Harriet, O'DonneIl, a lady of property re-
siding in Union ST., Plymouth, states, in u
letter to Professor Holloway, dated, Nov.
10Th ls52,-That she was afflicted for
nearly five years with frequent attacks of
lie Douloureux and Rheumatic palms.
Medical aid had no effect whatever in al
leviating her suticrings. The attacks left
her in weak and debiIitatel condition
and her bodily health was very much i'm
paired. In this deplorable state she was
induced to try Holloway's Pills, and by
persevering in their use, the pains became
gradually diminished, and ultimately she
was restored to perfect health aud
strength.
