le face, accompanied with redness and chronic inflammation; white scales or thin scabs frequently formed, and after they had dropped off others formed successively. He had had the advice of several respectable practitioners, and had used the preparations of two chemists, without producing any good effect. In this state he applied to J. Kent, Stanton, under whose treatment Mr. Welham perfectly recovered. It is now ELEVEN YEARS since, and he has had no return of the disease. 2. In consequence of the benefit which Mr. Welham had received from the treatment adopted by J. Kent, he placed his son Joseph under his care. He was about 19 years of age, and had a scrofulous tumour in the left arm-pit; it had been about twelve months standing before he discovered the nature of the complaint; and time had thus been allowed for the arm to become considerably affected. However, under the system pursued by J. Kent a perfect cure took place; and Mr. Welham and his son are still living at Culford in good health, and free from any remains of the disease. 3. Mr. JOSEPH ADAMS GODFREY, of the Ferry House, West Row, Mildenhall, Suffolk, from an hereditary taint had been subject to scrofula about the face and glands of the neck for a considerable time; and, from the unabated progress of the disease, his health was materially affected. All the usual means had been resorted to in order to check its progress; but the disease still increased, and became more and more formidable. He then applied to J. Kent; the progress of the complaint was soon arrested; and a permanent cure was accomplished. This was 20 years ago, and Mr. G. has had no relapse. Mr. G. resides as above; and from his own sufferings, and from observation of the disease in others, he has acquired some little judgment in discriminating scrofulous cases. 4. JAMES BENNETT was placed under the care of J. Kent, by the churchwardens and overseers of Buxhall, Suffolk. He was afflicted with scrofulous disease of the left side of the lower jaw, neck, and face. The jaw was rendered immoveable, so that he could not take any solid food; and the liquid nourishment he was compelled to suck through an opening left from the extraction of a tooth. He had become remarkably weak and low, and his constitution was daily giving way under the severity of the attack. However, by attending to the rules recommended by J. Kent, the jaw was soon set at liberty, and he perfectly recovered.
