“ very foul faces have been quite cleared ; and, at 
“ this time, a gentleman’s fon, nine years of age, 
£C with a herpes round fne neck, which had proved 
{C extremely obftinate to other means, has got a per-

“ and his lifter, a young lady of eighteen, who, from 
“ an untoward recovery from the mealies and final 1- 
“ pox, fell into a fort of habitual eryfipelas on the 
“ face, head, bread: and arms, is now uling them, 
“ and, I think, with evident advantage. Some foul 
<c ulcers on the legs, and one with every appearance 
“ of a carious thigh bone, have been perfectly cured. 
“ And a fervant-maid in my own family, who had 
“ been for feveral years, periodically in the winter, 
afflided with fevere rheumatic pains in her arms 
<c and Ihoulders, received remarkable benefit from 
“ this water, one fummer; in fo much, that the 
<c winter fucceeding fhe had little or none of her 
“ rheumatic pains, and her appetite and digeftiqn 
“ were much improved.”
