Miss EMILY MURTON, of Sandy Downham, near Brandon, Norfolk, about 23
years of age, applied to J. Kent, at the Half Moon Inn, Bury; she was
afflicted with several scrofulous enlargements of the glands of the
neck; and a very extensive tumour on the lower part of the body; she
had endured the complaint for two years, and had received no relief
from any of the means which had been used for its removal; but by a
persevering attention to the treatment ordered by J. K. the tumours
were dispersed, and she got perfectly well. She is since married, and,
I understand, is living in London.--J. K.

GEORGE SARGENT, of Buxhall, Suffolk, about 14 years of age, had been
some time afflicted with Scrofula on the right side of the neck; and
the collar bone was much diseased: he applied to J. Kent in March,
1833, and in the latter part of the following May, J. K. extracted an
exfoliated portion of the collar-bone, 2-3/4 inches in length; and on
the 12th of July 1833, his mother came with him to J. Kent to show
that he was quite well, and able to go after his employment. She
expressed herself extremely grateful for the services J. K. had
rendered her child.

In July, 1824, WILLIAM, the Son of Mr. SIMPSON, mariner, near the
Porto Bello, Upper Orwell Street, Ipswich, about 11 years of age,
applied to J. Kent, having been for 4 years afflicted with a
scrofulous Ulcer on the right side of the face. He had been in the
Dispensary at Ipswich, and every medical means had been employed for
four years without producing any good effect, and from the long
continuance of the disease, his health became materially affected. He
then applied to J. Kent, and by a steady perseverance in the use of
the Botanical Medicines, he rapidly recovered, and has been _perfectly
well for seven years_.
N.B. Any further particulars that may be required respecting this
case, may be had by applying to the Patient, or to Mr. and Mrs.
Simpson, who will be happy to satisfy enquirers.

A respectable female, in the neighbourhood of Eye, Suffolk, had been
afflicted with scrofulous disease of the glands of the neck, for a
considerable time: she had tried a variety of remedies without the
desired effect; but the disease yielded to the treatment ordered by J.
Kent. J. K. saw her a few weeks since, when she was quite well; and is
since married. Reference may be had by applying to J. Kent.
