I, THOMAS IDLE, Gen****IDALIS, vol. LXXI. tleman, was lately afflicted with a long train of complicated, nervous diforders, p. 1070, calls upon fuch as lofs of fleep, appetite, &c. atme in terms fo flat tended with a great degree of indotering and fo polite, lence, latitude, and ennui, &c. I had that it may, perhaps, read in the Newfpapers of many infalli ***** feem contemptuous ble remedies in fuch cafes, but cannot to remain entirely inattentive to fay, with truth, that I tried them all in the hint which he is pleased, by vain; for, Providence having been gracioutly pleafed to preferve to me the your means, to throw out to me. The little effay to which he al-fe of my fenfes, I never touched any Judes, vol. LXXI. p 4, was merely au occafional effution adapted to the auspicious feafon at which it was written. If it had any merit, it must be derived from its prefagement of that Plenty and Peace which in the interim hath been fo happily realized. As, however, the bletlings even of Peace and Plenty may fail of their ultimate enjoy ment, unattended by that confummation of all fublunary enjoyment, "A found mind in a found body," I have upon this occafion taken up a new fubject; which, to Fidals (who profefles himself an invalid), and to many others of your valetutudinarian readers, may poffibly prove falutary and important; and I have thrown it into fuch a formula as to render it perfectly intelligible to all fuch who may, under the various complaints to which my prefcription is adapted, have recourfe to it; and to the efficacy of which I beg to fubfcribe my own probatum eft. BENEVOLUS. "ADVERTISEMENT EXTRAORDINARY. "To the Rheumatic-the Gouty the Billious-the Nervous-the Hypochondriac-the Splenetic-the Voluptoons-the Petulant-and the Proud.

"When the difeafed find a cure, it feems, want of gratitude not to inform In this fituation, rendered uneafy enough by the pains and anxiety of the diffe, and the fill more dreadful ap prehenfion of the tormenting procefs of cure, I was vifited by an old friend (a great fmatterer in phyfick, though he never takes any), who thought he could do me fervice by a medicine, which, if it did me no good, fhould at leaft do no harm. This fortunate circumftance is fo feldom known to happen, that I did not liften to hit without fome degree of ditidence; but, however, out of civility I begged he would proceed. It was then the fpring feafon. Rife, fays he, moderately early in the morning; and, when the weather will at any rate permit, either in your kitchen or flower garden, avail yourfelf of the following prefeription: Recipe. Your Spade, Rake, Hoe, and fuch like infiruments of culture: purfue the use of them, at proper intervals, as long and in fuch a degree as your firength will permit. No particular regimen is neceflary, but to avoid the bane of repletion. I ventured to follow the old gentleman's advice; and though the mediCine was fo rough that I could bear but, a very finall dofe of it at firfi, I foon becanie better reconciled to it, and found myself every day enabled to take it in a till larger proportion. To be fhort: I continued the course from that time to this. By the bleffing of God, my complaints, both real and imaginary, are all vanifhed. I can eat like a greyhound; my nerves and fpirits are in excellent order; and, as for fleep, fields. We affure the friends of Virtue and their Country, that there is at least in the Gentleman's Magazine an earnest defire to afford opportunity for the fair and honeft inveftigation of Truth, for the difplay of known and approved talent, for the nurture of modeft genius, for the followers and votaries of every Mufe.
