SIR, IAm cured, by the ufe of Maredant’s Drops, of a moft afflrding diforder of the fcorbutic kind, after trying every medicine that could be thought of for my relief, in vain. My cafe was as follows: I firfl had fmail pimples come out on my head and face*, in a little time after, my face was covered with blotches, and on the lide of my nofe, fpungy flefli grew as big as a fmall nut; the fame round my eyes and mouth, though not fo large, with blotches on my body, arms, and in the palms of my hands, attended with fo violent a pain in my head that I had almoft loft the fight of my left eye, the pain being moftly on that fide. I was in this lituation till January laft, when by Providence, I met a gentleman, who was then at Bath, but is hnce gone tO' the Weft Indies; he recommended Mr. Norton’s Drops to me, by which/ medicine he had been cured of moll: ftiocking ulcerated legs. I am now in perfed: health, and am continually praying for the welfare of the author of fo valuable a medicine. JOHN ATWOOD, Toy-maker, Market-place, Bath, / As
