I have communicated it, have found the same advantage from it in such cases. And as this com munication may be useful to per sons lame by contraction of some muscles of the body, I hope it will be acceptable to the public.” The Gentleman who recom mends this method, has sent the ublither three remarkable cases in which he advised the use of the egg liquor in all which it happily succeeded. The one on a Gentle man at New-York aged 63, the second on Gofach Vas Seauch, of Albany, whose arm and hand was withered, the third on Corne lus Nefes at the falls of Paffaych, or Second river, in the county of Bergen, whose left arm from the shoulder to his finger’s ends, was so withered and waited, that no blood could come therefrom, and was one fourth in size less than the night. The following is his own account, taken by Mr. Henry Guest of New Brunswick, and communicated to us by that Gen tleman. “ He told me that he rubbed his arm, hand, and fingers, at least seven or eight times in every twenty-four hours, from about the fifteenth of March, to the fir of May following, without observing the feast sensation in them, but a bout the third of that month, he had considerable pin from the el bow as far as the wrist, it seemed as if ten thousand pins were prick ing him in that part. This is his expression. This pricking conti nued pretty constantly, and in a few days he felt the like pain in all his fingers; soon after he could feel the feth brosh when rubbing, and observed the colour of the skn to be natural. He now continued the process with good sprints, his arm and fingers grew gradually in strength and bigness. By the first of August did a little work in har vest, and soon after could plow, chop, c. His arm and fingers are now in their full state, and observes that he has as much strength in them, as ever he had. His thumb is yet in its same state; it seems he has not taken any pains to restore it, since he has been able to work. But has promised to continue this medicine a little lon ger on that member.” Thus Sir, I give the public through your hands when publish ed, a true narrative of this most noble medicine, as far as it has come under my observation, whol ly owing to the liberality of its au thor Dr. Lobb, and if it should be tryed with good effects by any Gentleman in America, hope it will be communicated through the channel of your useful Magazine. I am your most humble servant at command, HENRY GUEST. New Brunsewick, Lafi- Ferfey,27 March, 775.
