In the foregoing pages I have quoted the testimony of many persons of
eminence who have been relieved of their ailments and cured by the art
of the Bone-setter, when regular surgeons have failed to accomplish
that desirable result. One, at least, of the cases thus published was
contributed by one of my own patients without my knowledge. I have
thought it my duty in vindicating my special art to give prominence
to the opinion of others. I have shown how the sneers of the faculty
have been turned to doubts, and under many who went forth to scoff at
the despised “Bone-setter” remained to pray. Our so-called secrets
have been appropriated and published, but our skill and reputation
remain. In justice to myself I have added the testimony of a few of
the many hundred patients who have sought and found relief at my
hands. These testimonies are very gratifying to me as they include the
Lord-Lieutenant of Warwickshire, and many clergymen and gentlemen of
reputation and position, as well as a few of the general patients who
from day to day and from week to week seek relief at my hands.

Lord Leigh has much pleasure in stating that Mr. Matthews
Bennett is a very skilful operator, and has attended him and
several of his neighbours and servants on various occasions
with very great success.
SPOTTISWOOD,
_July 10th, 1882_.
Lady John Scott begs to say that she has known several cases
which were in the hands of Mr. Matthews Bennett, and she has
always heard his treatment spoken of with the greatest praise,
and in many instances which has come under her observation he
was invariably successful. She has more than once sent for
him in preference to any one else, for people in whom she was
interested.

_February 14th, 1883_.
Miss Holy has taken every opportunity of mentioning Mr.

Of his successful treatment of her sprains, she can speak
with confidence—not only from her own experience, but from
personal knowledge of other cases.

walk with much ease and comfort.
