![[18]. About a year ago, I accidentally met with your- Treatife off this diforder, and finding your Thefes to correfpond with my complaints exactly, began to take your pills. They have produced the effect you defcribe in your book, one never failed to clear my ftomach which was formerly fo- diftrefted : nor to (hake off any attack on my feet, which has been made three or four times during the lafit year. About three weeks ago, I was feized with a regular and violent attack on my foot; by taking two pills, I was en- abled to travel near two hundred mile s; but fhortly after my arrival in town, I catched cold and exercifed too much and was again laid up. T he diforder having now arrived at a crifis, and being regularly eftabliftied in my foot, 1 had the mo ft complete opportunity of trying the virtue of your pills. The evacuation from even one pill, has been mon- » ilrouSjtbo’ neither my fpirits nor ftrength were ever dimi- nifhed by it. I continued, however, to take one almoft every night. The difcharge fublided in proportion as I got ftrength in my foot, ’till at laft, the pill produced little or noeffedl; then, Sir,I was perfectly cured. This fit has lafted but eight days, was never violent, nor confined me an hour to my bed ; and I am convinced that without the enormous difcharge, which the pill produced, I fhould have fuffered as fcverely as formerly, which was as much as man could fuller. My cafe may do you as much credit as any you have published. I beg you may make ufe of it as you think proper, and that you will believe me, Sir, Your grateful and moft obedient fervant, EUST. STAWELL, Tate Captain in the 44th Regiment. Ma$](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b28148654_0020.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
