London, September 1, 1843.
The BOARD of SUPERINTENDENCE of the " HALL
of COMMERCE" take leave to draw your attention to this
Institution.
It has been built and established at a very great cost, by a
-ingle individual, for the convenience of the Commercial Com-
munity of the City of London, with a degree of public spirit
worthy the metropolis of the world.
The subscription is now placed on so moderate a scale as to
I e no object of consideration, in proportion to the conveniences
offered, which aro set forth in the above Prospectus ; and the
Board are of opinion, that without interfering with any of the
existing establishments appropriated to specific branches of
,rade, these conveniences may be found available by a very large
Cody of persons in the City of London—by parties visiting
London occasionally on mercantile affairs—and by gentlemen
ore the Continent and other foreign ports.

JOHN CATTLEY, Deputy Chairman.
N.B. A Coffee-room is now open for the accommodation of
he Subscribers.

EXTRACT from the FOURTEENTH SHEET of TESTI-
MONIALS in favour of
pAltlt'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,—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 PARR's wonderful 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 RBER, Druggist, Knutsford.
"To the Proprietors of Parr's Life PiEs.
" GENTLEMEN,—I forward you a case below, which Mr. T. CASH
wishes to have published ; he speaks wonderfully of PARR'S
PILLS, and Ikeis 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, 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 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 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 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 am new 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
/pellet, but since taking two boxes of PARR'S PILLS, his eyes
arc quite well, and have been for some time.
" Mrs. SMITH has been troubled with a pain in her head for
many years, has had the most respectable medical advice, without
receiving any benefit ; is quite recovered since she has taken three
boxes of PARR'S PILLS, which are worth a sovereign a box to
persons troubled with a sick head-ache; I shall always have a
supply by me.

" These cases I have selected from a number of other., 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. L. L. WOODWARD, Chemist, Bridgewater.

" GENTLIEMEN,—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.
" GENTLEMRN.—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 wisole world, to add another testi.
monial to the numbers you have already resseived. For the last
two years I have been labouring under a complication of disorders
in my head and stomach. I think I may vesture to say I have not
had an hour's cessation of pain during the time. My sense of
smelling was entirely sone,• and the most agreeable perfume or the
most intolerant stench were equally indifferent to me. I have had
the .:deice 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 healLh, 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 canaot do sufficient
for the benefit 1 have received.—l am, Gentlemen, your obliged

arid grateiul servant, " YENRY NASId.
"Bridgewater, June 13, 1842."
From Mr. GEORGE WILLIAM, gtourport.

" 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 them,
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 cases 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.
venially recommended. Send me one gross by the earliest ton-
veyanca.—l am, Gentlemen, your obvdlent servant,

"To Messrs. T. Roberts and Co.

" GeN'lLEmers,—l beg to announce to you (and it is a duty I
owe the public), that the demand for PARR'S LIFE PILLS con.
Unties to increase daily, and wby ? let the following case amongst
many others testify :—JOHN GREEN of this place has for many
yeaks been atllicted 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 scorning,
that Bow 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,
