A woman with a phagedenic ulcer in the cheek, throat, and nose, from
an ozæna in the hollow of the cheek-bone, received great relief this
year, in five or six weeks time; the external ulcer, which had
almost destroyed the whole cheek, being healed in that time, and the
other parts much amended. Her affairs would not permit her a longer
continuance at the well; but she continues the use of the water at
home, and finds great relief from it there. I hope another season will
complete the cure.
Mr. Parry, of Clent, had his skin cleared, and perfectly healed, in
five weeks; tho’, when he came to the well, he was covered with an
elephantiasis; for which he had tried most of the purging waters, and
sea-water, under the direction of Dr. Russell, without effect. So bad
was he, that he could not move a limb but the skin cracked, and ouzed
out a filthy sanies; and he left the mark of his body every night in
his bed. The waters have also had another very surprising effect on
him: for they have been his Helicon, and converted him into a poet; he
having written a poem on the occasion, which he shewed to Lord Foley
and Dr. Dalton.
I know a Lady, who, we had great reason to fear, had an internal
cancer, who has lately received great advantage from the use of these
waters, after other things had been tried unsuccessfully.
I could send many more instances; but the compass of a letter will not
admit of it: and I should be afraid of having tired you already, did
I not know, that it must give you pleasure to hear of its extensive
utility. I am, Sir,
Your most obliged
humble Servant,
J. Wall.
IV. _An Account of the_ Carlsbad _Mineral Waters in_ Bohemia: _In a
Letter to the Right Honourable the Earl of_ Macclesfield, _President of
the R. S. by the Rev._ Jeremiah Milles, _D.D. F.R.S._
[Read Jan. 20, 1757.]
My Lord,
MR. Watson having favoured the Society with an Account of Dr.
Sprengsfeld’s treatise on the Carlsbad waters, I have taken the liberty
to submit to your Lordship some observations on the same subject, which
I made during my stay in that place; together with some specimens of
different sorts of incrustations, which are formed by those waters.
