    Spencer Hovusst, Ramscatez, Kent, March 1, 1848. My Dear Sir, It affords me much pleasure dedicating to you this Treatise in support of those prin- ciples of the Water-cure which you have so eminently contributed to establish in this country. That the health of our fellow-creatures may be- come as universal as your benevolence can desire, and that you may long live to enjoy the happiness of witnessing it, is the most ardent wish of. G My Dear Sir, Yours truly, THOMAS SMETHURST, M.D. To R. T. Cuaripnes, Esa.
