eral members of his family; no less than
four of his children having been attacked with the disease: 1. His son
_John_ suffered from it in the groin and on the thigh; 2. His daughter
_Sophia_ about the neck and windpipe; 3. _Sarah_ was also afflicted
with it; 4. _Mary_ had several Scrofulous ulcers on the leg; these
were all patients of J. Kent, and received a perfect cure from the
treatment adopted by him.

WILLIAM NUNN, of Lawshall, near Bury St. Edmund's, about eighteen
years of age, applied to J. Kent, in May, 1832, in consequence of
having a Scrofulous enlargement on the left side the lower jaw: the
part affected had assumed an alarming appearance; but by steadily
attending to the directions ordered, a perfect cure was the result;
and his father informed J. Kent about three weeks since that he
continued quite well.

A young lady belonging to one of the most respectable families in the
vicinity of Stanton, had suffered for some time from scrofulous
disease of the left hand; and as her parents were in affluent
circumstances, no expense was spared in procuring the best surgical
advice in the kingdom; this, however, was to no effect, and she was
placed under the care of J. Kent, under whose treatment twenty-five
pieces of bone were extracted from the diseased part; and although her
health had become much impaired, she speedily improved, and ultimately
a perfect cure took place. Seventeen years have now elapsed, and she
has not had the least symptom of a relapse.

N.B.--Any respectable person may have reference to the family, on a
personal application to J. Kent.

JOHN STEBBINGS, Gardener, Rickinghall, Suffolk, in February 1830, took
his son James, about 4 years of age, to J. Kent. The child had two
scrofulous tumours on the left fore-arm; a large one on the right
thigh; and one on the calf of the right leg: the disease had been
about 9 months standing, and his health was much impaired. He had not
been under the care of J. K. but a short time before his health was
materially improved; and the tumours suppurated, healed, and got
completely well. He is now in good health and has had no return of the
disease.

After the reader has candidly and attentively perused the above cases,
I trust it will not appear to be necessary for me to extend the number
any farther, although it would be perfectly easy to do so. I
