HEALTH RESTORED! !-HOLLOWAY'S
PILLS.

AN ASTONISHING CURI3OiCHRONIC RHEUMATISM,
AFTER BEING DISCHARGED FROM THE HOSPITAL INCURA-
BLE.—Copy of a letter from Mr. W. Moon, of the Square,
Winchester :—" To Professor Holloway.—Sir,—l beg to in-
form you that for years I was a sufferer from Chronic
Rheumatism, and was often laid up for weeks together by
its severe and painful attacks. ,I tried" every thing that was
recommended, and was attended by one of the most eminent
Surgeons in this town, but obtained n 6 relief whatever, and
fearing that my health would be entirely broken up. I was
induced to go into our County Hospital, where I had the best
medical treatment the institution afforded, all of which
proved of no avail, and I came out no better than I went in.
I was then advised to use your Pills, and by persevering with
them was perfectly cured, and enabled to resume my occupa.
tion ; and although a considerable period has elapsed, I have
felt no return whatever of the complaint.—l am, Sir, Sec.,
" Oct. Bth, 1852." (Signed) " W. MOON.
A PERMANENT CURE OF A DISEASED LIVER, OF MANY
YEARS' DURATION.—COpy of a letter from Mr. Gamis, che-
mist, Yeovil, to Professor Holloway :—" Dear Sir,—ln this
district your Pills command a more extensive sale than any
otber proprietary medicine before the public. As a proof of
their efficacy ill bilious and liver complaints, I may mention
the following case. A lady of this town, witk whom 1 am
personally acquainted, for years was a severe sufferer from
disease of the liver and digestive organs. Her medical at-
endant assured her that he could do nothing to relieve her
sufferings, and it was not likely she could survive many
months. This announcement naturally caused great alarm
among her friends and relations, and they induced her to
make a trial of your Pills, which so improved her general
health that she was induced to continue them until she re-
ceived a perfect cure. This is twelve months ago, and she
has not experienced any symptoms of relapse, and often de-
clares that your Pills have been the means of saving her life.
I remain, dear Sir, you'l% truly,
" Nov. 33rd, 1852." (Signed) " J. GAMIS.
AN EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF DROPSY, AFTER SUFFER-
ING FOR EIGHTEEN MONTHS.—COpy of a letter from Mr. G.
Briggs, chemist, Goole, dated Feb, 15, 1853 :—" To Professor
Holloway.—Sir,—I have much pleasure in informing you of
a most surprising cure of dropsy, recently effected by your
valuable medicines. Capt. Jackson, of this place, was afflicted
with dropsy for upwards of 18 mokths, to such an extent that
it caused his body and limbs to bp much swollen, and water
oozed as it were from his skin, so that a daily change of ap-
parel became necessary. Notwithstanding the various reme-
dies tried, and the different medical men consulted, all was
of no avail, until he commenced ueng your Pills, by which,
and a strict attention to the printed ilrections, be was effec-
tually cured, and his health perfettly re-established. If you
deem this worthy of publicity, yqu are at liberty to use it.—
I am, Sir, yours respectfully, (Signed). "G. BRloas."

Dr: DE ROOS' PILULFE VITA, a VEGETABLE LIFE
PILLS. A universal Restorative for both Sexes and all Ages,
concocted solely from the VEGETABLE kingdom; they may
be administered to the youngest Child, or to the most delicate
Invalid, by merely regulating the dose according to the age
and strength of the person. They remove all Disorders and
Pains in the Stomach and Bowels, as Costiveness, Spasms,
Loss of Appetite, Sick Headache, Fulness after Meals Indi-
gestion, Liver Complaints, Inactivity of the Bowels, Listless-
ness, Heat, Pain; and Jaundiced Appearance; and while they
act thus salutarily, they must of necessity increase the
strength of the Patient. Headache, Giddiness' Singing in the
Ears, Fluttering of the Sight, and other Heavy Drowsy Sensa-
tions,—the forerunners of many fatal diseases,—as Apoplexy,
Paralytic Strokes, Epilepsy, &c., are effectually warded off by
a few doses of these Pills. They also produce sound refresh-
ing Sleep, a keen Appetite, and possess extraordinary efficacy
in invigorating the system, and imparting a pleasing serenity
of mind. They are unequalled as a Family Medicine ; in few
instances, where occasionally employed in Families and
Schools, will other assistance be needed.
For Females they are truly excellent, removing Headaches,
Depression of Spirits, Dizziness of Sight, Nervousness, Dim-
ples, Sallowness, and giving a healthy juvenile bloom to the
Complexion. Ladies, however delicate, will find them parti-
cularly beneficial both before and after confinement. For
Elderly People they are the most comfortable Medicine that
can be taken.
Mr. Smith, St. Ives: "Since taking your Pills I have not
once required the services of a medical man, and feel satisfied
this would be the case generally, if people were not so much
governed by prejudice. T. Webster, Esq., Sleaford, near
Melton Mowbray: " Having read your advertisement, I felt
assured your Pills would be of use to some of my poprer
neighbours. I have had 12 boxes, and they have derived
great benefit from taking them. I shall continue to recom-
mend your valuable Pills to all my friends."— Mr. Edwin
Highley, 4, Mount-street, Halifax : I find your Pilulre Vita
a very pleasant medicine in removing headache."—Maent-
wrog, Tan-y-Bwlch, North Wales : "Mr. Warner's compli-
ments to Dr. De Roos, and he finds no medicine do him so
much good as his Pilube Vitae."
Persons going Abroad, Captains, and others, cannot store
more important articles of health than the above, which, by
regulating the Stomach and Bowels, and tranquillizing • the
Nervous System, will prevent those fatal diseases so prevalent
abroad ; as also Sea Sickness and other complaints incidental
to long voyages and irregular living. No Emigrant's Chest
can be properly furnished without them, for when far removed
from medical aid, they will find in these Pills a never-failing
restorative.
I MPORTA NT.—Some unprincipled Vendors, when asked for
1)r. DE ROOS' Pills, have attempted to foist upon the Pur-
chaser other Medicines, or trash of their own compounding,
from which they obtain a larger profit. The GENUINE have
the words " WALTER DE ROOS, LONDON," in white let-
ters on the red ground printed in the stamp, affixed to each
Box, by special direction of Her Majesty's Honourable Com-
missioners, to protect the Public from Fraud, and to imitate
which is Felony.
May be obtained through all Medicine Vendors, at Is. lid.,
28. 9d., 4s. 6d., 11 s., and 335. per Box, with Directions for
Use, &c., or by enclosing Post-office Order or Stamps to Dr.
DE ROOS, 35, Ely-place, Holborn-hill, London, they will be
sent per return.

tion to their income, by selling these Pills, which are very
jingly becoming a favourite Medicine with the Public.
