4. So far, therefore, is the application of vital air irom 

 deserving to be branded on the stage as quackery, that it 

 most perfectly nccort' i with the Brunonian system, now 

 almost universally received. 



5. Perhaps of all remedies for the cure of diseases, when 

 properlv administered, thiii is the most harndess and effi- 

 cacious. Some have occasionally had recourse to it for five 

 years past, and one geutlenjan, in an obstinate disease,, 

 daily, for six months. 



6. I shall conclude, therefore, these remarks with saying, 

 that however it may be estimated by Mr. Morton and 

 others, the philosophic world will, I am sure, wish to 

 see this remedy continued ; and 1 shall content myself 

 with their approbation, and a consciousness of the integrity 

 of my own motives.

To Mr. Tilloch. 



SIR, 



X WOULD thank you to insert the following cure in your 



Magazine. 



A Case of Ulcerations in the Leg, cured hy Vital Air. 



Mrs. Mead, set. 45, living at Kinsbray, near Edgware, 

 had five large ulcers in tire left leg, which extended along 

 the calf toUie ancle, and had resisted every attempt made 

 to cure them for two years. She was advised by Dr. Thorn- 

 ton to inhale the vital air, and place herself under my ma- 

 nacrtnient. He ordered her bark, steel, with myrrh, a? 

 medicine, and the common unguents were employed to 

 the ulcers, and occasionally a weak solution of oxygenated 

 silver. Tlie ulcers in a lew days, from an ichorous dis- 

 charge, put on an healthy appearance, and the cure of the 

 ulcerations was perfected in less than three weeks. Her 

 limb has since remained sound ; it is now upwards of six 

 months, and her health is completely re-established. 

 I have the honour to be, sir, 



Your obedient humble servant, 



Henry Robert Ince.
