for a final cure, now as respects the treatment I cannot say much this Mrs. Jones has an ointment with which she rubs the body all over for two hours, twice a day, her mode of rubbing is like the Champooing in India not unpleasant nor painful, It was a gentleman having returned from the East Indies that practised this treatment with great success and his patients became so numerous that he was obliged to teach this person to assist him and she has had the satisfaction not to have sent any away without receiving great benefit in most cases quite cured, some like Mrs. Smart anxious to return to their families before a complete cure is effected her terms are ten pounds a month and one pound for the oil or ointment which makes S? £11 a month the oil she will not sell to any one nor tell what it is, she first took what she called perspiring oil and rubbed Mrs. Smart well with that and wrapped her well up and she was soon in a profuse persipiration after that she took the other oil for four hours daily and made her drink about a pint of porter daily hot, she did not allow her to take any thing cold she chiefly lived upon beef and puddings but no tarts or pies I believe I have said about all I have learnt from
