HEALTH RESTORED ! !—HOLLOWAY'S
PILLS.
AN ASTONISHING CURE OF CHRONIC RHEUMATISM,
AFTER BRING DISCHARGED FROM THE HOSPITAL INCURA-
BLE.—Copy of a letter from Mr. W. Moon, of the Square,
Winchester To Professor Holloway.—Sir' —I beg to in-
form you that for years I was a sufferer from Chronic
Rheumatism, and was often laid up for weeks together by
its severe and painful attacks. I tried every thing that was
recommended, and was attended by one of the moat eminent
Surgeos in this town, but obtained no relief whatevr and
fearing that my health would be entirely broken up, e
I' was
induced to go into our County Hospital, where I had the best
medical treatment the institution afforded, all of which
proved of no avail, and I came out no better than I went in.
I was then advised to use your Pills, and by persevering with
them was perfectly cured, and enabled to resume my occupa.
tion ; and although a considerable period has elapsed, I have
felt no return whatever of the complaint.—l am, Sir, &c.,
" Oct. Bth, 1852." (Signed) " W. Moor/.
A PERMANENT CURB OF A DISEASED LIVER, OF MANY
YEARS' DURATION.—COrIy of a letter from Mr. Gamis, che-
mist, Yeovil, to Professor Holloway :—" Dear Sir,—ln this
district your Pills command a more extensive sale than any
other proprietary medicine before the public. As a proof of
their efficacy in bilious and liver complaints, I may mention
the following case. A lady of this town, with whom I am
personally acquainted, for years was a severe sufferer from
disease of the liver and digestive organs. Her medical at-
tendant assured her that he could do nothing to relieve her
sufferings, and it was not likely she could survive many
months. This announcement naturally caused great alarm
among her friends and relations, and they induced her to
make a trial of your Pills, which so improved her general
health that she was induced to continue them until she re-
ceived a perfect cure. This is twelve months ago, and she
has not experienced any symptoms of relapse, and often de-
clares that your Pills have been the means of saving her life.
—I remain, dear Sir, yours truly,
" Nov. 23rd. 1852." (Signed) " J. GAMIS.
AN EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF DROPSY, AFTER SUFFER-
INO FOR EIGHTEEN MONTHS.—COpy of a letter from Mr. G.
Briggs, chemist, Goole, dated Feb. 15, 1853 :—" To Professor
Holloway.—Sir,-1 have much pleasure in informing you of
a most surprising cure of dropsy, recently effected by your
valuable medicines. Capt. Jackson, of this place, was afflicted
with dropsy. for upwards of 18 months, to such an extent that
it caused his body and limbs to be much swollen, and water
oozed as it were from his skin, so that a daily change of ap-
parel became necessary. Notwithstanding the various reme-
dies tried, and the different medical men consulted, all was
of no avail, until he commenced using your Pills, by which,
and a strict attention to the printed directions, he was effec-
tually cured, and his health perfectly re-established. If you
deem this worthy of publicity, you are at liberty to use it.—
am, Sir, yours respectfully, (Signed) "G. BRIGGS."
