de the neck, and a large
tumour under the chin. By attending strictly to the plan ordered by J.
Kent, a change soon took place for the better, and in a short time the
lad was perfectly well. Three years have elapsed, and he has had no
return of the disease, continuing well, and in service. Any further
inquiries may be made of the parish-officers or of the patient.

In 1811, Mr. GEORGE ROSBROOK, Saddler, of Barrow, near Bury, Suffolk,
was attacked with a scrofulous complaint in his left thumb, from
whence it removed to his left hip and thigh; from thence to the left
knee, and then into his face and the glands of his throat; from whence
issued a clear water, insomuch that he was under the necessity of
keeping a piece of sponge constantly applied to it, especially at meal
times. In this disagreeable situation, he continued for more than two
years, during which time he had taken the best medical advice the
country and London could afford, without experiencing any material
benefit; and, in April, 1814, he applied to J. Kent. Not many weeks
had elapsed, before he perceived such an alteration, as induced him to
persevere in the use of the Botanical Medicines and Applications till
the following September, when he was perfectly cured. And although
_nineteen_ years have intervened, no relapse has taken place.

In 1811, RICHARD WHITBY, of Ipswich applied to J. Kent, afflicted with
scrofula in the right side of the face, attended with great swelling,
and the jaw-bone was entirely set fast. The pain he endured deprived
him of rest, and rendered him incapable of work. At length a place
broke in the inside of the mouth, and discharged very offensive
matter, and several tumours also gathered under the jaw, and on the
same side of the neck, and terminated in wounds. However, by the use
of the Botanical Medicines, he soon obtained relief, and in a short
time was perfectly well, and continues so to the present time (1833.)
_Twenty-two_ years have elapsed since the cure was effected.

In 1826, Mr. WILLIAM RUFFELL, farmer, Cockfield, Suffolk, about 21
years of age, applied to J. Kent, grievously afflicted with an
extensive scrofulous wound, in the right arm-pit. The effect of the
Botanical Medicines may be learned from a perusal of the following
extract of a letter, which Mr. R. publicly addressed to J. K. in
1817:--
"_I now enjoy a good state of he
