by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—The following certificate
from Mr. Alcorn, of Jerry's Plains, New South Wales, was
forwarded to Professor Holloway by Mr. Pinkey, chemist, of
the same place. " This is to certify that my daughter, aged
seven years, was afflicted with scrofula for three years, and that,
after she had been attended by several respectable practitioners,
without success, I was induced to try Holloway's Ointment
and Pills, which remedies in about three months completely
cured her, and she is now in the best of health. This can be
verified by various persons in this vicinity, where I have resided
for twenty-two years. (Signed) R. Alcorn. Jan. 1, 1849,"
