A PATIENT IN A DYING STATE, CURED-
OF A DIM-

ORDER IN THE CHEST.
Extract of a Letter from Mr. Robert Calvert, Chemist, Stokes-
___

SIR,—Mr. Thoml%:',lsao tne faatni
ounaarf
Schoolmaster of this Town
desires me to send you the particulars respecting
a Son of his,
who had been seriously
ill for th • lee years and a half, and who
has derived the greatest benefit from the use
of your medicines
after trying all ordinary resources wi' out effect. The Boy is
eight years of age, of strumous or serofulous constitution. He
seems to have had a Pleurizy which ended in a large
of matter in the Chest, whit. eventually formed
a passage
through the wales of the Cli • t, which ended in three fistulous
sores, which continued to • scharge large quantities of pus up
to May, when he was in. i ced to try your medicines; at this
date he teas in an apps •nt dying condition, and in the highest
degree of Marasmus ,r Consumption. He had severe hectic
fever, the urine de 1,, siting large quantities of sediment—con-
stant distressing . ugh—no appetite—and the Stomach reject-
ing nearly every ing he took, both food and medicine, he be-
gan by taking five of your Pills night and morning, which were
gradually increased to ten, which in a short timebad the effect
of completely curing the Cough, the Stomach affections, and
restoring the urine to its natural state. His strength and flesh
are also restored, and his appetite keen and digestion good.

STOMACH COMPLAINT.
Extract of a Letter from the Etta of Aldborough, dated Villa
Messina, Leghorn, 21st Februa, y, 1845.
To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY.
Si a,—Various circumstances prevented the possibility of my
thanking you before this time for your politeness in Ecnding
me your pills as you did. I now take this opportunity of send-
ing you an order for the amount, and, at the same time, to add
that your pills have effected a cure of a disorder in my Liver
and Stomach, which all the most eminent of the Faculty at
home, and all over the Continent, had not been able to effect •
nay, not even the waters of Carlsbad and Marienbad. I wish
to have another Box and a Pot of the Ointment, in case any
of my family should ever require either.
Your most obliged and obedient servant,
(Signed) ALDBOROUGH.

NICOLL'S PALETOT, OF LLAMA CLOTH, REG.'D
6 AND 7 VIC., CAP. 65.—Messrs Nicoll, Court Tailors, of
Regent-street and Cornhill, London, have the honour re-
spectfully to announce that MESSRS. DAWBARN AND
SON, of 110, Bold-street, Liverpool, will continue to be
their sole agents for that town, and will have the exclu-
sive sale of this fashionable Coat. Messrs. Nicoll can
most cheerfully recommend this establ': i ment to any of
their patrons residing in its neighbo i ood who may re-
quire, with the Paletot Coats, ei ier Dress or Frock,
Trousers, Waistcoats, &c., MES •S. DAWBARN AND
SON being constantly suppli • i from London with every
improvement in taste and fa- t ion, and more particularly
as the same principles of .usiness for which their own
firm is now well known e maintained by Messrs. Daw-
barn, viz., very moder: prices, combined with every ex-
cellence of material prompt cash payments. Messrs.
N. are well aware t at there are some fashions which have
so little of the en' uring principle in them that they sel-
dom survive the ' uctuations of a single season; others,
which from their intrinsic merit, acquire a firm footing in
public esteem and enjoy a more extensive vogue in pro-
portion as they become known to the public. To the lat-
ter order the Paletot has an undoubted claim, as by its
unassuming, yet gentlemanly appearance may be ascribed
the constant patronage of H. R. H. Prince Albert, Prince
George of Canabridge, His Grace the Duke of Wellington,
and the principal members of the senate, the pulpit, and
the bar. Price of Paletot, rich silk lining, two guineas
and a half; not silk, two guineas. The Paletot D'Ete,
only weighing a few ounces, one guinea. 110, Bold-
street, Liverpool.

The Earl of Clarendon is to arrive in Dublin on Satur-
day next, July 3rd. llis Excellency has appointed the
