bed, went home, (my parents then living
in Brooklin, L. I.,) and employed our family
physician, DR.. R., whose standing as skill

that city My case was internal, and bled
profusely. DR.. r. advised me 10 be taken
TO the country, TO abstain from eating hearty
food, and TO take magnesia, table spoonful
three times day; accordingly went with
my mother 10 Norwalk, Connecticut, where
we spe2t three weeks, following the Doc.
tors most excellent advice, but with no BEN

commenced series Of experiments OH my.
self; bought liniments and electuaries,
which wero were highly recommended, and
used them, my disease growing worse, if
possible, from the irritation they Produced
| then procured from my old medical library,
works treating upon the disease, read them
and after learning its nature, commenced the
preparation of an ointment for myself; and
after various trials found myself improving
| continued its use faithfully, using magnesia
and oil TO keep my bowels regular, for about
a msnth, when was perfectly cured, and
have not had an attack since. Ofcourse my
curiosity was highly excited to know whether

getting patent for 1t TO ploiect the afflicted
from imposition by connterfeis---and
kindly offering his services in taking on my
application, which accepted; and having
tried the ointment in so many cases with
perfect success during the last ten years,

in all its farms, and Tins alleviate much of
human suffering
