DEAFNESS CURED, AND ALL DISEASES OF

THE EAR.

MR. BENNETT, the eminent AURIST, 28, NORTON-
STRI&ET, Islington, Liverpool, has the honour of an-
nouncing his arrival in Liverpool from Lever-street, Manches •
ter, where, during a Six Months' Visit, 10 persons have been
permanently CURED by him of DEAFNESS, many having
been Deaf from Twenty to Forty Years, to whom those simi-
larly afflicted may be referred. For Lists of Cures performed
there see Manchester and Birmingham Newspapers ; also,
Reports of Cures performed by him.
In cases of a recent nature instantaneous relief is afforded,
without the slightest pain or inconvenience, whilst those of a
more inveterate nature a few weeks suffices to perform a com-
plete and radical cure.
Those afflicted are informed that he may be Consulted at his
Residence, 28, Norton-street, Islington, Liverpool, every day,
Sundays included, from Ten till Five, on all diseases of the Ear.
The infallible success attending his peculiar mode of treatment,
being free from any of those dangerous and experimental ope-
rations usually resorted to, is clearly exemplified by the nu-
merous cures performed by him, not only in Manchester and
Birmingham, above referred to, but in almost every town in
England, France, and America, coupled with the high Testi-
monials, both oral and documentary, from the Faculty, and the
number of persons, still resident in the town, who have been
cured by him, render any further comment unnecessary.
Mr. Bennett's published Works on Diseases of the Ear and
Deafness are admitted by the London and Provincial Press to
be the best extant.
N.B.—Advice gratis to the Poor, on SATURDAYS and MoN-
DAYS, from Half-past Four till Seven in the Evening.

CELEBRATED THROUGHOUT THE GLOBE.
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT
CURE OF FISTULOUS SORES AND PLEURISY.
Extract of a Letter from Mr. Robert Calvert, Chemist, Stokes.
_ ley, dated September 3d, 1847.

To Professor Hollow Av.
SIRS Mr. Thompson, National Schoolmaster of this Town,
desires me to send you the particulars of his Son, who had been
bad for three years and a half, and has received the greatest
benefit by the use of your Pills and Ointment. He is of a scro-
fulous constitution : a pleurisy had left a large collection of
matter in the chest ; this eventually formed a passage through
the wales of the chest, and ended in three fistulous sores which
discharged large quantities of pus, when he was induced to try
your Pills and Ointment ; at this date he was apparently in a
dying condition, the stomach rejected every thing it took.
Your Pillsand Ointment had theeffect of completel ycuring both
the cough and stomach affections, his strength and flesh are
also restored, his appetite keen, and digestion good. There is
every prospect that a little further continuance of your medi-
cines will finish the cure. (Signed) ROBT. CALVERT.
The " Mofussulite" Newspaper, published at Meerut, has, on
the 15th October, 1847, copied an article from the " Benares
Recorder," of which the following is an Extract :
" The Prince Of MAHARAJAH DISSONATH SINGH, who was
temporarily residing at Chittercote, was suddenly taken ill with
Spasmodic Colic, and during his illness His Highness often
asked for Holloway's Pills and Ointment, as he had heard much
of their virtues, but none could be obtained in the neighbour-
hood, and Professor Holloway, no doubt, unfortunately loses a
certificate which would have graced : nd dignified his list of
cures."
The native Princes are now using Holloway's celebrated Pills
and Ointment in preference to every other medicine, they being
so wonderfully efficacious in the cure of diseases in India.
THE TESTIMONY OF A PHYSICIAN IN TIIE CURE OF
SKIN DISEASES.
Copy of a Letter from W. E. Powell. M.D., 16, Blessington-
street, Dublin, dated Fcbrizary 91h, 1847.
DEAR SIR,—Having devoted my attention for some years to
cutaneous or skin diseases, I think it but right to inform you
that I have in various cases recommended the use of your Pills
and Ointment, and invariably found them to have the most
perfect effect in removing those diseases:.
