    The following notice appeared in the JVew York Express, in October, 1840 :•»- Infirmary for the Gravel.—Doct. S. H. P. Lee, for so many years known as the discoverer of the celebrated New London Bilious Pills, has removed to this city and opened an Infirmary at No. 3G John street. Dr. Lee is so well known through this country it is hardly necessary to speak of him. We have been acquainted with him for thirty years. He is a regular physician of established reputation—a gentleman of intelli- gence and character. For a number of years he has been a successful practioner for that disease, which is said to be so excruciatingly painful and dangerous. He has established himself here to extend his sphere of usefulness, and has exhibited to us a great number of private letters from highly respectable persons, who state that they have been entirely cured under his treatment. Dr. Lee is a gentleman in whom the public may place entire confidence.—JV. Y. Express. From the JVew Era. July 22, 184L Dr. S. H. P. Lee.—The Courier and Enquirer says that this gentle- man has discovered one of the most important remedies in the Materia Medic a [alluding to his remedies for the gravel], and from our own knowledge of its sure efficacy in curing a disease, than which there is scarcely a more painful or more dangerous one in the long list of which frail nature is afflicted, we do the public more benefit than we can possibly do him in making known the source where the malady can be removed. Dr. Lee is well known throughout the country in his general character of an able and learned physician of long standing ; but he is not so well known as he should be for his eminent success in the particu- lar disease to which he now devotes his attention. An educated man like him, who has ranked with the highest of his profession in his own State for years, and who, with the nice feelings of a gentleman and a Bcholar, disdains the clap-traps of quacking, is not very likely to seek a newspaper notoriety ; but knowing him as we do, we have the right, we think, to say what we have of him.—Editor JVew Era. From the Pennsylvania Enquirer and Daily Courier of October 22, 1841, Published in Philadelphia. A highly respectable citizen called upon us yesterday, and stated that he had received much benefit from the remedy described below— also that he had heard of its efficacy in several other cases, and requested us to give it a place in our columns, not in any puffing spirit, but for the benefit of suffering humanity. The medicine, we learn, can only be obtained in New York. The Stone and Gravel.—Whoever can arrest the progress of these dire foes to human health and happiness, must be deemed an eminent benefactor to his species. We understand, from authentic sources, that Doct. S. H. P. Lee, who is a regular practitioner of medicine, and has long been of high standing in his profession, has effected many remark- able cures in these distressing complaints, and never fails to afford early or immediate relief. We, therefore, but discharge a duty to humanity in giving publicity to these facts, and cannot but think that other paper* by so doing would confer a benefit on the community.
