    aucun ressentiment ni du tic douloureux dont je souffrois de- puis plus de IS mois, ni des rhumatismes dont j’dtois tour- mentde depuis plusieurs amides, je m’empresserois de vous dcrire pour vous informer du plein succes de vos soins. Je remplis aujourd’hui cet engagement en vous ecrivant la prd- sente, il la quelle je vous permets de donner toute publicity et par laquelle je certifie que j’ai dte complettement gudrie par suite de la cure que vous n.’avez administrde. Adieu, Mon- sieur, recevez l’assurance de ma plus parfaite estime. La Comtesse TYSZKIEWICZ, Princesse PONIATOWSKA. [Translation.] Paris, April 6th, 1S25. Sir,—I 'begin by thanking you for the small vial of oi^ which accompanied your letter of the 15th of March, and beg that as soon as you have received the parcel you expect from India, you will, according to your promise, send me a small stock of your oil, I mean the stronger of the two sorts. As you never would mention the price, allow me to present you with this small piece of plate as a token of my gratitude, which I feel myself bound in duty to acknowledge, for my perfect recovery in consequence of the treatment you pre- scribed. I told you. Sir, on my leaving Brighton in the month of October last, that if the winter passed without my feeling any return either of the tic douloureux with which I had been afflicted for more than IS months, or of the rheu- matism which had tormented me for many years, I would hasten to apprise you of the complete success of your atten- tions. I now fulfil my engagement by writing the presen to you, to which I give you leave to give full publicity, and by which I certify, that I have been completely cured by the remodies you have administered to me. Farewell, Sir ; re- ceive the assurance of my most perfect esteem. La Comtesse TYSZKIEWICZ, Princesse PONIATOWSKA.
