MEDICAL REFORM.

THE DAY OF RETRIBUTION HAS ARRIVED.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Thank Heaven, the day of retribution has ar-
rived! The infamous persecution of Hygeists about ten
years ago by a set of paltry diplomaed and grossly ig-
norant country doctors, is now recoiling against the
whole profession with treble force. The infamous man-
ner in which these paltry doctors imposed upon con-
fiding juries (because they lost their patients) is now
made manifest to all persons. They are all sinking to-
gether, and though they obtained by hand a temporary
triumph, they have been the means of hastening the
grand question of medical reform by fifty years. Yes,
we shall now have the grand question fairly decided by
the voice of the people. They have found out that doc-
tors have made medicine a perfect trade, and they are
determined to be no longer imposed upon. Every per-
son throughout England must now see through the
whole business. The medical trade may he considered
at an end. We will have true physicians, not parties
who, by keeping the public in ignorance of the truth,
under the sanction of a piece of parchment, make a
trade of the miseries of the great human family! Joseph
Webb and Thomas La Mott, behold your persecutors
sinking into merited contempt! !

MEDICAL TESTIMONIAL-SIGTIT AND
'TEARING.

From T. J. Pettigrew, Surgeon, P.R.S. to Messrs.
S. and B. Solomons, opticians, 39, Albemarle-street,
Piccadilly,—Gentlemen, I have no hesitation in replying
to your inquiry as to the results obtained by the use of
your Improved Spectacles ; being in the constant habit
of reading and writing for many hours together by lamp-
light, it is but justice to say that your newly invented
Spectacle Lenses have afforded me the greatest comfort.
When I employed the ordinary pebbles, I never failed to
experience in the morning a great irritation in the eyes.
Since I have used your admirable glasses I suffer from
no inconvenience of the kind, and my vision is much im-
proved. I shall ever feel grateful to my good friend,
Dr. Blundell for having drawn my attention to the sub-
ject.—Believe me to be yours, very respectfully. T. J.
PErrionEw, 8, Saville-row. Also, newly invented
Acromatic Waistceat-pocket Telescopes and Opera-
glasses of the same kind of Lenses.—Every kind of Te-
lescope of larger size and increasing powers for shooting,
sea purposes, and upon stand for astronomical observa-
tions the powers are so great and the lenses so bright
and brilliant that minute objects at an extraordinary dis-
tance is brought completely under the eyes. Sportsmen
tourists, and sea-side visitors will indeed hero have a
great treat. Acoustic instruments of every description
for deafness. Caution.—Messrs. S. & B. Solomons, opti-
cians and aurists, are not in any way connected with a
person of the same name in their immediate neighbour-
hood, nor in any part of the country. To prevent mis-
takes, be cautious, and observe—Only to be had at 39,

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A NEVER FAILING REMEDY
FOR ALL CASES OF SCURVY, SCORBUTIC HUMOURS,
AND SCROFULA, BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINT-
MENT.—EXTRAORDINARY CURE.—Henry Hill, now a
footman to Lord 8., was lately discharged from the Duke
of B's. service in consequence of his having large
scorbutic blotches all over his hands and face, to his
great disfigurement. For twelve months ho was treated
by his master's medical attendants, but to no purpose,
and the case was at last declared incurable, and ho was
discharged. The poor fellow thou, as a forlorn hope,
commenced using Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which
effectually eradicated the disease from his blood
in less than three weeks. Sold at Professor Hollo-
way's Establishment, 224, Strand (where advice may
be had gratis), and by almost all respectable vendors of
medicine throughout the civilised world.
