Cafe iji. W. A. A labouring man, of a fallow dufky 

 complexion, who for twelve years paft, had been afflided 

 with phegadenic ulcers in his legs, and for the laft eight 

 years a fchlrrous liver and fpleen, for which the moft pow- 

 erful deobftruent, aperient, and alterative medicines had 

 been prefcribed without efFe£l, was employed in finking 

 the Bath, and digging drains, to carry off the wafte water 

 for ten days, during which time he was generally up to 

 his knees in mud, ochre, and water. In that time the ul- 



rs on his legSvintirely healed up, without the ufe of any 

 kind of medicine or dreffmg, except a piece of linen cloth 

 over the fores* He was then retained as bath keeper, in 

 which ftation his bufinefs led him into the bath feveral 

 times every day; and in eight weeks (during which time 

 he conftantly drank the waters) the diforder in his liver 

 and fpleen gradually gave way; and at this time, without 

 the ufe of any medicine, he has perfedly recovered his 

 health and complexion. To him the waters at firft proved 

 gently purgative, and afterwards diuretic.

paft had been affli£ted with violent rheumatic complaints, 

 to fuch a degree that at the time of his coming to the bath 



it was with difficulty he could raife himfelf when feated, 



and the mufcles of his neck were fo rigid and eontraded 

 that he could not move his head; he found fenfible benefit 



from the iirfl ufe of the bath, and by continuing it for 

 about {twtn weeks, perfedly recovered his health, and the 

 ufe of his limbs.

 vi^eaknefs at his ftomach, inability in the organs of digef- 

 tion to perform their office, and at times a general laifi- 

 tude and wearinefs over every part of his body, brought 

 on by too violent exercife. Upon drinking and bathing a 

 fhort time, he received very fenfible benefit, all his com- 

 plaints ceafed, and he gained a much better appetite than 

 he had ever experiencedwhile labouring under his diforder..
