    which was fo violent as to render it painful for me to hear or play upon the Piano Forte. In the autumn of 9'2, I again had recourfe to medicine, but could not obtain a cure. About Michaelmas I law your advertifement, and bought a bottle of the Solar Tincture, from which I experienced fo much benefit as induced me to continue in the ufe of it. I have taken nine bottles, and hope, by a little longer continuance in the ufe of it, to obtain a perfed cure. Iam, Sir, with due refped, your humble fervant, JOSEPH DEAR. [See Dr. Sibly’s Medical Mirror, p. 118.] For WEAK NERVES and LOWNESS of SPIRITS. Take a table-fpoonful of the Tindure, diluted in an equal quan¬ tity of cold ferine water, every forenoon, at eleven or twelve o’clock, or fourteen succeflive days ; then ufe it every two or three days for a month, and the complaint will be entirely relieved, as patients will fenfibly feel, by their alertnefs, adivity, and unufual flow of natural fpirits. Sir,—I have for fome years, laboured under a fcorbutic taint of blood, with fpurious windy complaints; within thefe few months alfo my legs began tOiweli,and eruptionsbroke outin themtoavery alarm¬ ing degree. Being nearly eighty years of age, I almoft defpaired of receiving any relief from medicine, till I was prevailed on to make trial of your Solar Tincture. After fome perfuafion, I confent- ed ; and, though brought to your houfe in a coach (for I was not able to walk) tor your advice, I made ufe of your Solar Tindure, according to the printed diredions, and was able, not only to walk, but my legs returned to their ufual fize, perfedly recovered, and the fcorbutic complaint totally removed. I think, in juftice to fo valuable a medicine, I could not do other- wife than requeft you 10 publifli my cafe, and the wonderful cure on one fo aged ana debilitated. I am, &c. Robinfon’s Lane, Chelfea. J. GARDINER. [See Medical Mirror, p. 122.] For MUSCULAR DEBILITY, or an ENFEEBLED CONSTITUTION. Let the patient take one table-fpoonful night and morning, for nine days, m an equal quantity of warm water; then reduce it to one fpoonful per day, for nine days more; after which, the quan¬ tity of one fpoonful in \ glafs of cold fpring water every other day, for ten days, will ufually be fufficient. It may afterwards be taken every two or three days, as the patient may himfelf think neceflary, or as the ftate of his conflitution may feem to require, which he will find furprifingly recovered, his mufcular ftrength and vigour returned, and all the fluid fecretions promoted and reftored. Should it be fuf- pe&ed that any impure taint is lurking in the blood, either from the lues venerea badly cured, or the dangerous ufe of mercurial remedies, it will be neceflary to continue the medicine for a longer time, and never to omit taking it every fpring and fall. The reafon for this is, that when mercury does not cure, it fixes the difeafe ftrongly in the habit, and the patient is ever after fubjedt to the fcrophula. Sir,—It will give you fome degree of pleafure to be informed that I am arrived to that fluidity of health, which not only renders my life com¬ fortable, but exceeds my molt fanguine expe&ation.
