ble constraint or impediment to exercise. To Young Persons

The astonishing success which has crowned the application
of this external Medicine in the .most hopeless and deplorable
cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining
even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every
ether means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the
attention of the afflicted.
This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is unat-
tended with the least danger or inconvenience; hundreds have
experienced its happy and •salutary effects since it was first
introduced; and •such are the properties of this invaluable
Specific that persons labouring under the most distressing
Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Lumbago, and rendered
thereby incapable of assisting themselves, have been relieved
in a few hours.
Amongst many which are being daily received are thefollow-
ing testimonials :
Well-street, Cripplegate.
have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout
.and Rheumatism, not a part from my head to my feet free from
'pain, and as helpless as an infant : not even a finger could I
move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me-
dical attendant he had. applied all the .usual remedies, and that
I might remain months in my deplorable situation-
Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I might
have been to this (lay confined to my bed. After a close appli-
cation of four days, my troublesome companion began to dis-
-appear ; in a week I was capable of walking about my room,
and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi-
cine was enabled to leave London. Fearful -of another attack,
you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedient
servant,— D. W. STONE.

Morlei,'s Hotel. Streind, 18th August, 1846.
SIR, --11 have hitherto hada prejudice against havingrecourse
to advertised medicines, but as I have for years been a severe
sufferer from Lumbago, as well as Sciatica, and -having tried
several of the most eminent Physicians of London and Paris, I
was induced by a friend to make a trial.of your liquid, called
'•` Serjeant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude due to you to say,
in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion, I felt
-the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate
.effect was to produce a short but tranquil and most refreshing
slumber, from which I awoke to enjoy that which was, from its
novelty, the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom
from pain. The number of poor sonls that suffer as I have is
immense, and if the publication of this testimony can induce
one to accept of the salvation you offer,l shall feel that I have
not lived in. vain.—With many thanks, I am yours,
HENRI VILLENNEVE.

14, Belmont-place, Wandsworth-road, Oct. 26, 1844.
SIR,—I feel in duty bound to acknowledge, that after suffer-
ing acute pains from Sciatica, or severe Rheumatic affection in
-the tip-joint, and being deprived of rest, I was persuaded to
-try your embrocation, and have the pleasure to say that after
'three applications I was restored to my usual health ; and, al-
-thoug'h two years have passed, I have no return of the disorder.
---I am, Sir, gratefully yours, EDWARD NOYES.

4. Paternoster-1'o•..
usia,—Haying been informed of tne surprising cure of Mr.
'Barnes, of St. Paul's Churcbyard, who was so .severely afflicted
by Rheumatism, the intense pain causing delirium, that he was
compelled to be confined by a strait waistcoat to prevent his
committing any violence, and whose case was considered en-
tirely hopeless, I was induced to ascertain the particulars, and
being satisfied of the truth of my inrormation, encouraged me
to make a trial of your most invaluable Medicine, entertaining
little hopes of success, having been many years so severe a suf-
ferer, and tried many said to be very valuable remedies. lam
Very happy in being able to add my testimony of the benefit
I derived: after a few days' application the use of my -limbs are
perfectly restored, and I am now able to attend my business,
and, making an allowance for my age, neverfwas better in my
life. To those. however severely afflicted and hopeless their
cue may have been pronounced, I beg of them to make a trial,
feeling quite satisfied they will be restored to the use of their
limbs, from the severe cases that have yielded to this Medicine.
Health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, but to
those Who are deprived, none feels it so severely as the trades-
man or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of business, and
brings ruin on families. I shall at all times feel it my duty to
make it 'known to those afflicted, to evince how grateful I am
for my restoration, and am, Sir, yours truly,

A PATIENT IN A DYING STATE, CURED OF A DIS-
ORDER IN THE CHEST.
• Extract of a Letter from Mr. Robert Calvert, Chemist, Stokes-
ly, dated January 29th, 1847.
Sta,—Mr. Thom Q,son, National Schoolmaster of this Town
.desires me to send you the particulars respecting a Son of his,
-who had been seriously ill for three years and a half, and who
• ,has derived the greatest benefit from the use of your medicines,
:after trying all ordinary resources without effect. The Boy is
eight years of age, of strumous or scrofulous constitution. He
_seems to have had a Pleurizy which ended in a large collection
of matter in the Chest, which eventually formed a passage
ihrough the wales of the Chest, which ended in three fistulous
sores, which continued to discharge large quantities of pus up
.to ?slay, when he was induced to try your medicines; at this
date ,he vas in an apparent dying condition, and in tke highest
deerge.of Marasmus or Consumption. He had severe hectis
fever, the urine depositing large quantities of sediment—Con-
stant distressing cough—no appetite—and the Stomach reject-
, ing nearly every thing 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 time had 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.

me your pills as you did. I now take this opportunity of send-

that ur pills have effected a cure of a disorder in my Liver
