DEAR SIR,
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
ABOUT Twenty Years ago, my fourth Son,
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
James, now 31 Years of age, had a lump grow un-
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
der the skin, on the side of his face and neck, which ap-
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
prehending to be a wen, I took an opportunity, while he
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
was sleeping, to cut off a good lump of it with a sharp
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
pair of Scissars; it discharged blood and water with little
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
pain: some time after this his arm and elbow became stiff
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
and swelled, and burst into four holes about the joint,
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
which were happily healed by excluding the air and keep-
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
ing him at work; but, I imagine, from not giving him
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
proper medicines to purge off the humour, it appeared
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
again some time back, in a little hard lump on his throat,
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
which by slow degrees increased so much, as to render his
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
swallowing any thing exceedingly difficult, and put him in
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
danger of being suffocated; this swelling at length broke
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
in several places, yet did not relieve him, nor did the cut-
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
ting it in another place, by a

, do him any service,
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
as it still continued to increase, several of the faculty
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
were consulted, who all agreed it would prove fatal. His
<
lb
>
</
lb

mother, thinking to get better advice, took him to an
<
lb
>
</
lb

eminent Surgeon (at the head of a public Medical Insti-
<
lb

tutuion, in a neighbouring capital town), who, on the se-
<
lb

cond consultation, informed her, sall was in vain, the disor-
<
lb

der would kill him, and to do any thing for it would only
<
lb

</

hasten his death. In this my child's dreadful situtation. I
<

thought it high time to apply to you, for some of your

April last, according to your directions, and in a short
<
lb

</
lb

time had the happiness to observe the hardnesss and size
<
lb

</
lb

of the swelling gradually diminish; he was soon after
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
able to swallow with perfect ease, and in a few months
<
lb

</
lb

all the sores entirely healed up firmly and soundly, the
<
lb

</
lb

hardness, Etc. being so entirely obliterated, as not to leave
<
lb

</

the least appearance of it: in this state he has continued
