HEALTH FOR A SHILLING.-
HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.
EXTRAORDINARY CURE OY LOSS OF HEALTH, DIS-
ORDERED STOMACH, INDIGESTION AND DETERMINATION
OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD.—Copy of a Letter from Mr. John
Lloyd, of 'Trio-wen, near Harlech, Merionethshire, dated
6th June, 1852.—T0 Professor Holloway,—Sir,—For a very
long period I was afflicted with a dangerous giddiness and
frequent swimmings in the head, attended byloss of appe-
tite, disordered stomach, and generally impaired health.
Every means had failed to give me any permanent relief, and
at length it became so alarming that I was really afraid of
going about without an attendant. In this melancholy con-
dition I waited personally upon Mr. Hughes, Chemist,
Harlech, for the purpose of consulting him as to what I
had better do ; lie kindly recommended your Pills, I tried
them without delay, and after taking them for a short time
I am happy to bear testimony to their wonderful efficacy.
am now restored to perfect health, and enabled to resume
my usual duties. JOHN LLOYD.
MinAcuLous CURE OF Duopsy .--Extract of a Letter
from Edward Rowley, Esq., of India Walk, Tobago, dated
April Bth, 1552.—T0 Professor Holloway,—Sir,--1 deem it a
duty I owe to you and the public at large to inform you of a
most miraculous recovery from that dreadful disease,
Dropsy, and which, under God, was affected by your inva-
luable Pills. I was tapped five times within eight months,
and skilfully treated by two medical practitioners, but could
not get cured, until I had recourse to your remedy, and not-
withstanding all I had undergone, this miraculous medicine
cured me in the course of six weeks.—EDWARD ROWLEY.
INFALLIBLE CURE OF A STOMACH COMPLAINT, WITH
INDIGESTION AND VIOLENT HEAD-ACHES.—Extract of a
Letter from Mr. S. Gowen, Chemist, of Clifton, near Bristol,
dated July 14th, 1852.—T0 Professor Holloway,—Dear Sir,—
I am requested by a lady named Thomas, just arrived
from the West Indies, to acquaint you that for a period of
eight years herself and family suffered from continual bad
health, arising from disorders of the Liver and Stomach,
Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, violent Head-aches, pains in
the side, weakness and general debiiity, for which she con-
sulted the most eminent men in the colony, but without any
beneficial result; at last, she bad recourse to your invaluable
Pills, which in a very short time effected so great a change
for the better, that she continued them, and the whole family
were restored to health and strength. S. GOWEN.
A DANGEROUS LIVER COMPLAINT AND SPASMS IN THE
STOMACH EFFECTUALLY CURED.—Copy of a Letter from
Mr. Bostock, Druggist, of Ashton-under-Lyne, dated July 31,
1852.—T0 Professor Holloway,—Dear Sir,—A person in this
neighbourhood with whom I am well acquainted was af-
flicted for a long time with violent spasmodic pains in the
stomach and liver, arising from frequent colds, smells of
paint, and the effects of a stooping position which he was
obliged to assume in his business. At length he heard of
your invaluable Pills, and gave them a trial. The first dose
gave him considerable relief, and by following them up in
accordance with your directions, they have acted so wonder-
fully in cleansing the liver and stomach, and strengthening
the digestive organs, that he has been restored to the enjoy-
ment of good health. W. BOSTOCK.

TUESDAY JIORXING, SEPT. 27, 1853

THE

WEEK

PERHAPS the most interesting event of the week
is the munificent donation of our townsman, Mr.
WILLIAM BROWN, M.P., towards a new building
for the Liverpool Free Library, to which we have
alluded more at length in a leading article. We
have also commented, elsewhere, upon the proposed
improvements in the town, which- were brought
before the Town Council at their special meeting
on Wednesday last. They will, no doubt, have to
undergo considerable discussion before a final de-
cision is arrived at.

It is satisfactory to observe that the weekly report
of the medical officer shows a continued favourable
state of the health of the town, as judged by the
amount of mortality, notwithstanding the appre-
hensions naturally excited from the appearance of
the cholera in the eastern parts of the kingdom. It

tends to prove that sanitary regulations have not
been neglected, and that the large population of
Liverpool enjoy as many advantages as can be
found elsewhere.

The subscriptions for raising a fund for the re-
storation of the chimes of St. Peter's Church are
daily increasing, so that little doubt remains as to
the object being successfully carried out ; but, as
a large sum is necessarily required, more aid is
needed, and it is to be hoped that the appeal will
be liberally responded to. It is more than twenty
years since the chimes of St. Peter's were silenced
by the renewal of the bells, which are now most
musical, and will be heard to ten-fold advantage.
_ _

It would seem as if the minions of Rome ;ere
determined to expose themselves in their true
colours, and to rely solely upon mental prostration
for their hold upon the credulity of their dupes.
The other day, in London, a Romish Priest was
committed to gaol for indecent exposure, and since
then the woman who complained of him has had
to appeal to the magistrates for protection for her
life against the assaults of the Priest's sympathisers.
Ireland affords another case, where a Romish Priest

refused to be sworn on the Holy Scriptures, be-
cause he did not believe in them. When will the
dupes of Rome have their eyes open to the wicked-
ness of the false gods they are worshipping ?

The farewell visit of GRISI and -31 A to the
Philharmonic-hall, Liverpool, appears to have
created an excitement among the lovers of vocal
music unparalleled since the rage for JENNY LIND.
Not only has every seat in the spacious building
been engaged for the concert of the 4th of October,
but a similar difficulty in obtaining admission will
exist as to the second concert, on the following
Tuesday, as we understand that very nearly all the
tickets have been already taken.
The meeting on Tuesday, to receive the report of
the Committee for raising a fund for the erection
of a Testimonial to the late Duke of WELLINGTON,
disclosed a melancholy forgetfulness of that sense
of honour which is said to prevail even amongst
those who are destitute of common honesty. The
MAYOR stated that out of 223 names affixed to the
requisition for calling the preliminary meeting on
the subject, there were 212 which were not to be
found in the list of subscribers. It might be con-
sidered personal if the names of such defaulters
were published, but a hint will no doubt be
sufficient. It was stated at the meeting that the
amount subscribed was inadequate for the realisa-
tion of the proposed pillar and statue. We repeat
the suggestion we made some time since, that the
money might be devoted to the erection of a dis-
tinct wing or ward in the asylum to be established
by the metropolitan- fund, and that it might bear
the appellation of the town as a memorial of Liver-
pool's appreciation of the great Duke.

Mr. NEWLANDS, the borough engineer, has just
published a very comprehensive Report of the
sewerage, paving, cleansing, and other works
effected in the borough of Liverpool under the
Sanitary Act. It comprises many interesting
particulars, with some valuable suggestions for
further improvements. One of the conveniences
which ought not to be delayed is that of a
regular numbering of the houses, a measure which
Mr, NEWLANDS hopes to effect in the course of
next year.

The nuisance of the smoke from the ferry steam-
boats plying at the Landing-stage, has been
partially remedied by the application of Mr. LEE
STEVENS' invention of smokeless furnaces to the
Lord Morpeth, Woodside boat. We understand
that the saving of fuel amounts already to eleven
per cent., with a prospect of still further reduc-
tion, and this should of itself be a sufficient
inducement for the plan to be more generally
adopted, more particularly as the expense of con-
version from the old system to the new is very
trifling.
