ve have visited the Ihnnsonan Inm mary recently

believe that is better calculated to do it justice,

aiken his medicines and have them repeatedly given
wit a
patients quite ill., His peculiar manner Of mixing
them goes to make them agreeable and paatab!e ard his
seeming skill in timing aud proportionng the doses to.
the age and strength Of the patient and disease met
warlnes admiration. His vapor and meicated baths
truly luxurious and given in the most delicate and
agreeable way and perfee understood by the female
attendants, under the direction of Mrs Arson and Doctor
Thomson The whole process, from what we have seen
and experienced may be undergone by the most timt
lady delicate child without the least apprehension Of
danger in any point of view the contrary, with much
advantage, when it is needed. We would recommend
all the afflicted 10 the Thomsonians and to the Petersburg
lnrmary, believing firmly that it is great place for the
cure Of all durable diseases.

is essential to his comfort and happiness Ivey believe
that the system Of medicine invented by Samuel Thorn

which is given 10 US for government and direction, to
pursue truth, and hold to it, and never to give up any
known plain matter of fact for conjecture. several
your patients heard of several cases. and witnessed
several; your and attention to the afflicted
under your Immediate charge and this had great effect
upon me; but the Of my dying boy has cast the
scales from my eyes, satisfied my Judgment and confirm
