What can produce l'uch alarming indications of immature debi¬ lity ? Is it the unfeemly pradice, the folitary vice, which reafon, which nature condemns ? Suffice it to fay, that it is highly incum¬ bent on thole who have the care of feminaries to beware of the hidden evil—the Gnanian mifchief-—and prevent its growth ! The Phyfician’s duty is to prefcribe a cure to the already afflicted. The Solar Tindure, by its foftening, healing, and tonic qualities, as well as by its prolific and falutary effeds, affords a fure profped of returning ftrength, and a certain hope of mufcular invigoration, to thofe who can have fufficient refolution to defiflfrom the baneful pradice.

To you (who profefs to be the friend of man) it muft undoubtedly be peculiarly fatisfadory to hear of the efficacy of a medicine, with the difeovery of which you have been honoured by the Parent of the Univerfe. I am in the number of thofe who have experienced the beneficial effeds of your Solar Tindure, for which I defire to be thankful to God, and to return you my warmed acknowledgments. I have, from my childhood, been afflided with a fcorbutic complaint, attended with a nervous diforder, which firft difeovered itfelf by weak eyes, and cutaneo-us eruptions, in different parts of my body but with greater virulence in my face.

The medicine I fixed or was Cream of Tartar; but, foolifhly fuppofing that the more I took the fooner I Ihould obtain a cure, I drank it conftantly in water witn my meals, till at length my blood became fo thin, that, without any extraordinary exertion, my nofe haa bled to fuch a degree, as to render it neceffary to hop up my noftrils with tow, flour, &c. I then found it neceffary to defift from the ufe of this medicine ; but not fatisfied to continue in my then difagreeable fate, without fome effort to obtain relief, I took artificial Cheltenham water, but to little better purpofe than the former. About this time, I had the misfortune to kick my ancle, which, from a flight fcratch, pre- fently became a wound, accompanied with a very violent humour, extending from the foie of the foot to the knee. This fubjeded me to confinement and inadivity for nearly a year and a half. At this period I began upon Maredant’s Drops, which did me confiderable fervice ; afterwards I had recourfe to Dr. Waites’s Gingerbread Nuts, but finding little benefit I defffied from the ufe of medicine.
