The astonishing success which has crowned the applica tion of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the attention of the afflicted. _ . This excellent Medicine, so uni versa lly es t eeme d, is un attended with the least danger or inconvenience, and hundreds have experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was first introduced. Such are the properties of this invaluable Specific that persons labouring under the most distressing Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Lumbago, and rendered thereby in capable of assisting themselves, have been relieved in a few hours. Amongst many which are being daily received are the following Testimonials : 4, Paternoster-rota Stn,—Having been informed of the surprising cure of Mr. Barnes, of St. Paul's Churchyard, who was so severely afflicted by Rheumatism, the intense pain causing delirium, that he was com pelled to be confined by a strait waistcoat to prevent his commit ing any violence, and whose case was considered entirely hopeless, was induced to ascertain the particulars, and being satisfied of he truth of my information, encouraged me to make a trial of your most invaluable Medicine, entertaining little hopes of success, hav ing been many years so severe a suff erer , an d t r i e d many said to be very valuable remedies. lam very happy in being able in adding my testimony of the benefit I derived : after a few days' application the use of my limbs are perfectly restored, and I am now able to attend my business, and, making an allowance for my age, never was better in my life. To those, however severely afflicted and hopeless their case may have been pronounced, I beg of them to make a trial, feeling quite satisfied they will be restored to the use of their limbs, from the severe cases that have yielded to this Me dicine. Health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, but to those who are depiliPed, none feels it so severe as the tradesman or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of business, and, ruin on families. I shall at all times feel it my duty to make it known to those afflicted, to evince how grateful I am for my restoration, and am, Sir, yours truly, GEORGE POLLARD. October 20, 1844. Milk-street, Cheapside. Stn,—l feel it a duty I owe to society, publicly to make known the benefit I received by using your exedlent Medicine. Having been confined to my house three years with Lumbago and Rheuma tism, unable to remove without the use of crutches, 1 had despaired of ever gaining relief, having tried every popular remedy which hay been sent by my friends from various parts of the globe, none of whirls had any effect. I have consulted the most able Physicians, one of whom stated, that however lamentable my case was, 1 ought to be thankful, from my great sufferings—being frequently in a state of madness—that I could with the assistance of crutches move at all. From the high recommendation I had of your valuable Medicine I was induced to make another effort, although in strict opposition to my medical attendants ; and, doubtful as it may appear, in the short space of twelve hours I was enabled to walk the length of my warehouse without the assistance of crutches. The Physician who had declared my case hopeless was equally rejoiced as myself that he was deceived, and hoped that publicity would be given to the remedy, ns the London Hospitals were not i n p ossess i on o f any re medy to relieve their unfortunate Rheumatic patients. Being so long an invalid, I was not without knowing a nurnbe of unhappy sufferers; to several I sent some Medicine, and am happy to state that the accounts I h ave rece i ve d are of the most gratifying description. . I trust you will use every exertion in making public your excel lent remedy, that those afflicted may know where to get relief. JOHN'MITCHELL Well-street, Cripplegate. stft,—l have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout ane Rheumatism, not a part from my head to feet free from pair, and as helpless as an infant : not even a finger could I move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my medical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that I might remain months in my deplorable situation. Fo'rtunately your remedy was made known to me, or I migli have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close application of four days, my troublesome companion began to disappear; in a week I was capable of walking about my room, and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medicine was enabled to leave London. Fearful of another attack, you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, D. W. STONE 14, Belmont-place, Wandsworth-road, Oct. 26, 1944. feel in duty bound to acknowledge, that after suffering acute pains from Sciatica, or severe Rheumatic affection in the hip joint, and being deprived of rest, I was persuaded to try your em brocation, and have the pleasure to say that after three applications I was restoreo to my usual health ; and, although two years have passed, I have no return of the iisorder,—l am, sir, gratefally yours, EDWARD NOTES.

FREDERICK RICKETTS, Chairman LANCASTER AND PRESTON RAILWAY TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SIR, MAY I bee permissio n t o ma k e th e f o ll ow i ng remar k s upon an article in the Railway Times of Saturday last, beaded Bristol and Gloucester versus Lancaster and Preston Railways, signed It. Q., wherein the writer, con trasting those two lines, appears struck with wonder at their relative prices, showing that the Lancaster and Preston, although at a discount in the market, is actually 400 per cent. more to be preferred as an investment than the Bristol and Gloucester, the latter having attained to 43 per cent. premium; but how the writer reconciles this statement with fact I am at a loss to conceive, unless it be that the Lancaster and Preston's secured dividend is as much to £4OO as Bristol and Gloucester's coming dividend will be to £lOO : if that is the meaning, then R. Q. is correct. As to the anticipated extra traffic on the opening of the Lancaster and Carlisle, few conversant with the present mode and route can infer otherwise than that it will be an immense increase. If we compare this line with the competition so rife through the Centre, South, East, and West of England, we try in vain to find a line alike secure against inva,ion with such bright prospects. Whe ther the late arrangements with the other company be the best that could have been come to for the proprietary, is another matter, such description of property being not yet put up to the highest bidder. No doubt, should a certain projected line receive the sanction of the legislature, in the coming session, then the Lancaster and Preston might have been a bargain to the parties hinted at by R, Q. at 10 per cent. ; however, I presume that the decision with the Lancaster asd Carlisle is final, consequently there is an end to the matter. It app ars, however, that the di rectors have made a tolerably fair arrangement, by not binding the proprietary to a five per cent. for ever, but have also secured to them one-third of the profits above five per cent. upon the line between Preston and Carlisle; or left them at liberty to amalgamate interests if they chose, which last, I doubt not, will be the result ; so that the proprietors may only have to wait a little longer for their ten per cent. than if the plan alluded to by R. Q. had been carried into effect. Besides, in the present state of affairs, it is very likely, as well as con s i s te n t, th a t new shares will b e crea t e d or executing a double line from Lancaster to Carlisle, one-third of which shares will be allotted to the Lancaster and Preston original shares, otherwise what right will the Lancaster and Preston have to receive one-third of all the profits upon the whole line ? Such is in accordance with the proceedings of other com nanies similarly circumstanced, (witness North Alidlanci with Sheffield and Itotheram,) thus placing the Lancaster and Preston in a better position than if tied down to a ten per cent, by any lease. The position and capabilities of the two bodies, once united, opposition being impractica ble, will givesecurity for investments unequalled in the pre sent history of Railways; it therefore must, ultimately, prove a most prosperous line. Though not agreeing in all that R. Q. has stated, yet there is one thing upon which I cannot differ, that upon the opening of the Lancaster and Carlisle the Lancaster and Preston shares will be worth at least double their present price. If R. Q. be a proprietor, and afraid the directors have made a bad bargain, I would suggest a little patience, as a very short period will exhibit his property at a very different price to the present.
