did so; and found her in the condition above described. J. K. immediately commenced his peculiar mode of treatment, and in a very short time the sight of the eye was restored, the jaw-bone became released, and the face perfectly sound and well.--J. Kent understands she is since married, and living near Norwich; but her friends are still residing at Haveningham, and will satisfactorily answer any inquirer.

SARAH WILLIAMS, daughter-in-law of Mr. Abraham Harvey, bricklayer, Long Brackland, Bury St. Edmund's, aged about nine years, had been afflicted for upwards of five years with a violent scorbutic humour on the head and behind the ears; and both the eyes were so much affected with scrofulous inflammation, that she could not bear the light upon them, and the discharge and irritation rendered her situation quite miserable. After the best advice had been procured in vain, she was perfectly cured by J. Kent in a very short period of time; and, although two years have elapsed, she has had no return of the complaint. Her friends will furnish any further information which may be required, with great pleasure.

JOHN GOODING, Gent., Brook Street, Ipswich, now about 70 years of age, had a severe attack of scrofula on the right thigh; he was brought over from Ipswich to Stanton, when J. Kent found the thigh swollen to an enormous size, attended with considerable inflammation, and with a large quantity of matter formed between the muscles and integuments. The pain was excruciating, and his health had declined extremely; and it was with the greatest difficulty that he was moved about. He had had the very best medical attention, without producing any good effect; but by taking the medicines, and using the applications prepared by J. Kent, and paying strict attention to the injunctions laid down by him, suppuration soon took place, and the discharge was excessive. The health soon began to improve, the parts affected assumed a favourable aspect, and in three months he was perfectly well; and although 20 years have passed over, Mr. G. has had no return of the disease. Mr. G. is still residing as above, and always communicative on the happy termination of his case.

PHILIP MORLEY, of Mildenhall, Suffolk, about 17 years of age, applied to J. Kent, at the Half Moon Inn, Bury, in consequence of scrofulous disease of the back. It was hereditary, and he complained of much weakness in the back, and had a very languid appearance. On examining the back, there was an ulcer situated on the spine, just below the shoulder, which discharged a thin whitish ichor. It had been about 12 months' standing, and had rendered him nearly incapable of following his business as a tailor; and it appeared to be fast bringing him to the grave. However, by a steady attention to the means prescribed by J. Kent, he soon found himself better, and a perfect cure was the result. He is now living in London; several of his connexions are very respectable, and reference may be had by applying to J. Kent.

THOMAS HUNT, aged 18 years, was placed under the care of J. Kent by the churchwardens and overseers of the parish of Norton, Suffolk. He had been for 12 months labouring under an attack of scrofula; there were two scrofulous ulcers on the right side 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
