would have been willing upon any terms to have
been in the condition OF the writer of the follow

anticipate somewhat his report of the facts, by
saying that on the 18th Of August last he made
me visit. "thc very picture Of good hcallh."-
Time which tries and proves all things, has suf
ticently tested this case, and shown that neither
relapse nor collapse have followed. the cure is
perfect, and can be cited among the scores of
similar cases the result OF my improved mode Of
