Mr.. w. w. Potter,
Sir,-I hereby give you a statement OF
my case, and you arc at liberty 20 use il in a
ny manner you may think proper.
About four years ago | became afflicted
with a complicated case of Scrofaia and
White Smelling during this period placed
myself under the care of upwards of eighteen
respectable physicians in Boston, Pitt5burg,
Albany and this place, but their prescriptions
were in vain. My arm became useless, the
elbow joint being very much enlarged, and
so covered with ulcers, that my physician
fearing modification would take place, adj
rised me 10 submit TO dmpmGtiOn, but this re-
iected. On my back there was an ulcer a.
large as the palm OF my hand, which became
so painful that | despaired Of ever being re-
stored to health. or even getting relief. Ha-
wing seen a similar case 10 my own which
was cured by your ineniuabie Cnihohc0h, as
the last resort applied for it, and the happy
result is, from its use about three months
am perfectly cured. JOHN HEALY.
N. b. As | am about leaving the city, for
information as 10 the accuracy Of my case,

be referred to-.
