OPEN SORES.-Socn after my return from l;^"Slar.d, to La Forte Imbaulr. in France, in July last 1 was informed bat one of my cottagers had not been workmg for two """"'.^s, frorn illness. Vhen'l saw him, he said he had been hl^^ 'u he beginning of May, and that his arm had inflamed. On aPr-Hca- ^\^^ to the doctor, he was told that he must poulnce u ; he did so, but at the end of the first month his arm had become a fright- ful sore. Upon application to his doctor again, he said he mu^t continue to poultice it; he did ^o, but his arm continued to aTtZrl, and in consequence of want of sleep, he was reduced flmos^to a skeleton, i told him vo send to the cas.Ie f.r some of the remedy, and throw his poultices into .he fire, d he aid no wish to lo;e his arm. He applied tl:e remedy that after, noon, and I saw him again in two days ; he was tota ly changed in appearance; he saul he had slept well both nights, and he was enabled to resume his wo»k in ten days One of my game keepers had the misfortune to have his face much burnt by the blowin. up of a quantity of ^""Pf?"'^^*-^ he could onlv see with one eye, and that verv little. 1 he rt- medy was appHcd in the first half hour after the accuUnt. and though it gave great pain at the commencement, he had the courage to^ontinue it ; the result was. that after five or six applications, it gave h.m no pain, and he was cured '"fifteen or twenty days, and his sight, which had been weak for many years, is now better th.in it ever was. From the foregoing cases, which have occurred since my visit to Leeds last year, I think that it is the duty of all gentlemen who have the care of hospitals, &c., to make use of this remedy, and I have no doubt, if they condescend to use it, a great many will be cured, and the beds set at liberty, and instead of the patients being a dead weight upon the commiinity, they will be able to get their living and support their families, though novv draeginff on a life of misery; and those who are afflicted wuh 10 BRANDY sores which cannotbecured may be soj^^^ able 10 get their Imnga^o^^J^^^^^ may be ^^^^P^^P'-^^^^^y ''l^aJfaXted with incurable sores upon my house in .pance, who are attt cieow ^^^^ iheir legs.

Last year, when 1 took the liberty to address the British Em- pire in recommending the remedy which I had discovered, I did expect that great good would be done by it. With regard to some neighbouring towns, I have not been entirely disappointed, as the knowledge of the remedy has made great ptogress. and has been attended by corresponding good, but by no means equal to its merits. In these five years past, how much has been done for objects entirely distinct from the welfare of the town, whilst this, on the score of humanity and usefulness as a public benefit, and for the welfare of the poor, has been entirely neglec- ted. Large sums of money have been given for the benefit of dis- tant countries, which show not only the liberality but the kind- ness and charity of my native town, which is a matter of much gratification to me, when far distant from it ; but I have for some time hoped that some gentleman or number of gentlemen would step forward and propose that some one of the public build- ings should be devoted to the cure of the poor by this remedy. 1 have thought that the House of Recovery, or a part of jt, might be spared for that purpose, as it would not only stem but sub- due the most malignant fever with which the town may be visited , but if 1 am mistaken, and it cannot be spared, a sub- scription I thought mifjht be easily raised for the erection and support of such a building,, which would be of invaluable service to the poor. It may be justly urged that you have that noble institution, the Infirmary; but, though 1 took the liberty of recommending it to some of the met" cal gentlemen of that institution, ? have no certain knowledge that it is even partially used in that house of mercy, but yet cf misery, which this re- medy would greatly alleviate ; and I ben leave to express the same opinion whichi think I have expresses upon former occasions, that great numbers might be cured and greatly relieved by it, at perhaps less than one-sixth part of the expense to the Ir firmary. Inconsequence of this opinion, and in order to promote this object, I beg leave to offer my mite as a commencement of a 'I I J 2 BRANDY subscription o^ ^ .^^^^^^^l^l^ fh^JX' five guineas towards 1>»''^ "f.

I esire ihat the esta- remedy book of ever laid DISEASES AND MODE OF TREATMENT. DIZZINESS IN THE HEAD is cured by washing the crown of the head with the remedy pure. It ought to be rub- bed for halfan hour even when the dizziness is removed. Some-' times it feels cured during the operation, sometimes in an hour after; and even it has not been removed until after retiring to bedi There are instances of this complaint returning several times, but it is easily subdued by the manner of applying this remedy. DETERMINATION OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD, which by the regular mode of practice, Is sought to be cured by bleeding with Leeches about (he temples, though it does not always cure, generally brings the patient to the borders of the grave. This tomplpiiM is greatly abated, and very often cured, by rubbing the crown of the head with the remedy. Sometimes it is removed vei-y soon, and generally by one operation j if not, it may be repeated at once, in which case it is necessary that the afflicted should take two table-spoonfuls of the remedy, diluted with six or eight laole-«poonful3 of the remedy, diluted with six or eight table-spot nfuls of hot water. The rubbing of the head is always the best on retiring to bed, and the do«e should be taken in the morning about an hour bef@re breakfast, and repeated several times. HEAD A C H E S, are removed by rubbing the head with the remedy, in the same manner as for Determination of Blood to the Head. I have applied it in hundreds of instances, and always with success; but, in case the head ache proves obsti- nate, it should be repeated, and two table spoonfuls, with six or eight table-spoonfuls of hot water, should be taken; but it is generally cured by rubbing once, INFLAMMATION IN THE EYES.-Before I speak of the manner in which it is cured, I would say that this remedy, if it only cured this complaint in the manner it does, is beyond all price. There is no occasion for dark rooms: no occasion to desist from the ordinary occupations of the afflicted ; no caute* rizing of the eye, which very often cruses the afflicted to lose their sight; no distress in families. It 13 cured by the patient welting the corner of his handkerchief five or six times each day, with the remedy, pure, when he is At work, when he is walking, when he is riding, when he is buying or selling his merchandize ; and rubbing it each time well into his eye. The pain is very trifling, and the cure certain. How different is this from the usual treatment ! A friend of mine was shut up in a dark room for ten weeks. He had his eye cauterized several times, besides having several operations performed UDon him. and I 14 BRANDY ^^''^'^' , .Ki 1^HF BRAIN Is cured by rub- bing the crown of t*^^^^^^^^^ .nstances n ^^^^^'^'^f \S 'remedy. decayed teeth '^^^^ "fi" ^''o" ten minutes. remain inibe ear for ave o ^^^^^ ^^ EAR ACHE is cured the same as ^^^ ,easant ope- ral.on, and calcui ,,,„ often cured, by nEAFNESS is -really relieved, and v^ y j i have ^""""JiL mv ears wi^h it.

AGUE. OR INTERMITTING I'EVERS, are cured by rubbing the head once on retiring to rest, and next nnormng taking two table spoonfuls, diluted wi.h six table- spoonfuls of S>t wat.r, for a man, and half that quantity for a female, an hour before breakfast. It should be repeated for twelve morn- ings, or until the disorder Is subdued. CHOLIC is generally cured in four or five ""'""tf* ''y takir!g two tabk. spoonfuls of the remedy, diluted wuh hot w^ter If it is not cured by the first operanon, it ought to be "epeat'ed, and the do.e made stronger ; it seldom requires re- peSg more than twice, though 1 have known it repeated threfe times. CHOLERA is cured by rubbing the head once or twice, or as ofVen as the pain in the head returns, and by talc, ng two or fhree table.spoonfuls, diluted wi.h hot water. This should be reoeated several times each day, if the attack is very strong, at short interval; and if the skin is discolored, the part ought fo be rubbed u'ith it uniil the complaint is subdued, which wUl be known by the removal of the pa-n. OUINSEY. OR SORE THROATS, should be grappled wilh in every possible way, first by gargling with the remedy pure, second by filling each ear with the remedy pure, one after the other, and letting it remain in each ear ten minutes. 1 have found great relief from this method, and ihe best time ?s upon retirini to lest. Then a little linen saturated with the remedv. should be wrapped round the neck, and kept moist ; h^se rnethods are generally successful : but ,f not, the danger from the ^ore throa' becoming something worse is greatly re- duccd This is one of those complaints which requires great perceverance. and even the u-e of leeches may be necessary, after all ; but such cases will be very rare. INFLAMMATION IN THE BOWELS is cured by taking two lable-spoonfuls of the remedy, diluted with hot water repeatedly, and at short intervals, until the pam is re- moved. It is also well to rub the exterior, and apply warm flannel to the part, which m«y be kept warm, or even hot, by applying a warming pan to the flannel. I have found great benefit frum this operation.

No amendment can be hoped fur until the infl[ammat!on is re- duced, and nothing will reduce it to soon as this remedy, and that without bleeding and bii ring; but all coutplaints are the roost easily cured at iheir commencement. INFLAMMATION OF THE LUNGS will generally be relieved by washing the crown of the head, and taking two table-spoonfuls, diluted with hot water. But it should be taken several limes each d.iy, and a piece of Imen, several thicknesses, saturated with the remedy, put upon the part where the pain is. CONSUMPTIONS.— 1 have not the least doubt but the majority might be cured by an application of this remedy, in its early stages, and that without confinement, by first rubbing the crown of the head once, and taking one or two table-spoon- fuls of the remedy, diluted with hot water, every morning an hour before breakfast; it will i.e well to rub the chesi once each morning. There are two cases of Its almost wonderful effects, one at La Feri6 Imbault, and the other in the Isle of Man.— As the remedy is a new discovery, the cases of its cure of this complaint are not many ; but only let it be properly and gene- rally used, and I have no doubt but millions will derive benefit from it each year. ASTHMAS are generally relieved by rubbing the crown of the head once, before retiring to rest, and taking one or two table-spoonfuls, Jiluted with hot water, for several mornings. The sister of the curate of our parish, in France, had been long afBicted with asthma, and after repeated recommendations, she had been induced to try it; her brother always said, to any in- (juiry, that she was well since she had used the remfcvf.^ ; there- tore I hope that it will do good in all cases, and cure in some, COLDS and COUGHS are generally relieved by the ap- plication of this remedy to the parts affected. If in the head, the head should be rubbed; if in the throat, the ears should be filled, one after the other, and let remain for ten minutes, the throat gargled, and the neck and breast rubbed with the remedy. They are often very tedious, &nd require great perseverance, and even with all this, it is necessary to apply leeches. If the chest is attacked, the patient should apply a piece of soft linen, of several thicknesses, to the breast, saturated with the remedy, and kept moist. The effects of this application are sometimes very strikingt DYSENTRY, if violent, should bo treated by first rubbing the crown of head with the remedy once; and immediately taking one or two table-spoonfuls, diluted with hot water; this should be repee^ted three or four times each day.

It tenders the child more healthy, and the delivery is elected with greater case. BITES OF POISONOUS REPTILES r.re easily cured by fubhing the parts bitten with the remedy. It "P"*'f' .7^" the poison, and heals tne sore in a very short time ; but U is well to do it immediately after the bite has been given. BITES OF MAD DOGS, or any other dogs, may pro- bably be cured by rubbing well the part bitten with this remedy. 1 believe no uneasiness will be felt by the person »>'l!«^"' '» * is rubbed ihe same day ; but it is always best to do '» '"""Jf^^'" ately after, and it ought to be nibbed sever-^l t.m^s, and a puce of soft linen, saturated with the remedy, applied »» t^^ part. This is one of those cases which I have not proved by fact, not having had any case come under my notice; and 1 have uoi had occasion to prove it upon myself. STINGS OF WASPS, BEES,/' c, are cured by rubbing ..18 part immediately a'ler being stung ; the rehef, as wel as the attack, is instantaneous ; but I do not think it does mi^ch good If the part is suffered to swell ; therefore the applicaliorv should be prompt. ERYSIPELAS is cured by nibbing the part with ihe re- medy. A clergyman in the North has had the kindness to communicate a case which I will give in hU 7" "'.f^^f ;- " The patient was a woman.

Half fill a bottle with brandy, and add to it one-third the Quantity of salt ; cork and shike them well together. When mixed, let the salt settle to the bottom, and be particularly care- fuUo use it when clear: the clearer the belter. Many persons have made a great mistake in shaking it up just before it is used. 'Ae efficacy is not near so great, and to open sores the appli- caUon is much more painful from the particles of salt which aJe no dissolved in the brandy, but the salt and the brandy !honld remain together, and when all the brandy is used oflT mo"i may be addled to'the salt.
