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

From Mr. J. SMITH', Glasgow.

".GENTLEMEN,7 I have been troubled for years with a dreadfu

palpitation of the heart, accompanied with great nervousness and
debility, for which I have tried everything you could mention, all
to no purposo, till I heard of PAR R's wonderfnl LIFE PILLS,

and a friend of mine desired me t ► try them, which I did. I bought
them of Mr. Nelson, and I am happy to say that a box of them has
completely restored me.
"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 k RBER, Druggist, Knutsfoul.
" To the Proprietors of l'arr's Life Pills.
" 0 ExTr.F.st EN,-I forward you a case below, which Mr. T. CASH

wishes to have published ; he speaks wonderfully of PARR'S
PILLS, and feels assured they have been the means of saving his
life. We have also additional testimonials from respectable farmers
in this neighbourhood.

" DEAR 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 fur nine months ; having had the advice •f several
medical men, without ileriving 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 me ; 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 mo 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 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 eyes 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 eyes
are quite well, and have been for some time.

" Mrs. SMITH has been troubled with a pain In her head for
many years, has had tke most respectable medical advice, without
receiving any benefit ; is quite recovered since she has taken throe
boxes of PARR'S PILLS, which are worth a sovereign a box to
persons troubled with a sick hearLache; I shall always have a
supply by me. -

" These cases I have selected from a number of others, and can
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. 1.. L. WOODWARD, Chemist, Bridgewater.

" GENTLENIEN.—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.

" GENTLEMEN,—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-
monial 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
had dispaired of ever again regaining my health, in
fact my life was becoming burdensome to use, until
I fortunately heard of the many cures which your valuable Pflls
- - -

had effected. I purchased a box of Mr. NVoodward, 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 grateful servant, " HENRY NASH.

"GENTLEsugt4,— I beg to announce to you (and it is a duty I
owe the public), that the demand for PARR'S LIFU PILLS con.
Stones 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 PA RH'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 prepped up with pillows to enable bins to
breathe at all.—l am, Gentlemen, your's respectfully,

place ,I beg to hand you t he accompanying testimonial for publication

disease should be induced to avail themselves of the same means of

' To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills.

" GENTLEMEN—I beg to tender my wannest thanks for the greft
benefit I have derived from your invaluable medicine. I had
for nearly two years been in a state of 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 am completely restored to Health, and am now fol-
lowing my usual employment. I beg you will make this acknow-

GREAT DEBILITY 01 TUE SYSTEM CURED BY HOL-
LOWAY'S PILLS !—Mrs. Johnson, a, lady of fortune, le-
siding in Regeot's-park, had been for the last seven
years in a very low, nervous state, with a derangeJ
stomach, sick head-aches, and loss of appetite. She had
consulted the first medical men in the metropolis, but
got no relief. She is now, however,, by the use of these
wonderful pills, restored to as high a state of health as
she ever enjoyed. These pills should be taken by all
persons of sedentary habits, or whose constitutions have
been impaired by foreign climates, or the baneful
use of calomel. Sold at Professor Holloway's establish-
ment, 244, Strand (where advice may 14 had gratis).
and by almost all respectable medicine vendors through-
out the civilised world.
INCENDIARISM.—On Tuesday morning, about three
o'clock, it was discovered that a barn tilled with valuable
grain was on fire, belonging to Mr. Slack, relieving-
officer of the poor-law union, at Bishop's Cleeve, which
there can be no doubt was the work of an incendiary.
On the alarm being given, the engine of the Phaaux
Company, under the direction of Mr. Goodchild, started
with the utmost promptitude; the town engine followed
immediately after, whilst thy parish engine of Cleevy
had previously been brought to play on the burning
mass. The stillness of the night aided in confining the
flames to the barn, which was entirely destroyed. About
twelve kfiGaliii since a haystack belonging to Mr. Slack
was burnt in the same lieg.finpr,—Cheltenhani Examiner.

DEPTFORD CASE.—We have every reason to hp-
Hove that the case of the boy at Deptford was a genuine

nessed it, we will not take upon us to assert (here was
