HUBBARD, Trumbull Co., June "a, 1851.
DR.. TUBBs, Sal herewith send you
partial account of my past sickness. For
the last ten years have been somewhat
afflicted with dropsy, and for two years
before seeing you with what is called the
"milk leg" My limbs become swollen TO
most wonderful size, and the painI bore
from them was greater than | can describe
to you. For some months they retained
the same appearance when the skin yielded
or broke giving out free discharges, some-
times forming deep sores and at other times
issuing from the raw surfoee. No less
than two gallons of watery substance
would drip Fl ON them in twenty four hours.
notwithstanding this the size remained
enormous, and the excrutiat.ng pains una
bated. In this awfnI condition | spent two
years, though constantly taking medicine of
some kind. We employed eight different
physicians, besides consulting number Of
others, and using patent medicines, but moth
ing relieved my distressed limbs. ] since
learn that few physicians or others thought
it possible for me to get better. When |
applied to you last September was entirely
discouraged and ready to give up all medl-
cine. Yours had a different effect from any
had before taken. A, first the discharges
increased and the limbs appeared worse,
then they began to improve. In three
weeks the pain wholly left me, and has not
since returned. The swelling gradually
went down and the surface become smoothly
healed. Some months ago was able to
attend to my work. The hardest of which
i nave SluCC anu COutiuu0 W
Joy very comfortable degree of health.
MRS. DOROTHY LYONS.
2. S. Since writing the ABOVE. learn
taht reports are circulating abroad that my
disease has returned as bad as before which
is not true. For years my health has not
been better than during the past six
months. d. L.
