These Pills, so long and justly celebrated for their peculiar
virtues, are strongly recommended to the notice of every lady,
having obtained the sanction and approbation of most gentle-
men of the Medical profession, as a safe and valuable medicine
in effectually removing obstructions, and relieving all other
inconveniences to which the female frame is liable, especially
those which, at an early period of life, frequently arise from
want of exercise and general debility of the system. They
create an appetite, correct indigestion, remove giddiness and
nervous headache, and are eminently useful in windy disor2ers,
pains in the stomach, shortness of breath, and palpitation of
the heart ; being perfectly innocent, may be used with safety
in all seasons and climates.

It is necessary,-owing to the numerous imitations, to inform
the public that Kearsley's is the only original and genuine me-
dicine of this description ever made, and has been prepared by
them for more than fifty years ! Purchasers are particularly
requested to remark, that, as a testimony of authenticity, each
bill of directions contains an affidavit, and bears the signature
of "C. Kearsley" in writing, also engraved on the government
stamp ; and each box is wrapped in white paper.
Sold, wholesale and retail, by J. SANGER, 150, Oxford-
street, London, price 2s. 9d. per box •, and by Messrs. Carter,

That the provisions of the new A eAmerican Congress
to regulate the Carriage of P- gers in Merchant Vessels, (of
which the first positive i igence reached this country by the

case of Shipowne ud other parties who had entered into en-
gagements for Carriage of Passengers to the United States
in ignorance it.
(o
se
Moved Mr. W. J. LAM roar, (Lamport and Holt,)
conded hy Ir. T. D. ANDERSON, (Glen and Anderson,) and
carried unanimously,
That a Memorial be prepared for presentation to Lord Pal-
merston, praying that her Majesty's Minister at 'Washington
be instructed to make such representations to the United
States Government as may have the effect of allowing all en-
gagements entered into in ignorance of the new act to be ful-
filled, without rendering the Shipowners liable to any of the
penalties imposed by it; and that three gentlemen be requested
to proceed to London as a Deputation to present the Memorial.
In compliance with the above Resolutions, the following_Me-
morial has been drawn up, and Mr. J. Miller, Mr. W. R. Coal-
born, and Mr. Anderson, were appointed to form the Depu-
tation :
To the Right Hon. Viscount Palmerston, her llfajesty's
Principal Secretor?, of State for Foreign Affairs.
The Memorial of tke undersigned Shipowners and other Parties
concerned in the Carriage of Passengers fioni Liverpool to
the United States of America,
Showcth,—That, on the arrival of the steamer Hiberni4
from the United States, on the 15th instant, your Memorialist s
had the first official intimation of the enactment of a New Law
by the Congress of the United States of Americr, to regulate
the Carriage of Passengers in Merchant Vessels.
That, independent of other enactments, the effect of the sa:d
Act is to reduce the number of Passergers each Vessel is al-
lowed to bring into Ports of the United States, in proportion to
her tonnage and space • and its provisions, though some doubts
exist as to the interpretation of the Act, are generally consi-
dered to apply to all ships from Europe arriving in United
States Ports, after the 31st of May proximo.
That, in ignorance of the said Act, your Memorialists have.
made numerous engagements for the carriage of Emigrant
Passengers to United States Forts, the number engaged for
each Ship, (though in accordance with the provisions of the
then and still existing Act of Congress,) being, in every.in-
stance, considerably more than will be permitted by the new.
Act.
That, of all the ships so circumstanced, some are already at
sea, while others are on the point of sailing, with their full
complement of passengers engaged.
That, should the winds be unfavourable, these ships may not
arrive at their destinatson before the 31st of May, and your
Memorialists and their Masters may hence be rendered liable
to the confiscation, fines, and imprisonments imposed by the.
new Act in cases of infraction of its regulations.
That, even should your Memorialists escape the extreme pe-
nalties of the Act, they are apprehensive that their ships will be
subject to detention while each case is being inquired into, and
being considered by the authorities at Washington, which, in,
itself, will amount to the severest penalty.
Your Memorialists would, therefore, earnestly pray your
Lordship to cause such representations to be made to the Go-
vernment of the United States on this subject as may have
the effect of enabling
.your Memorialists to fulfil all engage-
ments entered into prior to their knowledge of the new law,
without subjecting them to its penalties or the detention of
their ships in consequence of infractions of its provisions,
committed in ignorance of its existence.
Which your Memorialists respectfully submit. •

THE GREATEST CURES OF ANY MEDICINE
IN THE GLOBE.
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.
AMPUTATION OF TWO LEGS PREVENTED.
Extract of a Letter dated Roscommon, February 19th, 1847,
from the highly-respectable Proprietor of the Roscommon
Journal.
Sir,—Mr. Ryan, the well-known proprietor of the hotel next
door to me, had two very bad legs ith _eight ulcers on it,
the other with three, they wer such a fearful state that the
effluvia from them was v eat. Some time since he made a
journey to Dublin fo e purpose of consulting some of the
most eminent prof tonal men, but returned home to his fa-
mily with the choice of either one of two alternatives—to have
both legs amputated, or die!—On his way home he met a gen-
tleman in.the coach who recommended the use of Holloway's
Pills and Ointment, which he had recourse to, and was per-
fectly cured by their means alone.
(Signed) CHARLES TULLY,
Editor and Proprietor of the Roscommon Journal,
To Professor Holloway.
A CURE OF A DREADFUL AND DANGEROUS CASE OF
ERYSI PELAS.
In the following remarkable case the lady bad been both deaf
and dumb from the virulence of the complaint.
February 19th, 1847.
Mrs. Gibbons. of Tivoli-place, Cheltenham, was for two years
so dreadfully afil!cted with Erysipelas that she became (how-
ever extraordinary it may appear) both blind and deaf, from
the severity of the disease, and during the whole of the time she
was attended by several of the most eminent medical men in
Cheltenham, without receiving any benefit whatever, and, as a
last resource, she tried Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which
in two months perfectly cured the dreadful complaint, and like-
wise restored her to health.

tl Mrs. Stoyle, the very respectable landlady of the New-
market Inn, Cheltenham, can bear witness to this cure. It can
also be authenticated at the Stationers, No. 10, Arcade, High-
street,Cheltenham.

In all Diseases of the Skin, Bad Legs, Old Wounds and
Ul-
cers, Bad Breasts, Sore Nipples, Stoney and Ulcerated Cancers,
Tumours, Swelli no''s, Gout, Rheumatism and Lumbago, likewise
in cases of Piles •,Holloway's Pills, in all the above cases, ought
to be used with the Ointment ; as by this means cures Will he
effected with a much greater certainty, and in half the time that
It would require by using the Ointment alone. The Ointment
is proved to be a certain remedy for the bite of Illoschettoes,
Sand-flies, Chiegcroot, Yaws, and Coco bay, and all Skin Dis-
eases common to the Last and West Indies, and other tropical
climates.
Burns, Scalds, Chilblains, Chapped Hands and Lips, also
Bunions and Soft Corns, will be immediately curedbyedthiecinnsees
of the Ointment.
