    The Rev* Rowland Philips, B. A, Long-Ashton, «wr Bristol, Feds it a duty incumbent on him as a clergyman, to hate fox the good of the a£Ri&ed, that he was mlored from great weahnefe, with a 'long train of hmrid fymptomfl attendant on a nervous complaint of many years liana ug‘, by the ttle of the Cordial Balm of Gilead, though many remedies prdcribed by the faculty, as well as thole advertifed, were 'med in vain. His fpaufe alio derived great benefit therefrom ; and feverai of the firft families in the vicinity of Bnftoi have declared they owe the recovery of their health folely to the great efficacy of that valuable reiiorative. He therefore thinks it cannot be too generally known. Extract of a Letter from Mr« Joseph Morris, of Chepstow, To Dr. tsOLOMONj Liverpool.
