venereal disease, so depleted that could do no
work and had no wish to live. Away from friends
and home my sutferings were intoerable. As a
last release called to see you, and your encour-
aging advice gave me some hope, although it was
small at that time At any rate / determined to
try for had every thing to gain and nothing to
lose in the way of health; for die must as then
was. Now mark the change-from day to day
grew gradually better, until | now enjoy perfect
health-and although l am not strong as /
could wish, yet am gaining strength every day

most of them. | Introduce to your favorable
consideration the bearer of this note; he is trou-
bled in the same way although not so bad as was
Cure him as you have me and he will thank you
as fervently as do, and let me tell you that the
blessings Of an honest man is worth more than
dozen fees. Give my respects to Little & Co,
and say to them that | send my thanks for the
able way they prepared the medicines you pre-
scribed. Dear doctor, / have written this letter
with the expectation that you will publish it, for
which you have my voluntary consent. and hope
it will meet the eye of some suffering fellow
taland that he will follow advice and consult you
at once, thereby freeing himself from his dire cal
amty. Respectfully your humble patient
