HONORARY TESTIMONIAL TO PROFESSOR

LIEBIG.
THE Retirement of BARON LIEBIG from his
duties as Professor of Chemistry in the University of
Giessen, appears to several of his friends in this country to
afford a fitting opportunity of presenting him with a Testimo-
nial in acknowledgment of his eminent scientific services. No
one lies contributed in a higher degree to the prodigious ad-
vance which has taken place in chemical science during the
last twenty years, both, by publishing a series of original dis-
coveries of great value, and by educating, in the Laboratory of
Giessen, a numerous body of pupils animated by his enthusiasm,
who have carried the light of their multiplied investigations
into every department of the science. By the direction of che-
mical inquiry to physiology and agriculture, he has also ex-
ercised a powerful influence in the advancement of these sciences,
and in widening the circle of their enlightened and successful
cultivators. The impulse given by his writings and teaching
to the progress of chemistry has been most profoundly felt in
England. Equally, therefore, as a philosopher, as a great
teacher of chemistry, and as a promoter of improvement in
agriculture and the useful arts, has Liebig merited the appro-
bation and gratitude of his contemporaries. ----
„
A Committee has accordingly been formed, Vith the view of
promoting a Subscription, by the pupilsefriends, and admirers
of Liebig in this country, for the purpose of presenting an Ho-
norary Testimonial to him, on his-teri-ing from his Professor-
ship at Giessen, and removal' to" Munich.

Copy of a Letter from Mr. Thompson, Chemist, Liverpool,
dated August 20th, 1852.
To Professor HOLLOWAY,—IIear Sir,—l enabled to fur-
nish you with a most extraordinary curatifrected by your inva-
luable Ointment and Pills, which has' astonished every person
acquainted with the sufferer. bout ten years ago, Mr. W.
Cnmmins, of Saltney-stree • this town, was thrown from his
horse, whereby he receiy very serious injuries; he had the
best medical advice at/the time, and was afterwards an inmate
of different infirmaries, yet he grew worse, and at length a ma-
lignant running ulcer settled in his hip, which so completely
crippled him, that lie could not move without crutches for
nearly ten. years; recently he began to use your Ointment anti
Pills, which have now healed the wound, strengthened his
limb, and enabled him to dispense with his crutches, so that
he can walk with the greatest ease, and with renewed health
and vigour. J. THOMPSON.

To Professor HoLLowax,—Sir,—Some time since, one of my
children was afflicted with dreadful eruptions over the body
and limbs. 1 obtained the advice of several eminent surgeons
and physicians, by all of whom the case was considered hope-
less. At length I tried your Ointment and Pills, and without
exaggeration, the effect was miraculous, for by persevering in
their use, all the eruptions quickly disappeared, and the and.

a similar complaint,erfect health

your medicines, she would have been saved also. I shall be
