TO SUFFERERS,
INSTANT RELIEF FROM PAIN !

TEAN LEFAY'S GRAND POMMADE.
This extraordinary preparation cures in most cases by one
application those formidable and tormenting maladies, Tic
Doloreux, Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, and all painful affec-
tions of the Nerves, giving instant relief in the most severe
paroxysms. Patients who for years had drawn on a miserable
existence by being deprived of sleep from acute pain, and many
that had lost the free use of their limbs from weakness, caused
by Paralysis and Rheumatism, to the astonishment of their
medical attendants and acquaintance have by a few rubbings
been restored to health, strength, and comfort, after Electri-
city, Galvanism, Blistering, Veratrine, Colchicum, and all the
usual remedies had been tried and found worse than useless.
Its surprising effects have also been experienced in its rapid
cure of Nervous Affections of the Heart, Palpitation, Difficulty
of Breathing, Pains of the Loins, Sciataca,Glandular Swellings,
and Weakness of the Ligaments and Joints. It may be used
at any time by the most delicate person with the greatest safe-
ty, requiring no restraint from business or pleasure, nor does
it cause any eruption on the most tender skin.

PARALYSIS.
MR. HALSE, the MEDICAL GALVANIST, of 22,
Brunswick-square, London, earnestly recommends In-
valids and Gentlemen of the Medical profession to peruse the
following. It cannot but surprise them, and will prove to them
the all but miraculous powers of Galvanism, when applied in a
scientific manner, and with an efficient apparatus.
The following case is perhaps as remarkable a one as could
be selected, as showing the powers of Galvanism, after every
medicine, and almost every medical practitioner in Devonshire,
had been tried in vain ; and as the truth of it is witnessed by a
distinguished Clergyman of the Established Church, there can,
one would suppose, be no doubt in any one's mind as to its ac-
curacy. When the patient was brought to Mr. H. his wife told
him that she could not believe that Galvanism or anything else
could possibly restore him,for his complaint had been standing
so long, and he was in such a weak state, that it would be pre-
sumptuous to expect any. benefit, particularly as he had tried
the most celebrated physicians in Devonshire, and still daily
continued to get worse. She also stated that her friends blamed
her very much for removing him from his home ; but she
could not help it I her husband had heard of such extraordinary
cures made by Mr. H. in his complaint, that galvanized he
would be, in spite of everything. His medical man was quite
angry with him for thinking of such a thing ; and when his
friends were carryi ngh im from his house to the carriage, every one
appeared to be convinced that they should never see him alive
any more. But notwithstanding all the difficulties he had to
contend with, he was determined, and insisted upon being gal-
vanized. The following letter, which he sent to the editor of
the Exeter Flying Post, will prove the result :
OUGHT NOT GALVANISM TO BE MORE GENERALLY
RESORTED TO 7—A Letter to the Editor of the Flying Post,
by one who has derived immense benefit from the power of
the Galvanic Apparatus.

" MR. EDIT011;•:-A few weeks since I noticed a paragraph by
you stating that Galvanism ought to be more generally em-
ployed. I beg to state that lam precisely of the same opinion,
for I have witnessed its astonishing effects in a number of cases,
and its power has been tried practically on myself, with the
happiest results. In that paragraph I was most happy to find
favourable mention of Mr. Halse's name. All that you have
said of him, and even more, is his due; indeed, as for myself,
I have cause to bless the day that I first placed myself under
his care. Now, sir, my case was a most deplorable one, for I
had not the least use of either arm or leg—they hung about me
like as if they did not belong to me, and the strength of my
legs was insufficint to support the weight of my body ; of
course I could not stand, and if you had offered me a thousand
guineas to move either hand but one inch from the place where
It might have been placed, I could not have done it ; not the
least command had I over my limbs. My complaint was
caused by a blow in the back. Well, as before stated, I placed
myself under Mr. Halse's galvanic treatment. I had been led
to believe that it was a dreadful operation to go through; but
I was agreeably surprised that there was no unpleasantness at
all about it, not even enough to make a child cry, so beauti-
fully does Mr. Halse manage his battery. In three days, sir, I
could stand upon my legs, and in one week I could walk about
the house;; at the same time, I also partially recovered the use
of my arms; and in six weeks, I could walk several miles in a
day, without the least assistance. Well might you ask, 'Ought
not galvanism to be much resorted to ?' After what I have
seen and experienced, I do consider it a shame that a portion
of the medical profession should decline to recommend their
patients to try the powers of galvanism. Perhaps I need not
state, that I had had the advice of the most celebrated physi
cians in this country; but all the medicines which were tried
did me little or no good. I believe that Mr. Halse was asmuch
surprised as myself and friends, when, at the expiration of a
week, he saw that I could walk, for he did not lead me to be-
lieve that there would be such a rapid improvement. I will
state, that invalids are very much to blame if they do not give
galvanism a trial, for if it does no good, it is impossible it can do
any harm ;:but there is every probability of its doing good, for
during the time I was under Mr. Halse's care, I noticed its
happy effects in a variety of cases, particularly sciatica, rheu-
matism, . asthma, and nervousness; indeed, all his patients
were rapidly regaining their health. I only regret that I had
not applied to him earlier; I should have been many scores of
pounds in pocket had I done so. "GEORGE E. BIGNELL.

Mr. Halle recommends paralytic patients residing in the
country to purchase one of his Ten Gninea Portable Appara-
tuses ; as, with his instructions, they will be enabled to apply
the Galvanism themselves, withouti the least pain, and fully as
effective as he could at his own residence.

Invalids are— solicited to send to Mr. W. H. Halse, of 22,
Brunswick-square, London, for his pamphlet on Medical Gal-
vanism, which will be forwarded free on receipt of two postage
stamns. They will be astonished at its contents. In it will be
found the particulars of such cures in cases of asthma, rheu-
matism, sciatica, tic-doloureux, paralysis, spinal complaints,
headache, deficiency of nervous energy, liver complaints,!general
debility, indigestion, stiff joints, all sorts of nervous disorders,
&c. Mr. Halse's method of applying the galvanicfluid is quite
free from all unpleasant. sensation ; in fact, it is rather plea-
surable than otherwise, and many ladies are exceedingly fond
of it. It quickly causes the patient to do:without medicine.

ITOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.
IX CURE OF RHEUMATISM AND RHEUMATIC

GOUT.
Extract of a Letter from Mr. Thomas Brunton, Landlord of
the Waterloo Tavern, Coatham, Yorkshire, late of the Life
Guards, dated September 24th, 1848.
To Professor HOLLOWAY.
Sir,—For a long time I was a Martyr to Rheumatism and
Rheumatic Gout, and for ten weeks previous to using your me-
dicines I was so bad as not to be able to walk. I bad tried
doctoring and medicines of every kind, but all to no avail, in-
deed I daily got worse, and felt that I must shortly die. From
seeing your remedies advertised in the paper I take in, I thought
I would give them a trial. I did so. I rubbed the Ointment in
as directed, and kept cabbage leaves to the parts thickly spread
with it, and took the Pills night and morning. In three weeks
I was enabled to walk about for an hour or two in the day with
a stick, and in seven weeks I could go any where without one.
I am now, by the blessing. of God and your medicines, quite
well, and have been attending to my business for more than
seven months, withdut any symptoms of the return of my old
complaint.
Besides my case of Rheumatic Gout, I have lately had proof
that your Pills and Ointment will heal any old wound or ulcer,
as a married woman, living near me, had had a bad leg for
four years, which no one could cure, and I gave her some of
your Pills and Ointment, which soundly healed it when no-
thing else would do it. For your information I had the honour
to serve my country for twenty-five years in the first regiment
of Life Guards, and was eighteen years a Corporal. I was two
years in the Peninsular War, and was at the Battle of Water-
loo. I was discharged with a pension en the 2d September,
1833. The Commanding Officer at the time, was Colonel Lygon,
who is now a General. I belonged to the troop of Captain the
Honourable Henry Baring.

CURE OF A BAD LEG OF TWENTY-ONE YEAR
STANDING
Extract of a Letter from

Mr. Andrew Brack, Blacksmith, Eye-
mouth, near Berwick, dated the 11th day of August, 1848.

after suffering for twenty-one years with a bad l_o,
yielded to no kind of treatment, although I consulted, at differ-
ent times, every medical man of eminence in this part of the
Country, but all to no purpose. I was frequently unable to
work; and the pain and agony I often endured no one can tell-
My leg is now as sound as ever it was in my life by means of
your Pills and Ointment, which I purchased from Mr. I. Da-
vidson, Druggist, Berwick-upon-Tweed, who knows my case
well, and will, I am sure, be happy to certify with me, if neces-
sary, as to the truth of this wonderful cure.
