JENNY LIND'S VOICE LOZENGES, strongly
recommended to Clergymen, Singers, Public Speakers, and
Actors. These Lozenges were especially prepared for the
private use of Mademoiselle Jenny Lind who has been in the
habit of using them since her arrival in England, and with the
most beneficial result, and on the occasion of her visit to Bir-
mingham on Thursday, the 26th of August, she at once afforded
the Proprietor, Mr. Charles Belton, of 43, High-street, Bir-
mingham, an interview, when after expressing herself in the
highest possible terms of approbation as to their very valuable
properties, and the great relief and comfort she had found from
the use of them, presented to him her autograph certificate,
requesting him to make free use of it, to give the Lozenge her
own name, and to assure the public, on her authority, of the
great advantages to be derived from the constant use of them.

AN Additional and Important Evidence of the
. Salutary Effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC
PILLS, from Mr. Thomas Yates.
5, Albion-road, Stoke Newington Green, 6th Feb.' 1847.
" Sir,—With much pleasure I acquaint you with the benefit
that I have derived by taking Blair's Pills.
" On my journey five weeks since, while at Chepstow, I had
distressing symptoms of an attack of Gout in one foot, and
with the utmost difficulty reached Bristol. By this time the
disease had so much increased that I could not place my foot
on the floor, the swelling being extensive and the pain excru-
ciating. Having often heard of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic
Pills, I immediately sent to Messrs. Ferris and Score, Chemists,
Bristol, for a box, which when I had taken, the pain had wholly
subsided. I continued the pills until I had taken two-and-a-
half boxes more, when to my gratification I was perfectly re-
stored to health, and able to resume my journey.
" I respectfully assure you that I shall recommend this va-
luable medicine to the fullest extent in my power, and never
while travelling shall I in future be without it. During my
illness my residence was at Mrs. Slocombe's, Greyhound Inn,
Broadmead, Bristol, whose family, if requisite, will confirm
the facts I have stated.
" I forward my case to you for publication, that the afflicted
may be assured of and obtain relief.
f=l am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" THOMAS YATES,
"Traveller to Messrs. Day and Martin,
" 97, High Holborn, London.
" To Mr. Pront, 229, Strand, London."
The efficacy of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills is now uni-
versally acknowledged, and for the class of diseases known as
Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sciatica, Tic Doleroux, and all
analogous complaints, comment is unnecessary. The continued
series of testimonials, of such indisputable authority as the
above, renders this one the most popular medicine of the pre-
sent age.
Sold by 'humus PROUT, 229, Strand, London ; and by his
appointment by Wagstaff, Howell, Apothecaries' Company,
