    *. • • Xlll ' - / I The pmicipal benefit I have derived from your instructions and fuendly intercourse, has been in the mode of applying the truss, not obliquely as is usual, but after the manner described by Mons. Arnaud ; so that the line formed by the hoop or spring is exactly in a circular direction. The trouble you have taken, in order to the revival of this method, does you great credit; and the publication of it must prove useful to un¬ prejudiced persons, who will fairly make the experiment. I know your intention to be honourable and disinterested, in thus stepping forward to serve your afflicted fellowr-creatures. If you cannot persuade yourself to put your own name to the next edition of your pamphlet, I do not decline to afford it my feeble sanction, by permitting the insertion of this letter; but I hope you will see * the piopiiety of informing the public to whose benevolent exertions they are indebted for so useful a treatise. % \ , . / With due respect I remain. Dear Sir, , * Your obliged Friend, To TV, IL T. Esq, WILLIAM BLAIR/
