speak for me:--

"Arthur C----, Comm. Staff Officer, having been attacked
one evening with a very bad diarrhoea at Mrs.
Seacole's, took some of her good medicine. It cured me
before the next morning, and I have never been attacked
since.--October 17th, 1855."

"Archibald R. L----, Comm. Staff, Crimea, was suffering
from diarrhoea for a week or more; after taking Mrs.
Seacole's good medicines for two days, he became quite
well, and remained so to this day.--October 17th, 1855."

Here is Mr. M----, paymaster of the Land Transport Corps, ready with a
good account of my services:--

"I certify that Madame Seacole twice cured me
effectually of dysentery while in the Crimea, and also
my clerk and the men of my corps, to my certain

And some of the men shall speak for themselves:--

"Stationary Engine, December 1, 1855.

"I certify that I was severely attacked by diarrhoea

cured effectually.

attack of illness, and was in a short time restored to
health by the prompt attention and medical skill of Mrs.
Seacole, British Hotel, Spring Hill, Crimea."

Many of my patients belonged to the Land Transport and Army Works
Corps. The former indeed were in my close neighbourhood, and their
hospital was nearly opposite to the British Hotel. I did all I could
for them, and have many letters expressive of their gratitude. From
them I select the following:--

"Head-Quarters, Camp, Crimea, June 30, 1856.

"I have much pleasure in bearing testimony to Mrs.
Seacole's kindness and attention to the sick of the
Railway Labourers' Army Works Corps and Land Transport
Corps during the winters of 1854 and 1855.

"She not only, from the knowledge she had acquired in
the West Indies, was enabled to administer appropriate
remedies for their ailments, but, what was of as much or
more importance, she charitably furnished them with
proper nourishment, which they had no means of obtaining
except in the hospital, and most of that class had an
objection to go into hospital, particularly the railway
labourers and the men of the
