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 several 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.

July 30, 1833.

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 presume enough has been stated to show the superiority of my mode of treatment; and if there be any who can rise from the perusal of these cases, and doubt that superiority, they "would not be persuaded though one rose from the dead."

In conclusion, I would beg to state that many who have experienced the good effects of my treatment of scrofulous diseases, frequently have recourse to some of the medicine every spring and autumn, as an alterative and a preventive. This prudent, cautious conduct, I would strongly recommend to all parents, guardians, and heads of families, who have any reason to apprehend the disorders of their children, or those under their care, to arise from a scrofulous predisposition; and by such timely care they may prevent those dreadful consequences which too frequently arise from neglect or improper treatment.

KENT'S

CELEBRATED

VEGETABLE ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS

Have now been before the public a period of fourteen years, after ten years' experience in private practice, of their salutary effect in a variety of instances; and their increasing demand unquestionably proves their superior efficacy in rousing the action of the liver, and cleansing the stomach of slime and acid matter. The proprietors offer them in full confidence that they will generally answer the purpose for which they are intended, and be found an excellent remedy in all obstructions of the bowels and disorders of the stomach, arising either from a redundancy of bile, or a deficiency of that important secretion; from flatulency, indigestion, or cold. In the sick head-ache, the speedy relief they give is wonderful; and they are particularly calculated to strengthen the digestive organs. They promote the powers of digestion, create appetite, disperse flatulence in the stomach and bowels, and in a little time remove all the painful effects of crudities, indigestion, and habitual costiveness. They are gentle, but safe and certain in their operation, offering no impediment to business, and are not liable to leave any disposition to costiveness. The proprietors pledge themselves that the pills do not contain a single particle of mercury, antimony, or any other mineral, but that their composition is purely vegetable.

The pills are prepared only, and sold by the sole Inventors and Proprietors, at their own house in Stanton, in Suffolk, in boxes 1s. 1d., each, duty included; and by the following authorised agents. Thompson, Bookseller, Bury; Robinson, Bookseller, Ditto; Gall and Nunn, Chemists, Ditto; Fitch, Chemist, Ipswich; Cupiss, Chemist, Diss; Chapman, Chemist, Thetford; Breeze, Chemist, Ditto; Woolby, Bookseller, Stowmarket, and by most respectable Medicine Vendors.
