BIONIALS 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.
" 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 wonderfni LIFE PILLS,
and a friend of mine desired met) 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 BARBER, Druggist, Knutsford.

" To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills.

" GENTLEMEN,—I forward you a case below, which Mr. T. CASH
wishes t• have published ; he speaks wonderfully of PARR'S
PILLS, and lbels assured they have been the means of saving his
life. We have also additional testimonials from respectable farmers
ia this neighbourhood.
" Dean Slll,—l 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 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 ley life, and
shall always have a few doses by me, for they are wondextkil.
(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 PIL 14s, 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 three
bores 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 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. am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,

From Mr. J. L. L. WOODW . ARD Chemist, Bridgewater.

" GENTLSMEN,—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.

"J. L. WOODWARD, Chemist,
"To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills.
" GENTLEURN,—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 reeeived. 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 1 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 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
arid grateiul servant, " I'IENRY NASH.

From Mr. GEORGE WILLIAMS, Stourport.
" To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills.

GENTLIMEN,—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.
versally recommended. Send me one gross by the earliest eon-
veyance.—l am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,

" GEORGE WILLIAMS.

"GENTLEMEN,-1 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 :—JOHN GREEN of this pine 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, be 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,
