![nestiraable Medicine, which, after giving it a trial, proved its erficacy, by complete!) •estoring me to the blessing of health, and to a much stronger constitution than 1 had enjoyed for fourteen years before. Percy Lambert, at Peckham Rye- [The Writer of the above Letter, in the course of recommending the Medicine to the \fflicted in various Disorders duiing 24 years, has had occasion to observe its wonderful efficacy in Fifty Cases, many much worse than his own.] PARALYSIS, SCURVY, Ac.— Mis. Bennett's Case. “ Sir—Rarely has any occurrence excited more astonishment than my surprising Cure, the particulars of which language can but faintly describe. 1 owe my health, indeed my very existence, to your invaluable Piet-Drink. u From my infancy, I was of a dry scorbutic habit, very unlike most other young persons. As I grew older, the disease became more obstinate. Medical means were resorted to, but to little purpose: the disorder seemed to settle in my hip ; so that, in fact, I appeared partially paralyzed. A change of air, for fourteen weeks, was in vain tried. Not content with the advice of the most eminent men in Deptford, who exerted their utmost skill, my Husband sent for a Physician from London, under whose care 1 remained for a twelvemonth, in a state of suffering which 1 cannot describe, my death being daily expected. A friend recommended Webster’s Ceres isia ; but, in consequence of having used other means, which 1 then thought far superior, I was reluctant at first to do so. At length I was prevailed on to take it, omitting all oti er Medicines, stiil allowing my Medical Attendant to visit me daily; who, about fou-' days afterwards, declared that he found, by my pulse, I was evidently mending. The searching and operative effects of the Cerevisia tried me vers?' much, which in my weak state might be expected, and at which none need be alarmed. Notwithstanding I was only able to be lifted from one bed to another, yet, by my appetite being strengthened, and taking more nourishment, 1 was soon enabled to be raised up in bed; and, daily mending, could in a short time sit up in a chair. Afterwards, I began to mend very fast; and, by degrees, the use of my limbs was so completely restored, that I could walk a great distance, to the utter astonishment of all who before knew me. A perfect cure is now effected, by the use of the Cerevisia only.” CASE OF RHEUMATIC FEVER. “ Sir—I am anxious to inform you that my daughter, Selina Abbott, is perfectly restored to health by your invaluable Medicine, after taking it about two months. Her case was that of entire loss of the use of her limbs, originating in cold and rheumatic fever. She was between fifteen and sixteen years of age. “Lambeth, 1847. “C. Abbott.” CASE OF RHEUMATISM. “ Giltspur Street, City, March 23, 1857. “ Gentlemen,—Being fully convinced that your most valuable Medicine needs onl^ to be known to be more universally used, I enclose my case. 1 had a violent attack of Rheumatism, and for want of sleep was almost worn out. I was recommended your Diet-Drink, and, after taking it, found myself so much better, that, resolved to persevere in its use, I am now fast gathering my strength, and my general health is so much improved, that I now entertain a confident hope of complete recovery.—I am, Gentlemen, yours respectfully, “ William Scriyens.” To the Proprietors of Dr. Webster’s Diet-Drink. Extract from a Letter from an eminent Solicitor at Tunbridge Weils:— “ I will thank you to send me two more bottles of your excellent Cerevisia, as 1 cannot keep free from the Rheumatism without it, “ J. S.” REMARKABLE CURES OF SCURVY AND SCROFULA. “ After having incautiously drunk a glass of cold water when much heated by walking, the little finger of my right hand became very much inflamed, with a small red spot: the eruption soon spread all over my body, producing several large wounds on my arms and legs; the right side of my face was so much affected, that I greatly feared the loss of my eye ; and my physician thought it would be requisite to remove some joints of my fingers. In this helpless and wretched condition, praying for death, I was taken to the seaside ; but in a short time returned worse than I went, not being able to walk across the room, without the most excruciating agony in all my limbs.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b30469776_0017.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
