Mr. Spalding, of Salem. This may certify, that the fubferiber, in his visits among his people, has used Dr. Perkins's metallic paints, to re lieve paias and inflammations of various kinds, and has fueceedcd to his astonishment. They have feldam failed to relieve the head-ach, teeth-ach, ague in the face, in flammation in the eyes, cramp, cholic, rheematifm, pains of the breast and fide, biles, fcaldsand burns—Sometimes there has been a perfed cure from one operation. A lad •who had been confined three days with high symptoms of a fever, very hot and full of pain, by an operation of the paints, designed to relieve his head, his face turned pMe and cold, hi*- fever and pain immediately left him, and in a few days he was out of doors ; the year before, at the fame season, he was taken with the f.'.me symptoms, a»d lay extremely sick forty days. The efficacy of the metal lic points has gained great credit in this town. JOSHUA SPALDING. December 5, 1796. Rev. Elhanan Winchejtx*.
