DEAFNESS CURED, AND ALL DISEASES OF

THE EAR. ,
MR. BENNETT, the eminent AURIST, 28, NORTON-
STRI,RT, Islington; Liverpool, has the honour of an-
nouncing his arrival in Liverpool from Lever-street, Manches•
ter, where, during a Six Months' Visit, 160 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,
c"ereerete.
Reports of Cures performed by him. --
In cases of a recent nature insta neous relief is afforded,
without the slightest pain or in venience, whilst those of a
more inveterate nature a few ks suffices to perform a com-
plete and radical cure.
Those afflicted are info ed that he may be Consulted at his
Residence, 28, Norton reel, Islington, Liverpool, every day,
Sundays included, fr Ten till Five, on all diseases of the Ear.
The infallible suc ss 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. _ _ ...

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.
11 CURE OF FISTULOUS SORES AND PLEURISY.
Extract of a Letter from Mr. Robert Calvert, Chemist, Stokes-
ley, dated September 3d, 1847.
To Professor HOLLOWAY.
SIR,—Mr. Thompson, National School .ster of this Town,
desires me to send you the particulars s As Son, who had been
bad for three years and a half, an. ms received the greatest
benefit by the use of your Pills an . • intment. He is of a scro- ,
fulous constitution : a pleurisy ad left a large collection of
matter in the chest ; this eve . ally formed a passage through
the wales of the chest, and e led in three fistulous sores which
discharged large quantitie- of pus, when he was induced to try
your Pills and Ointment at this date he was apparently in a
dying condition, the • omach rejected every thing it took.
Your Pills and Ointm • t had the effect 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. CALA, ERT.
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 BISSONATH 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 t.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.
