RUPTURE.

COLES'S PATENT TRUSS is universally admitted
to be the most effectual instrument now in use for the re-
lief and cure of HERNIA. The pads resist the descent of the
Hernia when stooping or coughing. The following opinions
are selected from a list too numerous for insertion in a single
advertisement :
" We are unanimous in the opinion that Mr. Coles has at-
tained such a degree of perfection in the adaptation of Trusses,
that they can be worn almost from the birth, let the species of
reducible rupture be what they may—that they effect a greater
security to the patient, and with considerable less inconvenis
ence than any other Truss."—New London Surgical Pocket-
book—Sherwood and Company.
" This is the only real improvement in the construction of a
truss that ever came under my.inspection."—George Birkbeck,
M.D. John Borthwick Gilchrist, Esq., friend of the doctor's,
gave Mr. Coles a handsome testimonial of his case, in which he
says—" I may add, that this truly scientific discovery justly
entitles the inventor of such an instrument to universal confi-
dence."

"The pressure upon the ring is not merely equalised, but
adjusts itself, without inconvenience to the wearer, to the dif-
ferent attitudes in which the body may be placed."—Wm.
Thos. Brande, Esq., Journal of Science, Literature, and the
Arts, of Royal Institution.
" That mau who has the ingenuity to construct an instru-
ment which is calculated to alleviate so large a portion of human
suffering will ever be considered by me to be a great public
character."—Edmd. Balfour, Secretary Royal College of
Surgeons.

" They make a more uniform pressure on the ring than the
ball-and-socket pad can effect."—Sir A. Cooper, Bart., F.R.S.—
in his Treatise on Hernia.

" The varied positions of the body in stooping and coughing
do not alter the position of the pads, nor displace them."—
Thomas Callaway, Esq., Guy's.
" It is my firm conviction that his trusses will be found more
efficacious than any at present employed."--Henry Earle,
Esq. F.R.S.
" They are the best trusses that have ever yet been got up."
--Aston Key, Esq., Guy's.
" I consider these trusses calculated, beyond every other
truss I have seen, to cure this disease in its earliest and simplest
form."—Gideon Mantell, Esq., F.R.S., 19, Chester-square.

THE GREATEST CURES OF ANY MEDICINE
IN THE GLOBE.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.

AMPUTATION OF TWO LEGS PRE,VENTED.
Extract of a Letter dated Roscommon, February 19th, 1847,
from the highly-respectable Proprietor of the Roscommon
Journal.

Sir,—Mr. Ryan, the well•l:lProprietor of the hotel next
door to me, had two very bad legs, one with eight ulcers on it,
the other with three, they were in such a fearful state that the
effluvia from them was very great. Some time since he made a
.journey to Dublin for the purpose of consulting some of the
most eminent professional men, but returned home to his fa-
mily with the choice of either one of two alternatives—to have
both legs amputated, or die!—On his way home he met a gen-
tleman in the coach who recommended the use of Holloway's
Pills and Ointment, which he had recourse to, and was per-
fectly cured by their means alone.

Editor and Proprietor of the Roscommon Journal.
To Professor Holloway.
A CURE OF A DREADFUL AND DANGEROUS CASE OF
ERYSIPELAS.
In the following remarkable case the lady had been both deaf
and dumb from the virulence of the complaint.
r 19, 1847.
Mrs. Gibbons, of Tivoli-place, CheltenhFebr
am, was forth two years
so dreadfully alllcted with Erysipelas that she became (how-
ever extraordinary it may appear) both blind and deaf, from
the severity of the disease, and (hiring the whole of the time she
was attended by several of the most eminent medical men in
Cheltenham, without receiving any benefit whatever, and, as a
last resource, she tried Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which
in two months perfectly cured the dreadthl complaint, and like-
wise restored her to health.

.....
Mrs. Stovle, the very respectable landlady of the New.
market Inn, Cheltenham,. can bear witness to this cure. It can
also be authenticated at the Stationers, No. 10, Arcade, High-
street, Cheltenham.
In all Diseases of the Skin, Bad Legs, Old Wounds and Ul-
cers, Bad Breasts, Sore Nipples, Stoney and Ulcerated Cancers,
Tumours, Swellin gs , Gout, RI ieumatism, and Lumbago, likewise
in cases of Piles Holloway's Pills, in all the above cases, ought
to be used with the Ointment ; as by this means cures will be
effected with a much greater certainty, and in half the time that
it would require by using the Ointment alone. The Ointment
is proved to be a certain remedy for the bite of Moschettoes,
Sand-flies, Chiegofoot, Yaws, and Coco bay, and ail Skin Dis-
eases common to the East and West Indies, and other tropical
climates.
Burns, Scalds, Chilblains, Chapped Hands and Lips, also
Bunions and Soft Corns, will be immediately cured by the use
of the Ointment.
