    To thofe who already have been, or may be rejlored to Life and Health by thefe Drops. TH E many refpedlable Teftimonies in this Efiay to the Safety and Efficacy of Dr. Norris’s Drops, it is pre- fnmed, muft furnifh the moft convincing Arguments of the Pro- priety of your making Society acquainted with the Benefit you have received.—Humanity requires that no Confideration fhould induce you to withhold any Information whereby that firft of all earthly Bleffings, Health, may be extended to even an Indivi- dual ; but how much more is it incumbent upon you not to be lilent where Information may be the happy Means of rc- ftoring many, very many, valuable Members to Life and Health. The interefted Part of Society have fpared no Pains in reprefenting to the timid, and cfpecially to the Ladies, how improper it would be to appear in Print; yet, furely, the Fallacy of fuch Arguments, and the Motive, muft be obvious ; let any one for a Moment confidcr what would be his Opinion of ano- ther who was able to impart the Means of reftoring Health to a dying Parent or Child, yet withheld it from a Senfe of Delicacy, as it is called ! Experience has in all Ages been admitted as the beft and mofl certain Guide to Succefs, and fame of the moft eminent Phy- ficians and Surgeons in Europe are at this Time employed in felefting and publifhing the moft curious and extraordinary Cafes that come within their Knowledge; by thefe Publications the healing Art is extended, and made more certain, and alfo many valuable Lives faved to the Community. By whatever Means Health is reftored, and Life prolonged, the Patient and his Relations have received an Obligation that fhould induce him and them to make it known; and if it fo be, that the Cure has been effefted by a SPECIFIC REMEDY, at a Time when the officinal Practice has failed, the Duties of Humanity, as well as Gratitude to the Inventor, demand that nothing fhould prevent a Publication thereof, that the alike afflided may be thereby led t0 Relief and Cure.
