Extract cf a Letter from, Mr. William Hodgson, Editor of the Carlisle Journal, dated 30th 'June, 1801. Mr. J. Harper, an inhabitant of this neighbourhood, for f'everal years laboured under a mo ft lamentable deprelfion of fpirits, which rendered him almoft it,capable of either bodily or mental exertion; and although he had the advice of ieveral gen¬ tlemen of the faculty, of unqueftionabie abilities, yet J perceived with much concern that he grew worfe, and he ultimately exhibited every fymptom of a perfon in the laft ftage of aconfumption ; his countenance was pale and meagre, and his voice had oftits ufual fonorous tone. Through continued importunity, T prevailed upon him at length to make trial of your Cordial Balm of Gilead; and after ufirig two bottles or it, his fpirits were much recruited, his face began to refnme its wonted bloom and plumpnefs, and he is now, I am happy to (late, completely reftored to his priftine health and vigour.

The weaknefs, however, gained on his conftitutinn, as fcarcely arty fuftenance remained on hia ftomach. He determined to give the Cordial Balm of Gilead a fair trial, and immediately fent for fome to Mr. Swinncy’s, printer, in this town, and the con- fequences fully jollified the report he had of the medicine; his fpirits were foon recruited, and his appetite and digeftion, after eighteen months’ wafting and excru¬ ciating illnefs, are now happily reftored.

That confumptions, fo imiverfalJy confidered as incurable, however hereditary, inve¬ terate, or of long Handing, may now be with certainty removed, and that the con¬ futation may be reftored, though emaciated to fo great a degree that exiftence is confidered as nearly at an end, is highly, fully, and beyond a doubt exemplified, in a recent letter from jrro. Carter Mu.llinrr, Efq. of Shotiey, near Ipfwich, dated 29th Auguft, 1801. T ?
