was severely poisoned 10y Field Mercury,
resulting in the most fearful type, his
hands being a solid sore, causing every
nail but one TO drop off, The best of
medical aid was obtained and every i'm
aginable no>trum tested to no purpose,
until he was interviewed by the Agent
of DIR. Commits Napor, who promised
relief within SIX weeks or no charge.
He accepted, and after taking four
Baths, he was covered with fine spots or
pimples from head TO foot. Now, after
taking daily treatments but four weeks,
his hands are entirety hcdlfd and the Ivy
