On February 19, while in performance of duty I was knocked
down and severely injured by an infuriated cow. For these
injuries I was treated first at the Coventry Hospital, and
afterwards at the General Hospital, Birmingham, also by an
eminent physician or surgeon, but from these institutions nor
from the gentleman mentioned did I seem to derive any benefit,
and it was only when examined by you (Nov. 8th) that I was
aware that any bone was injured. From that time my improvement
has been rapid, and to-day I am able to work again.
I need scarcely say I consider myself under a deep debt of
gratitude to you, and shall at all times be anxious to serve
you by any means in my power.
I am, yours obediently,
HENRY ALLEN,
_Foreman Porter, Coventry Station_.

_November 29th, 1883_.
Dear Sir,—I have very much pleasure in testifying to the
marked ability with which you restored my arm in 1880 when
suffering from a very severe sprain of the ligaments in
consequence of being thrown from my trap. Medical men, whom I
called in at the time, failed to discern the real diagnosis of
the case.
I am, dear Sir, Yours very truly,
J. CROAD.
CUBBINGTON, LEAMINGTON,
_December, 1883_.
Dear Sir,—I hear you are publishing a book, and thought,
perhaps, you would like my case. On April 4, 1882, I came to
your house at Milverton suffering from a dislocation of the
jaw which you reduced at once. I might add that a medical man
had been attending me for a week previously, but could not
reduce the dislocation.
Yours very gratefully,
ELLEN STANLEY.
44, PORLEN ROAD, WEST KENSINGTON PARK, LONDON,
_February 23rd, 1882_.
Dear Sir,—About nine years ago I consulted you about my
knee. I had been under treatment for synovites in my right
knee by two eminent surgeons for twelve weeks, and afterwards
an in-patient of Leicester Infirmary. I left the latter
institution on crutches and with a stiff joint. After six
weeks of your treatment I had recovered full use of my leg and
resumed my ordinary employment. Since then I severely injured
my other knee, and your treatment of that was eminently
satisfactory.
Yours faithfully,
WILLIAM KNIGHT.
THOMLY HALL, THAME, OXON,
_November 28th, 1882_.
Dear Sir,—It is a pleasure as well as a duty to bear
testimony to the great benefit I have derived from your skill
in restoring my shoulder. It had been out of joint nine
months, and was very badly contracted, now I can use it as
well as the other.
I am, dear Sir, Yours very truly,
ELIZ. WIGGINS.
