gone. Her appetite, digeftion, and fleep^ grew na- 
tural, and fhe recovered flefli, ftrerrgth, and fpirrts. 
About fix weeks after her firft anointing, her menfes- 
appeared, and at the end of the next month flie had 
a regular return, of good colour, and in fufficient 
quantity, I faw her at the public room laft week, 
in as good health as I ever remember her td have en- 
joyed. 
Y ou may be fure this recovery was much talked of, 
and fet all the hydropics a rubbing. 
A man, aged fitty-five, from hard-drinking, and 
many wrong methods of cure, had been cachedtic 
fifteen years, and had often the fymptoms of jaundice- 
and dropfy. Half a year ago, his belly, legs, and 
thighs, fwelled to an enormous fize. He was with 
difficulty moved from his bed to his chair, and was 
given over, as a perfon in an incurable dropfy. About 
three weeks ago, he began to anoint. After three or 
four days rubbing, his urine was greatly incrtafed ; 
and in a fortnight, his belly, thighs, and legs, were 
wonderfully decreafed, and I faw him a few days 
ago Wrdking about the town, whereas before he could 
not move a joint. 
A woman of feventy years of age, of a thin ha- 
bit, who got a livelihood by carrying cakes about the 
town, fell in^-Q an afcites. Her belly was fo greatly 
diftended, that fhe was obliged to quit her bufinefs, to- 
confine herfelf to her houfe, and for the mofi; part 
to her bed. She anointed. Her urine foon increafed 
in quantity, and continued to do fo. She was at my 
houfe this week, as lank, as fhe faid, as a maiden,, 
and in as good health as flie had enjoyed for many 
years.
