    Another officer, returned from India, on hearing that Mr. Gould imported the Bael, kindly wrote him a letter containing a long account of its growth and method of preparing it, and says:— I hope with all my heart that you will make your fortune by Indian Bael. The world does not produce its equal as a medicine, yet hardly anyone knows anything about it. I showed some to the doctor of my regiment, and he tried it in his worst cases, and I think all got well from its use, except those who were too far gone. He also adds: —Mr. D., one of Lord Canning’s council, told me that Bael had kept him alive for years, as it always kept the disease (Dysentery) under. Mr. Gould begs to inform the public that he is constantly receiving fresh supplies of the various preparations of Bael from his agents in Calcutta. 198, Oxford Street, Corner of Orchard Street, Portman Square, London.
