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.

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.

About twelve months ago, Mr. ADAMS, (Park-keeper to his Grace the Duke
of Grafton) of Euston, Suffolk, placed his daughter under the care of
J. 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. Her friends closely attended to the directions
of J. Kent, who a few days since saw her father, when he said that his
daughter had thrown away her crutches, and was running about in good
health.

In March, 1826, MARY ANN BAKER, of Rattlesden, Suffolk, about 11 years
of age, was brought to J. Kent by the order of the Churchwardens and
Overseers of that parish. She was hereditarily predisposed to
Scrofula, and at this period had a tumour about the size of a hen's
egg on each breast; she had also _twenty_ ulcers on the breast and
neck, besides _twelve_ ulcers on the right arm: she had been in this
state upwards of two years; but by a steady perseverance in the use of
the medicines, and under the directions of J. 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.

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
