been definitively settled.

[ ADVERTISEMENT.] SHIN DISEASES.—DR.POWELL'S
TESTIMONY OF TIIE EFFICACY OF HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINT-
MENT.—Extract of a letter, dated 16, Blessington-street, Dublin,
Feb. 9, 1847. Professor Holloway.—Dear Sir,—Having devoted my
particular attention for some years to the treatment of cutaneous, or
skin diseases, 1 think it right to inform you that I hive, in a great
many case , recommended the use of your Pills and Ointment, and
invariably found them to have the most perfect effect in removing
those diseases, even when of a very desperate nature. (Signed)
W. E. POWELL, M.D. In cases of scald heads, ringworms, pimples
or tetters on the face, the teffect of the medicines is astonishing.—
