC DROPS,
Exemplified in the Cure of a Disease of 19 Years' Duration.
Nibthwaite, near Ulverston, May 10th, 1820.
the year 1799, when about eight years of
age, I was attacked with symptoms of a Scorbutic Eruption,
which alarmed my parents very much, none of the family having
ever before b.-en affected with so baneful a disease.
No cause could be assigned for its appearance, except, as it was
supposed, the improper treatment of the Small Pox, under which
I had laboured some time before, by which the blood had been
left in an impure state, which baffled every attempt of profes-
sional skill to effect a cure, or even to abate ; the suffering I ex-
perienced for many years, was such that death was looked for-
ward to as the only relief I could possibly obtain from my miser-
able situation. Two fingers upon my left hand, and one toe ou
nay right foot, were so contracted, that they appeared scarcely
half their natural length ; in this helpless condition a bed was
erected for me OD the ground fluor by the fire-side, which was
my only situation for many years," nay face foul with weeping,
and mine eyes the shadow of death," and, as I dimly believed,
would be so till nay dying day.
After I bad been in this state for about eleven yeah, during
which time my stature increased little or none, a neighbour of
mine gave me part of a bottle of your Drops, which I was advised
to take, but no visible alteration appearing, I considered them no
better lan the other medicines I had before taken, consequently
perseverance was not adopted, not being acquainted with their
real virtues ; but in time I gained some knowledge of theis,in-
trinsic reetits, and was resolved to persevere. Hope began to
glimmer, relief was afforded, my stature Increased, and at length
a perfect cure was obtained. It is now two years skate I kft off
taking the medicine, and I have had no return whatever of the
complaint, the marks only remaining as a proof of My suffer-
ings. I procured the medicine from the late Mr. J. Soulby's
shop, now kept by Mr. S. Tyson, King-street. Ulverstou, but can-
not curtly ascertain how many betties it took to effect a cure.
I will readily answer inquiries on the subject, either person-
eily or by letter post paid, and believe me, Sir,
'Your grateful and obedient servant,
JOHN SA RGENSON.
