DR.. Bourne take sthe liberty TO publish tho
above, as many persons had prOphesed the re-
lapse into his former condition, on returning to
his duties, Of the writer Of ''1An Interesting Let
ter" whose statements concerning the cure OF u
well-defned case OF consumption have recently
attracted SO much attention to the Water Cure,
as improved upon and practised by DR.. Bourne.
This additional testimony must prove satisfactory
to all reasonable minds. 1t should be remembeed
that DR.. Bourne uses no medicines whataver, and
that his patients almost universally are those who
have failed to receive relief from the medical
practi titiOners; yet they are cured with great ra-
pidity and in pleasant and agreeable manner.

AN INTERESTING LETTER.
Very few persons, even among physicians,
would have been willing upon any terms TO have
been in the condition of the writer Of the follow
ing letter on the l4th Of February last l will
anticipate somewhat his report Of the facts, BY
saying that on the 18th August, inst, he made mo
q visit, "the very picture OF good health. -
Time, which tries and proves all things, has suf-
fcienty tested his case, and shown that neither
relapse nor collapse having followed, the cure is
perfect, and can be cited among the scores of sim.
treating diseases without medicine.
