Of Ci-1:11111ERCE" take leave to draw your attention to this

body of persons in the City of London—by parties visiting
I ondom occasionally on mercantile affairs—and by gentlemen
on the Continent and other foreign ports.

MONIALS in favour of
PARR'S LIFE PILLS, which are acknow-
ledged to be all that are required to conquer disease, and
prolong life.

From Mr. J. SMITH, Glasgow.
GUNTLEMEN,--I have been troubled for years with a dreadful
palpitation of the heart, accompanied with great nervousness and
debility, for which I have tried everything you could mention, all
to no purpose, till I heard of PAR ft's wenderfnl LIFE PILLS,
and a friend of mine desired met) try them, which I did.
them I boug
hasht
them of Mr. Nelson, and I am happy to say that a boxf
completely restored line.
" If this will do anything to help your efforts you can make
use of it. " I remain yours, respectfully,
" JAMES SMITH."
From Mr. HENRY B kRBER, Druggist, Knutsford.
" To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills.

" GENTLEMEN,—I forward you a case below, which Mr. T. CASH
wishes to have published ; he speaks wonderfully of PARR'S
PILLS, and eels assured they have been the means of saving his
life. We have also additional testimonials from respectable farmers
is this neighbourhood.
" DEAR SIR,—I have been for the last two years dreadfully
afflicted with a cough and pain in the chest, se that I could scarcely
eat the least portion of food without causing great pain in my
chest, and shortness of breath, with a violent cough, not being able
to lie down for nine months ; having had the advice of several
medical men, without deriving any benefit, I was advised by a
friend to try PARR'S PILLS, but having tried so many patent
medicines, I thought I might as well throw my money away. I
began to think nothing would cure mo ; I was fast wasting away
with a violent pain in my head; at last my friend got mo a box
from your shop, and advised. me to try them, so I tried them, being
so strongly recommended, according to the direction, and before I
had taken •ne box, I found so much relief that I tried another,
and am now happy to say I am as well as ever I was in my life, and
shall always have a few doses by me, for they are wonderful.
(Signed) " THOMAS CASH.

'• Witness—John Thorpe."
" Mr. PARRY has been afflicted with sore eves for twelve
years, and has tried everything he could hear of without the least
oenefit, but since taking two boxes of PARR'S PILLS, his oyes
are quite well, and have been for some time.
" Mrs. SMITH has bog■ troubled with a pain in her bead for
many years, has had the most respectable medical advice, without
receiving any benefit ; is quite recovered since the has taken three
boxes of PARR'S PILLS, which are worth a sovereign a box t•
persons troubled with a sick head-ache ; I shall always have a
supply by me.
• These cases I have selected from a number of others, and C.lll

rely upon them as being correct. I shall feel great pleasure in
giving every information to any person who may favour me with
acall. I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,

•
Knutsford, June 30, 1842." " HENRY BARBER, Druggist,
From Mr. J. L. L. WOODWARD, Chemist, Bridgewater.

" GENTLZMEN,—If the enclosed letter is of service, you are at
full liberty to publish it, the man seems rather to wish for the
publication of his case.
" I am, Gentlemen, yours obediently,
"J. L. WOODWARD, Chemist,
"To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills.
" GENTLEM es,—The benefit I have received by the use of OLD
PARR'S PILLS, induces me, out of gratitude to the Proprietors,
and a wish to be of use to the whole world, to add another testi.
mouial to the numbers you have already received. For the last
two years I have been labouring under a complication of disorders
in my head and stomach. I think I may venture to say I have not
had an hour's cessation of pain during the time. My sense of
smelling was entirely gone, and the most agreeable perfume or the
most intolerant stench were equally indifferent to me. I have had
the advice of several surgeons and medical men, both in this
town and others, but without the least benefit, and I
bad dispaired of ever again regaining my health, in
fact my life was becoming burdensome to me, until
I fortunately heard of the many cures which your valuable Pills
had effected. I purchased a box of Mr. Woodward, druggist, and
before I had taken the whole I was completely cured, and have
never experienced the slightest symptoms of its return. I have
recommended them, and shall do so, as I feel I cannot do sufficient
for the benefit I have received.—l am, Gentlemen, your obliged
and grateiul servant, " PIENRY NASH.
" Bridgewater, June 13, 1842."
From Mr. GEORGE WILLIAMS, Stourport.
" To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills.
" GENTLEMEN,—When I was appointed your agent for the sale
of PARR'S PILLS, I did not anticipate a large sale for theta,
there being so many kinds of Pills already before the public; but
I am happy to inform you that I have sold nearly 1,000 boxes, and
require a fresh supply. Numerous are the eases of relief being
afforded in rheumatic, asthmatic, and liver complaints, sick head-
ache, coughs, colds, and diseases of the stomach and digestive
organs, by taking these pills. Medicine which produces so much
good to the human frame, and helps to prolong life, should be Uni.
versally recommended. Send me one gross by the earliest eon-
veyance.—l am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,
" GEORGE: WILLIAMS.

From Mr. S. SMEDLEY, Bookseller, Sleaford.
" Slealord, June let, 1842.

"To Messrs. T. Roberts and Co.
"GENTLENIEN,—I beg to announce to you (and it Is a duty I
owe the public), that the demand for PARR'S LIFE PILLS con-
tinues to increase daily, and why ? let the following case amongst
many others testify :—JOAN GREEN of this place has for many
years been afflicted with an asthma of the most isaMful kind, for
which he has had the advice of as many medical men as there are
pills in one of your boxes, but, after taking, at stated periods, only
three boxes of PARR'S PILLS, he declared to me this morning,
that now he could sleep from nine o'clock at night till seven in the
morning, although for the last two years he had never laid down in
bed, but was obliged to be propped up with pillows to enable him to
breathe at all.—l am, Gentlemen, your's respectfully,
" S. SMEDLEY, Bookseller, alc."
From Mr. THOMAS GOODE, Congleton.
" Congleton, July 12t11,184:2.

"GENTLEMEN,—At the request 6( Mrs. Ellen Frost, of this
place,l beg to hand you the accompanying testimonial for publication
" I believe she has received infinite benefit from taking PARR'S
LIFE PILLS, and is anxious that others suffering from similar
disease should be induced to avail themselves of the same means of
recovery."—l am, your most obedient servant,
"'THOMAS GOODE.

' To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills.
" GRIVTLEMBN—I beg to tender my warmest thanks for the great
benefit I have derived from your invaluable medicine. I had
for nearly two years been in a state •f consumption, and was under
the care of several eminent medical men, but could obtain no re-
lief. After taking three small boxes of your celebrated pills, lam
happy to say I ant completely restored to health, and am now fol-
lowing my ustsal employment. I beg you will snake this acknow..
ledgment public for the benefit of others similarly afflicted. I shal
be happy to answer inquiries, either made personally or by letter
(post paid).—l am, Gentlemen, yours respectfully,

TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
AVACANCY in the East India Direction having
taken place by the lamented decease of William Stanley
Clarke, Esq., permit me to inform you that it is my inten-
tion again to proceed to the Ballot as intimated in my last
address to you of the 9th June, 1842.
The great accession that I have received to my supporters,
and the kind assurances of powerful aid from numerous parties
released from their engagements by the election of the Bth
June, 1642, inspire me with the fullest confidence in the suc-
cessful result of the approaching contest., and I earnestly and
respectfully solicit the favour of the votes and influence of
those Proigrietors who have not already declared their intentions.
When the day of election is announced by the Honourable
Court, I shall do myself the pleasure of forwarding the usual
power of attorney to such of my kind supporters as shall prefer
voting by proxy, and in the meantime request the favour of
communications as early as possible, intimating their wishes in
that particular, and informing me of any change of residence,
either permanent or temporary, in order to facilitate the trans-
mission of letters.
I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your faithful servant,
JOHN CLARMONT WHITEMAN.
