36.
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.

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.
