    failed to obtain relief from the skill of our most distinguished medical men, and having learned that in & similar case you used the medicine prepared by Dr. S. H. P. Lee, and found benefit from it, is induced to ask your opinion of its merits. Will you have the goodness to state to me what advancement the disease had made in your case; if it had really amounted to stone in the bladder, and if you are really relieved from its distressing consequences. Dr. Lee, of Boston (a son of Dr. S. H. P. Lee), has referred us to you to satisfy my mother's doubts, for she is entirely skeptical. She is now confined to her bed, and has not left her room for nine weeks. Much of the time her sufferings have been almost insupportable, and I am satisfied if she does not soon obtain relief we must ere long be called to the saddest parting earth can witness. Will you have the goodness to give an early reply. Please address to the care of G. H., Boston, I am, very respectfully, F. H. Boston, Jan. 18, 1811. [Mrs. H*****( whose case is mentioned above, had several attempts made to break up the stone in her bladder, by Lithotrity, by an eminent Surgeon, who was unsuccessful. The Surgeon recommended her to rely entirely on Dr. Lee's Solvent, which she took for six or eight mouths, and the stone passed off in Granular Phosphates, and she entirely recovered, and now enjoys excellent health. She was under the care of Doctor Lee, of Boston, No. 18 Hayward Place.] Brooklyn, N. Y., Jan. 21, ISM. To Miss F. H. Boston. I received your letter of inquiry [dated the 18lh inst.] yesterday evening ; and in reply will state briefly that I have sulfered with gravel and stone in the bladder about 18 years, so much so that life was a burden to me ; not a day or night passed but what I had more or less pain and suffering. I sought and tried all the medicine that was recom- mended for the gravel, but it all. amounted to nothing more than tempo- rary relief. Last winter (1839-40) I was taken down violently with the above disease, and through the providence of GOD, I was informed of the wonderful cures that had been performed by Dr. Lee's Gravel Medicine ; I immediately sent to my friend C. E. Lester, Esq., the collector of the customs of the port of New London, and he immediately forwarded it to me, and its healing power has restored me to health. I will state accord- in to your request, that I have had pass me, since I commenced taking Dr. Lee's Medicine, upwards of thirty very sharp and rough stones, the most of them as large as large peas, besides great quantities of coarse brown gravel. This medicine operates upon the kidneys and Madder, so as to dissolve and bring away all those hard substances, and finally to cure the disease. . Do not hesitate one moment about taking the medicine ; tor it one word from me could induce yonr poor mother to take it as I have done, '* would Rive me great comfort as I know it must cure her ; quite a number of our most distinguished doctors in New York have used Dr. Lee's Gravel Medicine, and recommend it highly. Ewuse this hasty letter, as I have but a short time before the mail closes. Yours, with much respect, JonN Pierce, 88 Warren St., Brooklyn, N. Y. Ki L. —
