SIR, Guilford , March 14, 1749. 
I HAVE found very advantageous and uncommon 
EfFedts from the Ufc of the Waters of JejJop’s 
/Veil. Some of my Patients who have drank them 
fteadily and cautioufly have been cur’d of obftinate 
Scurvies. As I had a long time ago Reafon to think 
there was a fine volatile Spirit in them, I therefore 
oblig’d fome to drink them for a Courfc of Time at 
the Well as an Alterative, with very happy Confe- 
quences. When I have order’d them as a Purge, 
they have work’d very fmartly, but have not difpi- 
rited. I am glad to have it in my Power to confirm 
your Sentiments by my own Observations ,* and am 
Satisfied thefe Waters, if continued a proper Time, 
and taken in a proper Manner, may be render’d 
very beneficial to Mankind, according to the beft 
Opinion that can be formed by 
SIR t
