In a Pamphlet lately published by Mr. Sexton, are insterted several Cases of Cures performed by these Powders, the first of which is the following:
The third of March 1755, I was applied to by the Hon. John Hamilton, to accompany him to his Country Seat at Bearhill, in Berkshire, near Henly upon Thames. His Daughter, a young Lady about four Years old, had been inoculated for the Small-pox, and was dangerously ill, the Pock very small, sunk away, and much discoloured; she was convulsed, breather short, and was delirious; and attended with Hiccoughs; (Symptoms prestaging Death;) she had been attended by a Phusician, who gave but little Hopes of her Recovery. I immediately gave her half a Paper of my Powder, and continued them every four Hours for the first Night; in the Morning following she appeared something better, the Confulsions were abated, and her Breath not so depressed: I continued the Powders as before the succeeding twelve Hours; after which Time the Alteration was so great, as to give the most chearful Hopes of a happy Event: The Pock was now fully thrown out, the Delirium and Convulsions entirely gone off, and a few Days perfected her Recovery. She had no Secondary Fever at all, nor was any other Medicine used to asist besides my Powders. The surprising Success of this Case was not greateer that the Joy it gave to the most fond Parents, who had the Happiness of seeing an only Child restored, which before was feared to have been a lost one. The thorough Conviction and Satisfaction, both Mr. Hamilton and the Physician had of the specific Virtues of this Medicine, induced the former to purchase a large Quantity of it, (from his benevolent Disposition) to give to the Poor who should be likewise afflicted, and by his own Inspection, without any other Assistance, performed several Cures that he transmitted me an Account of; and by his Approbation I was permitted to relate this Case.
