He imme¬ diately ufed great quantities of his Nervous iEtherial Balfam in¬ wardly, and of his yEthenal Opoieldoc outwardly. He inflantly employed feveral pounds of the befl frefh beat Peruvian bark, true cinnamon, red rofes, and of certain hving roots, herbs and flow¬ ers, by way of hot rich fomentations, fumigations, and cataplafms or poultices, to her head, hands, and feet.;—as frequent glyfle'rs aifo, and inwardly by the mouth, whether fhe fwallowed thefe rich antidotes and cordials or not. At intervals, vafl heaps of living herbs, with their roots loaded with their native Earth, were applied to.her nofe, mouth, neck, hands, &c.—and the Dodor well knowing the fupreme vitality of the freih external air, every window and door was kept moll widely open both night and day: and the next day he actually had her carried down into a pofl-chaife, covered her with the FRESH EARTH, and the living roots and leaves of aromatic herbs, and went with her round by Hampftead, and the Spaniard, frequently flopping to wafh her face, neck, hands., and arms, with water, and his famous ./Ethereal Opodeldoc, and to give her generous fparkling wine, and his Nervous iEtherial Bal¬ fam ; —and roufing her continually by talking to her, and rubb:ng her with the EARTH, herbs, &c.— and he had the' happinefs to bring her home aflonifhingly recovered ; although the Doctor con- fdTed beforehand to all her friends that he did not exped fne could be got alive into the chaife, far lefs brought home that day alive. Mrs. C. from that time, folely under Dr. G’s direction and medi- ci e, and enjoying the frefh air at Clapham,’ got well rapidly, has had feveral very fine children fince, and is now in perfed health1-; and both Mr. and Mrs. Cartwright, and all their friends, have al¬ ways thought it a great pity, and, indeed, injuflice to Dr. Graham, and to mankind in general, especially to ladies under fimilar dreadful and generally fatal circumftances, that this molt extraordinary cure was not made as public as poffible long ago, although hundreds of perfons are certain of the truth of the above wonderful and affect¬ ing fads. That the above is a true, though very brief hate of my Wife’s almofl miraculous, and altogether unexpeded cure, by God’s blefs- ing on the means and medicines ufed by Dr. Graham, is moil heartily and thankfully atteded by me, THO.
