()ed a fearful bad Knee.—Extract of a letter from Mr.
Joseph Rogerson, of the Pottery-fields, Hunslet, near
Leeds, dated Sept. 15, 1854.—" To Professor'Holloway.
—Sir, I suffered for months with a very bad knee, and
tried every remedy likely to benefit me, without success.
The joint was quite stiff and so swollen that I became
seriously alarmed as to whether I should ever again have
the use of it ; however, by the use of your Ointment and
Pills, the swelling was soon considerably reduced, and
in two weeks was completely cured, which enabled 'me
to resume my work."—Sold by all vendors of medicine,
and at Professor Holloway's establishments, 244, Stsandi
