RAPID CURE OF COUGH & DIFFICULTY OF BREATHING,
Hale, near Liverpool.
Sir,—l write to inform you of the great benefit I have received
from taking Locock's Wafers, which you •recommended to me:
I was so much oppressed at my chest that when I lay down a,
coughing fit came on with such violence that I have often thought
I should not live to see the morning ; hut'now I can sleep a whole
night without coughing, after having talßen only two boxes or
wafers. J. HAvNE:s.

eased her cough, and by continuing them she is perfectly cured.

IMPORTANT TO ALL WHO SING.
From Mr. Edward Page,. Director of the Choir and Organist of

St..Peter'A:Ctholic Church, Leamington
Gentlemen,—Having frequently suffered much from relaxation
of the throat, I have often been obliged to resort to various pre-
parations; but since "shave had the good fortune to try Dr.
Locock's Pulmonic Wafers, I am now but seldom obliged to re-
sort to them, for the extrordinary good effects they have produced
are most surprising. Even when the throat appears to be com-
pletely exhausted, and the voice to be nearly gone,.two or three
(at most four) will, in the short space of half an hour or so, com-
pletely restore its flexibility and power, and they do not act as a
mere temporary exciting remedy, nor do they leave any lassitude
after. Having felt the great value of the remedy, I feel it a duty
to generally recommend it, as I am convinced that all persons
will find immense benefit from the general and persevering use of
it. Enwara: PAGE.
To SINGERS and PUBLIC: SPEAKERS they are invaluable, as in
%few hours they remove all hoarseness, and increase the power
and flexibility of the voice. They have a pleasant taste,

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.—
This preparation is one of the benefits which the science of

Mr. W. TA.YLOR, bookseller, Warminster, Wilts, writes
e` Wm. Penny, of Carton, Wilts, was allicted with Rheumatism,'
to such an extent that he could not move hand or foot ; ,he was
recommended by a gentleman to try Blair's Pills, and acaordingly
procured a.box.at Mr. Taylor's, from which he derived so much
benefit, :bathe sent for another, which effected a complete cure."

I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to mass so value-.

certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover,. I
rejoice to say that my health has net in any degree suffered ; but
on the contrary, I believe the tendency of Blair's towards.
its improvement."
