11 OCAE OF RIIEUAIATISM AND RHEUMATIC
GOUT.

Extract of a Letter from Ail. Thomas Brunton, Landlord of
tie Waterloo Tavern, Coatham, Yorkshire, late of the Life
Guards, dated September 24th,1848.
To Professor HOLLOWAY.

Sr,—For a long time I was a Martyr to Rheumatism and.
Rheumatic Gout, and for ten weeks previous to using your me-
didnes I was so bad as to b to walk. I had tried
doctoring and medicines of ev kind, bat all to no avail, in-
deed I daily got worse, and f that I must shortly die. From
seeng your remedies adve sed in the paperl take in, I thought
I wiuld give them a trig I did so. I rubbed the Ointment in
as directed, and kep baT,e leaves to the parts thickly spread
wills it, and took,the Pills night and morning. In three weeks
I vas enabled to walk about for an hour or two in the day with
a tick, and in seven weeks I could go any where without one.
I an now, by the blessing of God and your medicines, quite
well, and have been attending to my business for more than
se/en months, without any symptoms of the return of my old
canplaint. . _

Besides my case of Rheumatic Gout, I have lately had proof
tlat your Pills and Ointment will heal any old wound or ulcer,
to a married woman, living near me, had had a bad leg for
fair years, which no one could cure, and I gave her some of
pur Pills and Ointment, which soundly healed it when no-
tling else would do it. For your. information I had the honour
b serve my country for twenty-five years in the first regiment
d Life Guards, and was eighteen years a Corporal. I was two
}tars in the Peninsular War, and was at the Battle of Water-
to. I was discharged with a pension on the 2d September,
833. The Commanding Officer at the time, was Colonel Lygon,
rho is now a General. I belonged to the troop of Captain the
lonourable Henry Baring.

3xtract of a Letter from Mr. Andrew Brack, Blacksmith, E!e.
mouth, near Berwick, dated the 11th day of August, 1848.
ro Professor HOLLOWAY.

Sir,—With pleasure and gratitude I have to inform you that
after suffering for twenty-one years with a bad leg, which
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-
nary, as to the truth of this wonderful cure.

DAKIN'S ROYAL iqZ:ZIP's. PATENT COFFEE.
-oh-lrac,r4h,
DAKIN and COMPANY have much pleasure in
announcing that they have appointed
MR. JOHN PRLEST_LEY,
52, LORD-ST ,
SOLE AGENT F IVERPOOL,
FOR THE SALE OF THE ROYAL PATENT COFFEE.
In announcing this ointment, it will be important to
point out the excelle and advantages of DAKIN'S ROYAL
PATENT COFFE , and for the purpose of doing so with bre-
vity, the followi copy of a certificate of Mr. Alfred S. Taylor
and Mr. Arth r Aikin, the great authorities on Chemistry,
Medical Jurisprudence, and the Sanatory Question, may suffice :
" We hereby certify that we have chemically examined
four varieties of Coffee, namely, best Mocha, Jamaica, Very
Fine and Good Plantation (Ceylon) Coffee, both in the raw state
and as prepared and roasted by the Patent Process of Messrs.
Dakin. We have likewise chemically examined samples of the
same varieties of Coffee, roasted at the same time in the usual
way ; and the result of this examination is, that in delicacy
of flavour, odour, and as an article of diet, the Coffee prepared
by Messrs. Dakin's process is, in our judgment, superior to that
prepared in the ordinary way.

- "'We have also examined the apparatus used by Messrs.
Dakin for roasting Coffee, and we find that all the surfaces with
which the Coffee comes in contact during this process are of
Silver. We find also that great care is taken so to regulate the
degree of heat and the mode of its application, as to render
necessary a longer time and lower temperature to effect the
• .

roasting, whereby all risk of charring the berry, or producing
empyreumatic oil, is prevented, the separation of acid vapour
is more gradual and complete, and a larger portion of aroma is
retained than occurs in the usual methods of Coffee roasting.
"The process of Messrs. Dakin appears to us, therefore, in a
chemical view, better adapted than any yet suggested for pro-
curing roasted Coffee in a pure and wholesome form.

It is with feelings of gratitude that I inform you of the won-

you.
My wife had been suffering the most excruciating; agony for

minutes after the application she was quite cured.

Gentlemen,
After six months' experience in its sale I have found your
"Astilian Tincture" to be all but uniformly successful in the
cure ofTic-Doloreux and Toothache; indeed only one case of
failure do I know of in that time. Although generally averse to
such things, yet you may, if you choose, make public use of
this. I remain, yours, faithfully,

-
The advantages of this Ship LightLIVERPOOL are, first, that it combines
in one lantern all the distinctness and designating colours at-
tained by three separate Lamps on the usual plan. Secondly,
that having one bright colourless light in front, and two varied
coloured lights (one at each side), and placed diagonally with
the other, the real position of an approaching Ship may be
readily determined by the spectator on board of another vessel.
Thirdly, it is superior to any single Lantern hitherto in use, as
affording due warning whether the vessel is coming bow on, or
whether her starboard or her port bow is nearest. Fourthly,
this Lantern, in cost and lighting, though strongly made and
glazed in the best manner, is cheaper than the ordinary Ship
Lantern. •
