W. H. Newnham
The following letter was forwarded to me by H. Newnham, Esq., for the purpose of publication:—
"January 24th, 1843.
"My dear Sir,—Having, by the vapour of prussic acid, been nearly cured by yourself of an opacity of the cornea, which, for twenty years past, had rendered the sight of my left eye of little worth more than to distinguish light from darkness; and firmly believing that, when I shall be able to replace myself under your care, my sight will be perfectly restored; and having also, during my attendance at your house, witnessed the beneficial effects of this remedy on many other persons, the subjects of cataract, amaurosis, staphyloma, &c., I earnestly beg you will accept this testimony of my high opinion of its efficacy in these cases.
"I am yours gratefully,
"William H. Newnham, Surgeon, &c.
"Late of Alton, Hants."
"To A. Turnbull Esq., 48, Russell Square."
