DEAR SIR--lIaving entirely recovered from my
sickness. avail myself Of this opportunity to re-
turn my thankful Acknowledgements for the relief
that you have given me. When think of the
distressing bodily weakness under which have
suffered, and the nervousness, headache. fearful
ness. want of confidence, dizziness, restlessnesS,
weakness in the limbs. loss of memory, confusion
Of ideas, dislike for society. nocturnal emissions,
and many other symptoms which had made my
life miserable; can hardly express the gratitude
feel, for my existence had become burthen to
me, and nothing afforded the least satisfaction.
whilst now feel perfectly well and can ENJOY life
to my entire satisfaction. Knowing that there are
many afflicted as have been. you have my per
mission to make use of this letter You think
proper. Believe me gratefully yours.
