[A.DvEurisnmENT.]—Errs's (Homoeopathic Chemist) COCOA.—This esteemed preparation is sold by the principal grocers at Is. 6d. per lb., in Ilb., alb., and ?,Ib. packets. Each packet is labelled " James Epps, Homoeopathic chemist, London." [ADvEnTisEmENT.]—Holloway's Pills and Ointment.— Sore throat, quinsey, ulcerated throat, and diptherite.— The sore throat, with more or less hoarseness. prevailing at this season of the year, has for twenty years been treated with the above remedies with a degree of success far curpassing that of any other mode of treat:neut. The cures have been so remarkable, speedy, and numerous, that it was predicted the new disease, diptherite, consisting of small ash-coloured ulcers in the interior of the throat, attended by fever often fatal, might be arrested by the same means, and such has been the case. This disease, in its first stage, seems even more amenable to Holloway's Ointment and Pills than the simpler forms of inflammatory sore throat.
