PAINS IN THE BACK, GRAVEL,
LUMBAGO, RHEUMATISM, GOUT, HEADACHE,
NERVOUSNESS, DEBILITY, &c.—DR.DEROOS'
COMPOUND RENAL PILLS (astheirnameßenal,
or the Kidneys, indicates) have been long established as a
most safe and efficacious remedy for the above dangerous
complaints, Discharges of any kind, and Diseases of the Kid-
neys, &c., which, if neglected, frequently end in a lingering
Painful death. For Depression of Spirits, Excitement, Dis-
like of Society, incapacity for Study or Business, Loss of
Memory, Contusion, Giddiness, Blood to the Head, Drowsi-
ness, Sleep without refreshment, Nervousness, and even In-
sanity itself, they are unequalled. Possessing tonic proper-
ties, they agree with :the most delicate stomach, strengthen
the digestive organs, increase the appetite, and improve the
general health. They require neither confinement nor change
of diet, and, as experience has amply proved, they will effect
a cure when mercuryand all other dangerous medicines have
failed. One Trial will convince the most sceptical of their
surprising properties.

done wonders with me and others to whom I have recom

• J. Murphy, 70, Upper Sterin-street, Dublin.—" I never met
the like of them before, they are really a surprising medicine."
T. Webster, Esq.,Sealford, Melton Mowbray.—" Your valu-
able Renal Pills have done good to every one I gave them to."

Mr. Thos. Williams, at Mr. Hutchings, baker, King-street,
Chelsea.—" I was persuaded to try your most beautiful Pills,
and am happy to inform you I have received more benefit
from tbemthan from any of the medical men in London."

W. Chartres, Esq., Newport. Mayo.—" I have a degree of
mental energy and vigour such as I did not feel these two
years. My memory is wonderfully improved, so that I can
ecollect all the events of each day with the greatest degree of
clearness. It is astonishing how I got out of such awful suf-
ferings, but I think I we it altogether to the use of your Pills."
PERSONS GOING ABROAD, CAPTAINS and OTHERS,
cannot store more important articles of health than the above,
which, by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, and tranquil-
lizing the Nervous System, will prevent those fatal diseases so
prevalent abroad, as also Sea Sickness and other complaints
incidental to long voyages and irregular living. No Emi-
grant's Chest can be properly furnished without them, for
when far removed from medical aid, they will find in these
Pills a never-failing restorative.

IMPORTANT.—Some unprincipled Vendors, when asked for
Dr. Ds Roos' PILLS, have:attempted to foist upon the public
other Medicines or trash of their own compounding, from
which they obtain a larger profit. The GENUINE have the
words, " WALTER DE 11.00 S, LONDON," in white letters
on a red ground, printed in the Stamp affixed to each box;
by special direction of Her Majesty's Honourable Commis-
sioners, to protect the Public from Fraud, and to imitate
which is felony.

May be obtained through all Medicine Vendors, at Is. lid.,
2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., Ils., and 335. per Box, with full directions
for use; or by enclosing Post-office Order or Stamps to Dr.
DE ROOS, 35, ELY-PLACE, HOLBORN-HILL, LONDON,
they will be sent per return. At home for consultation daily
from II till 4, Sunday excepted. Advice and Medicines

WOOLLEY'S PECTORAL CANDY.-
PATRONISED BY THE FACULTY.
The rapidly-increasing sale of this invaluable Medicine is a
convincing proof of its efficacy. The Proprietor can confi-
dently recommend it in all cases of Coughs, Sore Throats,
Hoarseness, Loss of Voice, and Weakness of the Chest and
Lungs, as well as for the relief and ultimate cure of long-
standing Asthmatic Affections, which have offered resistance
to the most approved remedies. Being entirely free froth all
noxious ingredients, and beneficial to the system generally, it
may be taken by persons of all ages with perfect safety; for
whilst powerful to heal and give relief to the chest and throat,
and to subdue and eradicate cough, its tendency is to cool and
purify the blood.
The following are a few of the many thousand cures yearly
Veffected by WOOLLEY'S PECTORAL CANDY:—
Surprising Cure of a Cough of seven years' duration, alter
the best medical advice had failed.—Plymouth, Foundry,
Plymouth, Devon, March 22, 1850.—T0 Mr. Woolley,—
`Sir,—l think it a duty I owe to yourself and the public to
inform you of the great benefit I have derived from your Pec-
toral Candy. I have been troubled with a severe cough for
the last seven years, and although I have had the best
medical advice, I could obtain no permanent relief, until I
fortunately tried your Candy, and after taking two small
boxes, I find myself free from cough. You have my permis-
sion to give publicity to this statement.—l am, sir, yours, B:c.,
JOHN EDMOND MAKE.
Cure of a Cough of four years' standarg.—Chatham,
April 18th, 1850. —To Mr. Woolley,—Dear Sir,—Mrs.
Chiseman, of Garden-street, Brompton, has been cured of
a cough of four years' standing. by taking one box of your
Pectoral Candy, and is desirous of expressing her gratitude,
in order that others similarly afflicted may obtain the same
benefit. Please send me three dozen of the large boxes for
her brother to take out to the Mauritius with him next week.
I can also add my testimony that, from the many cases I
ive seen of its decided efficacy, I am persuaded it stands
aurivalled as a general cough medicine.—Yours truly,
HENRY WATTS, Chemist. Chatham.
Extraordinary Cure of a case of Asthma of ten years'
duration.—Redditcli, Worcestershire, March 17th, 1851.
Sir,—l have the pleasure of informing you of the cure of a
sister of mine of Asthma of ten years' duration, by your Pec-
toral Candy.—l am, yours truly,
JAMES DimaiNS. Temperance Hotel.
N. 8.—1 could tell you of another cure, but the person
said he should write to you himself. This was the person
who recommended it to my sister.
The following very flattering recommendation from an
M.D., (dated Sept. 81h, 1852.) needs no comment :—I feel
a pleasure in recommending Woollev's Pectoral Candy, in
pulmonary complaints, influenza, coughs, colds, asthma,
and affections of the chest.—G. C. KERNOT, Chrisp-
street, Poplar New Town, London.

CURE OF ASTHMA, CONSUMPTION, COUGHS, COLDS, AND

INSURED BY DR. LOCOCK'S PULMONIC WAFERS. The
most wonderful CURES of ASTHMA and CONSUMPTION,
COUGHS, COLDS, and all Disorders of the BREATH and
LUNGS, are ioerformed by this extraordinary remedy.
ANOTHER CURE OF CONSUMPTIVE COUGH.—Extract of
a letter from Mr. Thomas Dean, 150, Scotland-road, Liver-
pool.—Gentlemen,—l have great pleasure in communicating
to you a case (among many) which came under my own
observation. A lady, who I can refer to, in her assiduous
attendance upon her husband during a long and fatal illness,
caught cold, and not having taken care of herself, it settled
upon her lungs. She was troubled with a dreadful cough,
and every symptom of consumption. She applied to her
medical man, but did not obtain any relief; when, upon the
recommendat on of a friend, she tried Dr. Locock's Wafers,
which, from the commencement, eased her cough, and by
continuing them she is perfectly cured. THOMAS DEAN.
ANOTHER CURE OF COUGH AND HOARSENESS.—Parlia-
ment-street, Liverpool.—Sir,—lt is with much pleasure I bear
testimony to the extraordinary power of Locock's Wafers. I
had been troubled with a cough and hoarseness for nearly
two years, without relief, when I was induced to try Locock's
Wafers, the effects of which were soon visible, for one large
box (2s. 9d.) has quite cured me. I have since recommended
them to several of my friends, and they have experienced the
greatest relief from them.—Yours, gratefully, J. WILLIAMS.
IMPORTANT TO ALL WHO SING.—From S. Pearsall, Esq.,
Her Majesty's Concerts, and Vicar Choral of Lichfield
Cathedral. Lichfield.—Gentlemen,—A lady of distinction,
having pointed out to me the qualities of Dr. Locock's Wafers,
I was induced to make a trial of a box, and from this trial I
am happy to give my testimonial in their favour. I find by
allowing a few of the Wafers (taken in the course of the day)
to gradually dissolve in the mouth, my voice becomes bright
and clear, and the tone full and distinct. They are decidedly
the most efficacious of any I have ever used. S. PEARSALL.
To S NG Elt S and PUBLIC SPEAKERS they are invaluable, as
in a few hours they remove all hoarseness, and increase the
power and flexibility of the voice. They have a pleasant taste.
