" DEAR SIR,—I have been for the last two years dreadfully
afflicted
with a cough and pain in the chest, so 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 hail the advice of several
ROdical 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 use ; I was fast wasting away
With a violent pain in my head ; at last my friend got me 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 one box, I found so much relief that I tried another,
and are new happy to say I am as well as ever I was in my life, and
shall always have a few de:es by wie, for they are wonderful.
(Signed) " THOMAS CASH.

Witness—John Thorpe."
" Mr. PARRY has been afflicted with sore eyes for twelve
years, and has tried everything ke could hear of without the least
oenefit, but since taking two boxes of PARR'S PILLS, his eyes
are quite well, and have been for some time.
" Mrs, SMITH has been troubled with a pain in her head for
*)anryears, has had the most respectable medical advice, without
receiving any benefit ; is quite recovered since she has taken three
Loxes of PARR'S PILLS, which are worth a sovereign a box t•
Persons troubled with a sick headache; I shall always have a
supply by me. _

" These cases I have selected from a number of others, and can
41Y upon them as being correct. I shall feel great pleasure in
giving every information to any person who may favour me with

"To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills.
"GENTLEMEN,—The benefit I have received by the use of OLD
T'ARE'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-
Menial to the numbers you have already received. For the last
tw° Years I have been labouring under a complication of disorders
1114 reY head and stomach. I think I may venture to say I have not
41 an hour's cessation of pain during the time. My sense of
smelling was entirely
gone, and the most agreeable perfume or the
Melt intolerant stench were equally indifferent to me. I have had
tthe advice of several surgeons and medical men, both in this
,°_llll and others, but without the least benefit, and I
:14 dispaired of ever again regaining my health, in
fact
1117 life was becoming burdensome to me, until
I fortunately
heard of the many cures which your valuable Pills
12_1(1 effected. I purchased a box of Mr. Woodward, druggist, and
'efere I had taken the whole I was completely cured, and have
never experienced the slightest symptoms of its return. I have
I.eeoll3lnended them, and shall do so, as I feel I cannot do sufficient

" GENTLEMEN,— I beg to announce to you (and it is a duty I
bite 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 :—JOHN GREEN of this place has for many
years been afflicted with an asthma of the most painful 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,
