MAJ. SAMUEL BRowS.
Sir had the honor Of receiving your letter Of the
2Sth Of April on the ooh Of May, and should have
answered II before this time, but absence from home
has prevented me: can truly sympathize with you,
Sir, and 1t will always give me great pleasure, TO write
and advise with my fellow creatures, and especially
those afflicted with the of all diseases, the Ora
veil my suferings for upwards OF eighteen years have
been beyond all description scarcely ever free from
pain day or night with broken down constitution n,
and fast travelling the grave. soug hi for and TIRED
all The remedies could hear Of, not only from our
regular Doctors, but from Indians, and Botanic Doc
tors and they all amounted To nothing but ittle tenn
porary relief But through the mercy Of God, was
informed Of the wonderful cures made by Doct, Sam.
uel ii p. Lee, Of this dreadful complaint. Now |
can say of truth that whereas was once deeply
ard sorely afflicted with disease the most painful,
even rendering life burden 10 me, ! can now say
with Joy, that am well man think that Doctor
Lee is dong more good in this disease IN our land,
than all the Doctors collectively, for he TO
tainty cure the Gravel and when say that, say
great deal have perused your letter over and over
again and can look back TO the time Of my distress
and sud rings all the symptoms which you have
mentioned in your case have passed through, and
experience all their awful realities and had an op-
portunity Of consersing with you, sir could enter in
10 all the particulars OF what have suffered with
the aforementioned complaint.
II was the opinion OF our most distinguished Ply
sicans and Surgeons, that Stone was formed 10 my
bladder, large Hens Egg; nothing else but
Doctor LEES Solvent could have cured me for took
no other medicine for eight months. ltbrought away
large quantities OF Gravel like gun powder, and at
time the course oftwenty four hours more tha
quart OF thick ropy substance passed from my bladder
resembling thick lime water; | have also passed up
wards Of one hundred Stones as large as Peas, with
colored une often bloody many Of the Stones
having every appearance Of being once joined oge-
ther, parts OF a large Stone Doctor LEES Medl-

sensation through my kdnles, as though was cleans
ing out the parts effected. took the medicine
six months steady, and my health was all the while
gradually improving.
As your complaint has been of long standing, il
will require time and patience TO obtain a cure and a
cure Is IN my opinion, certain II you follow the direc
tons of Doctor LEE. Sew ral cases of Gravel have
under my observation, of the most aggravated
character who have uniformly recovered entirely by
Doctor LES Medicine. II is truly pleasing sight

invaluable remedy discovered Ivy Doctor Lee And
now, my dear sir, let advise you TO place implicit
confidence in Doctor LEE and his Medicine, and fol
low st city his directions and trust many months
shall have the pleasure TO hear you relieved and
cured, and that shall see you in New York. like my
