Sir William faith, as for what may be wrote inQppofition to our Medi¬ cines, he values not a Rufh ; becaufe by the Trial he has made ; he may venture to affirm, that never a Cure of the Kind was ever found out before this Time. Dec. 31. gives an Account, that he had not taken any Medicines for about a Fortnight, owing to the Negligence of the Carrier, that he went on molt fuccefsfully with them •, was troubled with a Loofenefs now and then, which he always ftopt with the Powder. In thePoftfcript, Sir William's Words are. “My “ Ailment was certainly a Stone in the Bladder, “ and Gravel in the Kidneys, which now I thank “ God for it, I am fo free from, yea even of Slime “ and the Mucus -or any Symptom that way, that “ I am in Hopes I fhall be able to get abroad as “ foon as it is fine Weather. I have voided lately “ a Piece or Fragment full as large as any Dor~ “ fet/kire Pea. January 30. he returns a great many Thanks for all the Care I took, and Diredions I had given him during taking the Medicines, which, he iaith, tended fo much miraculoufly, under God, to his per- fed Cure, which he then enjoyed, that if the Sea- fon would permit, he could venture a Journey on Horleback, at leaft 30 Miles a Day. Only he felt ftill a trifling Pain in his Kidneys, and for that Reaion never would be without the Medicines \ tho’ he had left off the full Quantity: that long be¬ fore he began with them, he could not walk the Length of his own Garden, and had intolerable Pain, when he went to Stool: and defired of fame Members of Parliament, who were then in Town, and Sir William's particular Acquaintance, to wait on Mrs. Stephens, to return his Acknowledgements of Thanks to us both for our great Care of him.
