This excellent Medicine,' so univ ally esteemed, is unat-
tended with the least danger or in nvenience ; hundreds have
experienced its happy and sal ry effects since it was first
introduced; and such are t properties of this invaluable
Specific that persons labo ng under the most distressing
aheumatism, Rheumati out, and Lumbago, and rendered
thereby incapable of isting themselves, have been relieved
in a few hours.

Fai The astonishin cess which has crowned the application
of this external icine in the most hopeless and deplorable
cases, when the nhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining
even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every
other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the
attention of the afflicted.

Sr n,—l feel in duty bound to acknowledge, that after suffer.-
ing acute pains from Sciatica, or severe Rheumatic affection it
the hip-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-
though two years have passed, I have no return of the disorder.
—I am, Sir, gratefully yours, EDWARD NOYRS.

Well-street, Cripplegate,

SIR,—I have been several weeks confined to my 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 xnown to me, or I might
have been to this day 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.

Morley's Hotel, Strand, 13th August, 1846

have hitherto had a prejudice against haN;ingi•ecourse
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 watch was, from its
novelty;the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom
rom DRI/1. The number of poor souls that suffer as I have is
immense, and if the publication of this testimony can induce
one to accept of the salvation you offer' I shall feel that I have
not lived in vain.—With many thanks, I am yours,
HENRI VILLENNEVE.

A FORTUNATE PURCHASE.—It was only very lately
that a gentleman journeying to the north stopped for a
day at a provincial town where he heard a bellman an-
nounce the sale of some books that day in the market-
place : he gave no further thought to it, but chance led
him subsequently to the very spot where the auctioneer,
with a few scores of books on a table before him, was do-
ing his very best to coax the rustic crowd of idlers around
him to purchase them. There was nothing in their out-
ward appearance to recommend them, for they were very
time-stained and rusty old-looking volumes ; but, as the
stranger was passing by, a lot of five books was on the
point of being knocked down for half-a-crown; he bid,
from the mere fun of the thing, another sixpence, the
hammer instantly fell, and he bore off with him, the rub-
bish, as it seemed, to his inn, at the cost of ree shil-
lings, and for which he was offered in London a few weeks
afterwards thirty pounds. He subsequently ascertained
that, if he had bought the whole of the lots when they
were first placed on the table, he would have realised very
nearly one thousand pounds by his bargain. They had,
in fact, been purchased many generations since by a family
in the town, once of great opulence; but which, in the
course of time, had died off, and the property by degrees
had glided away, until a widow alone was left with very
straitened means; and it was the clearing out, at death,
of the rubbish of the old and dilapidated house she had
so long lived in, that supplied the traveller with his so
cheaply acquired treasures.—church of Engl'uJ quar-
