d a tumour that exceeded twenty-two inches in circumference. She was totally incapable of any employment, the pain was excessive, and the case truly alarming. Having had the best advice that could be procured for her, without producing any good effect, she committed herself wholly to the care of J. Kent, under whose treatment the tumour soon suppurated, and discharged upwards of _three quarts_ of matter the first time, and not less than _two gallons_ before the cure was completed. Since then, more than _twenty-four_ years have elapsed, and she continues perfectly sound and well. 30. A professional inhabitant of Bury had suffered severely from a scorbutic eruption, affecting nearly the whole body; after trying a great number of remedies for a considerable time without deriving any benefit, he applied to J. Kent; by attending to whose instructions, he was perfectly cured. Reference may be had on a personal application to J. Kent. 31.

Kent, in consequence of her having been for some time afflicted with a scrofulous enlargement of the left knee; indeed, the knee was so much diseased and contracted that she could not walk without the assistance of crutches.

Kent, she received a perfect cure. _I saw her September 14, 1833, when I found she continued perfectly well; in good health and spirits._--J. KENT. 33. In case 14, page 24, of this pamphlet, the case of JOHN FAIERS of Great Ashfield, Suffolk, is described; and it is again adverted to in order to shew the hereditary nature of Scrofula, which is remarkably developed in sev
