panies each bottle of Rowland's Macassar Oil, wherein important
hints and advice will be found on the culture of the hair of infancy,
and on its preservation and beauty through the several stages of
human life.

trifle more profit, vend the most spurious trash under the title of
"Macassar Oil." It is therefore imperative on purchasers to see that

the wrapper nearly 1,500 times, containing 29,028 letters.—

TO.Mr. THOMAS PEOIIT, 229,
of a LETTER from WILLIAM
Church Farm, Barton Stacey,
Station, Hants,
Sir,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have
experienced in taking your Pills for the Gout. I was taken on Thurs-
day
October
night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get out
of my bed, and atter I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in-
flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and
within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards
took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this
morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found in
a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in
my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must
have died. and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that
time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved me—within two
hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be knowa all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that
suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has
been your Pills. Make what use you please of my report.—Sours
truly and respectfully-, WILLIAM COURTNEY.
Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age, none
have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the community-,
nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the Impor-
tant discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS,
the efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recom-
mendation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effec-
tive for gout and rheumatism, in all its various forms, including
sciatica, lumbago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as
tooth-ache, &c. They require neither confinement nor attention of
any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach,
brain, or other vital part.
Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; an by his appoint-
ment, by all respectable medicine vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.
