We are happy to state that the amiable and accomplished Lady Louisa Cornwallis is perfectly recovered from her lameness, since her arrival at Brighton, which her Ladyship has been suffering under nearly two years, occasioned by spraining her ankle, while in the act of dancing.
--- "Shampooing" by S.D. Mahomed, 1838, page 42:
Case III.
Lady Louisa Cornwallis, owing to a sprain, had been unable to put her right foot to the ground for nearly two years; during that period she was attended by some of the most eminent Surgeons in London, who attributed the constant pain she suffered to deep-seated inflammation on the muscles and joints; they prescribed bleeding, blisters, vinegar, poultices, and other cold applications, which were all tried without producing any amendment. Friction, warm bathing, and bandages, proved equally unsuccessful.
Mr. Mahomed, upon examining her foot, felt confident the pain proceeded entirely from one of the muscles being a little twisted, and that the Vapour Bath with his method of Shampooing would effect a complete cure.
After coming out of the Bath the third time, Lady Louisa walked across the room without support, and was at the end of ten days able to take walking exercise for half-an-hour, with only slight inconvenience arising from weakness of the muscles, and is now perfectly free from the pain she suffered constantly for more than eighteen months.
Brighton, September 17, 1822.
[In the early 1832 edition of his book, Mahomed included the following verses written and presented to him by Lady Louisa.]
Two years in agony I past,
(A sprain was my complaint,)
Hope long sustain'd me, but at last
E'en hope itself grew faint.
In vain I tried the surgeons round,
No benefit, alas! I found,
And every hope of cure seem'd vain;
But ah! when all beside had fail'd,
Thy skill, oh Mahomed, prevail'd,
Though mad'st me walk again, . . .
The greatest blessing that we know,
In health is said to be;
That blessing, under God I owe,
Oh Mahomed! to thee;
My lips the gratitude shall show,
That in my heart doth glow,
For ah! I feel too well assured,
(Let all deride, and laugh who will,)
That had I never try'd thy skill,
I never had been cured!!
--- "The Brighton Gleaner", 07 Oct 1822, page 9:
Lady Louisa Cornwallis, who has been residing with us some little time, for the benefit of her health, we are happy to add, has not been disappointed in the object of her journey. The lameness under which her Ladyship had suffered from a recent fall, has been entirely removed.

Bury, December 24.
Juvenile Frolic at Culford Hall -- On Thursday the 12th inst. in commemoration of the happy recovery of the amiable Lady Louisa from a long protracted lameness, and by her desire, the children belonging to the school patronized by the Marchioness Cornwallis, 90 in number, after receiving their annual prizes, were sumptuously provided with a good dinner, consisting of plum-puddings and meat pies; the young ladies at the Hall, with their accustomed benevolence and affability, waited on them, and after dinner joined them in the merry dance until tea and buns were announced to the party, after which the children resumed the trip, and kept it up until the evening was far advanced, when they retired, highly delighted with their entertainment, and grateful to their benevolent and noble benefactress. Every cottager in the village was supplied with a portion of plum-pudding and meat pie that was left.
