nave oeen afflicted about ~ years, and FOR about
years extremely bad, tina. it has been very diff.
cult for me TO ride in any wheel carriage and for
about three years past, have been so great part
OF the time that my life was despaired of, and often
did think that / could not live form one day to
another. 1t has pleased the Almighty God to point
out remedy for my relief, for which have rea
son to be thankful to him for his mercy TO me. /
nave been doctorng for many years, with almost
every kind Of medicine that could hear Of but TO
no purpose. The medicine that has helped me
was accidental, and unheard of to me. About the

and drank OF 1t very freely for about 8 or DAYS.
and then there came from me stone three quar-

the cellar, and when lay in such great distress
was very thirsty, and requested my people TO bring
me some of the boiled cider, of which drank
freely, as It was as sweet as if had come new from
the press drank freely for three days. and on The
fourth began to discharge stones again, which
gave me great relief. then for the first time be
gan 10 think that It was the cider that brought the
stones away from me. ! continued drinking the
boiled cider and the stones kept discharging. i,
now about four months since any came from me,
and lor about eight months have had no pain
worth mentioning, and can ride in any carriage
without any Inconvenience from my dreadful com.

can get it, and when cannot, use the boiled, and
have reason TO believe, and do believe, by coulin-

never be troubled with that complain, again.
