Dear Sir,—It is with much pleasure that I write to thank you for your kindness and skilful attention to my arm. I may mention on the 10th of October, 1882, I was thrown from my bicycle near Dunchurch, and severely fractured my left elbow. I saw a surgeon at Stratford-on-Avon on the 12th and 16th of October after the accident, who said there was no fracture or dislocation. Not feeling satisfied, my employer gave me a ticket to go into the Kidderminster Hospital. The doctor there told me my elbow was ruined for life—that I should have a stiff joint; the thought of it gave me an awful turn, knowing that the means of earning my living would be very much impaired. I therefore made up my mind to go to you, and am now very thankful I did go, for after two months of your skilful treatment I can use my arm again quite freely. I find it no detriment to my work whatever, and am able to follow my occupation as well as before the accident. With very many thanks, I remain, Yours very gratefully, JOHN NEAL. FLOODE ROW, CHILVERS COTEN, NUNEATON, _August 9th, 1881_. John Knight wishes to say that he has every confidence in Mr. Matthews Bennett’s skill having been under his treatment several times with broken bones and dislocations, the last of which was a fracture of both thighs and a collar bone caused by a fall of earth in a coal pit belonging to Mr. Newdegate, M.P., January 2, 1875, and with God’s blessing and Mr. Bennett’s kind skill and attention he is now perfectly well.
