SHADRACH SIMPSON, near the Welcome Sailor Inn, St. Clement's, Ipswich,
when about 10 years of age was afflicted with several scrofulous
tumours and ulcers on and about the neck; and his health had become
materially affected. After trying various remedies for a considerable
time without any good effect, his friends placed him under the care of
J. Kent, and by a steady attention to the treatment ordered, he soon
got perfectly well. J. K. saw his mother on the 14th of July, 1833,
when she said--"It's now 16 years ago since you cured my son, and he
continues quite well; he is a bookbinder, and now lives at Newmarket."

JEMIMA BLAKE, of Wetherden, Suffolk, about 18 years of age, had been
for three years afflicted with scrofulous disease of the left ankle;
there was a large ulcer, and the whole foot and ankle much enlarged,
and attended with so much pain that she was quite a cripple; and her
constitution had become exceedingly debilitated. She had had suitable
attention, but she derived no benefit; she then applied to J. Kent,
and by attending to his instructions, her health was re-established,
and the ulcer is now quite healed, and she can walk extremely well,
and free from pain.--_July 1833._

ADAM WRIGHT, of Wickhambrook, Suffolk, about 22 years of age, had been
afflicted with a scrofulous ulcer on the right side of the mouth for a
considerable time; it was so bad as to render it exceedingly difficult
for him to eat any food, except such as he took with a tea-spoon; in
this state he applied to J. Kent, and very soon received considerable
benefit; and in a letter to J. Kent, dated May 1833, he says, "I
received a perfect cure, and for the space of eleven years have
continued well."
