The information supplied by these Offices is of such a character so searching—positive—and decisive, as ha

The manner in which our information has been received will be best understood when we state that the turnover
for our subscribers from January to December, 1875, was £6,461,003.

The English Oils contain no Opium or other poisonous
ingredient, but arc distilled from Choice English and Ameri-
can Herbs, together with Medicinal Gums, which render
them perfectly safe in ail cases requiring an outward appli-
cation.
Test is,.n en lfrom a Lady living near Brierley Hill.
Ske says—Tour English Oils are worth a Guinea a Bottle.
purchased a Is lid bottle from you, and had very little
hopes of receiving any relief as I had tried so many differ-
ent things, and was still getting worse instead of better.
My nights were very bad, not closing my eyes to sleep for
hours together, neither could I turn myself in bed without
assistance ; but after using a little of your English Oils I
had a comfortable night's rest; and in the morning, to the
astonishment of myself and family, was able to rise from my
bed and dross myself without any assistance, which I hail
not been able to do for many weeks before. I shall recom
mend the English Oils whenever I have an opportunity, and
shall be happy to state my case to any respectable person;
but in consequence of my family connection should not
wish my name to appear in the public papers.
Mrs. Marlow, Level Street, Brierley Hill, was witness to
the above Testimonial, being present when the lady called.
