TANNER'S BESTOaATIVE COUGH PILLS, Proved to be a most safe and efficacious medicine for the relief and care of coughs, asthma! pulmonary complaints, hoarse- nesS, (iimCIilty of breathing, and all obstructions of the chest and lungs. v 1MIE salutary and most extraordinary efficacy of this iriedicine, in cases known to the proprietor, where many have been rescued almost from the brink of the grave, has in- duced him to extend its sphere of usefulness. They quickly afford relief in all cases of coughs—the frequent precursor of consumption; and speediiy relieve that unpleasant and dis- tressing sensation of tickling in the throat; and in cases of consumption and spitting of blood, many have found great benefit from their use. They afford permanent relief in long- standing cases of asthmatic coughs, and hundreds have already been completely cured of the most severe ordinary coughs. They do not contain a particle of opium, or any drug likely to ] injure the constitution. The trial of a single box will satisfy any sufferer ot their astonishing efficacy. They heal the sore- ness of the chest, occasioned by violent coughs and aged per- sons will find the greatest relief from taking them. The following TESTIMONIALS are published (by permission) out of a great number received by the Proprietor. The original letters, and various other proofs of the efficacy of these celebrated PILLS, may be inspected by any person desirous of seeing them at the Propiietor's house:— Bristol, June 14,1851. Sir,-It is now seven or eight years since I caught a dreadful cold accompanied with a most distressing Cough, which returned regularly e\ery winter; I tried a great number of different medicines without much effect, until some time since I was re- commended to try your Restorative Cough Pills, from which I found great relief, and by occasionally taking this valuable medicine I am quite recovered and feel no smyptoms of a return ot my old complaint, but I feel it a duty I owe to make thns statement, that others suffering from Coughs, Colds, &c. maiy obtain a remedy at once cheap and efficacious in taking Tanner's Cough Pills.

A most miraculous cure of Bad Legs, after forty-three years Suffering. Extract of a letter from Mr. William Galpin, of 70, Saint Mary's stieet, Weymouth, dated May loth, 1851. To Professor Holloway, SIR.-At the age of eighteen my wife (who is now Gl) caught s a violent cold, which settled in her legs, and ever since that time they have been more or le»s sore, and greatly inflamed. Her agonies were distracting, and for months together she was deprived entirely of rest and Jeep. Eveiy remedy that medical men advised, was tried, but without effect; her health suffered seveiely, and the stateof her legs was terrible. I had often read yoor advertisements, and advised her to try your pills and oint- ment and, as a last resource, after every other remedy had proved useless, she consented to do so. She commenced six weeks ago, and, strange to relate, is now in good health. Her legs are painless, without seam or scar, and her sleep sound and undisturbed, Could you have witnessed the sufferings of my wife, duiing the last forty-three years, and cooirast them with her present eo}oymentof health, you would indeed feel delighted in having been the means of so greatly alleviating the sufferings of a fellow creature. (Signed) VVILIIAM GALPIN. A Person of seventy years of age cured of a Bad Leg, of thirty years standing. Copy of a Letter from Mr. Wm. Abbs, Builder of Gas Ovens, of Rushcliffe, near Huddersfield, dated May 31st, 1851. To Professor Holloway, Sin,—I suffered for a period of thirty years from a bad leg, the result of two or three different accidents at Gas Works, accom- panied by scorbutic symptoms. I had recourse to a variety of medical advice, without deriving any benefit, and was even told that tbe leg must be amputated; yet. in opposition to that opinion, your pills and ointment have effected a complete cure in so short a time, that few who had not witnessed it,would credit the fact. (Signed) WILLI A M ABES. The truth of this statement can be verified by Mr. W. P. Eng- land, chemist, 13, Market-street, Huddersfield. A dreadful Bad Breast cured in one month. Extract of a Letter from MI. Frederick lurner, of Penshurst, Kent, dated December 13th, 1850. To Professor Holloway, DEAR SIR,-My wife had suffered from bad breasts for more than six months, and during the who'e period had the best me- dical attendance, but all to no use. Having before heated an awful wound in my own leg by your unrivalled medicine, I de- termined again to use your pills and ointment, and therefore gave them a trial in her case and fortunate it was I did so, for in less than a month a perftct cure was effected, and the benefit that various others branches of my family have derived from their use is really astonishing. I now strongly recommend them to all my friends. (Signed) FREDERICK TCRNER. A wonderful cure of a dangerous swelling of the knee. Copy of a Letter from John Forfar, an agriculturist, residing at Newborough, near Hexham, dated May 15th, 1850. To Professor Holloway, SIR,-I was afflicted with a swelling on each side of the leg, rather above the knee, for nearly two years, which increased to a great siie. I had the advice of three eminent surgeons here, and was an inmate of the Newcastle Infirmary for four weeks After various modes of treatment had been tried, I was dis- charged as incurable. Having heard so much of your pills and ointment I determined to try them, and in less than a month I was completely cured. What is more remarkable, I was engaged twelve hours a day in the hay harvest, and although I have fol- lowed my laborious occupation throughout the winter, I have had no return whatevei of my complaint. (Signed) JOHN FORFAR. An inflammation in the side perfectly cured. Copy of a Letter from Mr. Francis Arnot, of Breabouse, Lothian Road, Edinburgh, dated April 29th, 1851. To Professor HOLLOWAY, SIR,-For more than twenty years my wife has been subject from time to time, to attacks of inflammation in the side, to which she was bled and blistered to a great extent; still the pain could not be removed. About four years ago she saw, in the papers, the wonderful cures effected by your Pills and Ointment, and thought she would give them a trial. To her great astonish- ment and delight she got immediate relief: from their use, and after persevering for three weeks, the pain in her side was com- pletely cored, and she has enjoyed the best of health for the last four years. (Signed) FRANCIS ARNOT. The Pills should be used conjointly with the Ointment in most of the following cases:— Bad legs, bad breasis, burns, bunions, bite of moschetoes and sand-flies, coco-bay, chiego-foot, chilblains, chapped hands, corns (soft), cancers, contracted and stiff joints, elephantiasis, fistulas, gout, glandular swellings, lumbago, piles,rheumatism, scalds, sore nipples, sore-throats, skin-diseases, scurvy, sore- heads, tumoors, ulcers, wounds, yaws.

CHOOSE THE BEST XTEMEDY d I I PARR'S L I F E PILLS Are acknowledged to be the oes t Medicine in tie tcorld. XECONOMY should be practised in all things, but more J particularly in matters of medicine. The restoration to health has generally been purchased at a costly price and certainly if health could not be procured at any other rate, s costly price suould not lie an object. of scruple, But where i the wisdom, where is the economy, in spending vast sums on a physician's attendance, when sound health and long life may be ensured by the cheap, safe, and simple remedy of Parr's Life Pills. The general use of this medicine having been the result of the benefits experienced by tbousands of persons, and that the knowVge of such may be- useful to all, we recommend a care- -erusalof the following Testimonial. The sale of PARR'S LIFE PILLS amounts to upwards of 30,000 boxes weekly, more than all other patent medicines put together This simple fact needs no further comment; it tells plainly that the PILLS of OLD PARR are the Best Mtdicine in the World From Mr. JOHN HEATON, Agent, Leeds. 7, Briggate, Leeds, Aug. 15,1851. DEAR SIRS,—I some time since forwarded you a Testimonial as to the efficacy of I'APnls LIFE PILLS, in this neighbourhood. I am happy to be able now to inform you that my opinion of their excellence continues unaltered, and the unvarying testi- mony of my customers assures me that they are a great boon to the working classes their use having, in a great number of cases which have come under my notice, been attended by the most beneficial results, in the removal or abatement of the most distressing maladies,—in many instances amongst persons whose circumstances rendered it utterly impossible for them to avail themselves of medical treatment, and in many others where medical treatment had been resorted to without avail. It is always satisfactory to know that what one is the means of in- troducing or circulating is likely to serve the desired purpose and there is no medicine I sell with greater satisfaction or con. fidence, on account of their excellence and efficacy in all respects, than PARR'S LIFE PILLS, I am, dear sir, yours faithfully.

LEWIS'S CONCENTRATED ALTERATIVE PILLS, ELECTARIUM OINTMENT, DTC. IN introducing to the Public some of the most valuable Family Medicines ever offered for the relief cf the afflicted, the Consignees, Messrs. IIINGSTOK, Ilt lSH, & Co., beg to submit a brief statement '%f e of their origin and discovery, and the reasons which have induced them to present these preparations in the form in which they are now offered for general use, and in which alone they can be placed within the reach of all. In the very extensive private practice of Mr. W. LEWIS, late of George-street, Manchester, it is well known that his aversion to the use of calomel or mercury led h;m, during a period of twenty five years, to devote his unimerrupted attention to the discovery of some valuable alterative with a view to supersede it in which attempt he was so for- tunate as completely to succeed, and to combine the r&medy thus dis- covered by him. ir. such a form as might be most likely to agree with the generality of constitutions .ahouring under certain forms of chronic or incipient complaint and disorder. But eonflned to the private practice of one medJca man. however extensive that practice might be, (and the successful u?e of this one remedy gained for Mr. Levis, a celebrity and reputation unsurpassed in the annals of provincial medical practice), the benefits resulting there- from, must in a measure be only local. It is, therefore, with a view to extend those benefits to the public at large, that Mr. LEWIS has been prevailed upon to overcome the very natural repugnance felt by all me- dical men. to the system of Patent Medicines, and to consign to Messrs, HINGSTON, HUISH, and Co., the sole right to prepare and vend his several medical preparations, the value of which his long experience has given him ample opportunity of testing. LEWIS'S CONCENTRATED ALTERATIVE PILLS, will be found specifically useful in all cases where it is needful to act at once on the liver, bowels, kidneys, and skin. The great and essen- tial claim to merit which they possess, is the fact of their containing a VEGETABLE ALTERATIVE which supersedes the use of mercury, being as effectual for the same specific purposes as that powerful medicine without producing afterwards those distressing effects upon the system, which in too many cases have rendered the remedy almost as bad as the disease. Their action is most remarkably safe, gentle, certain, and effective; more peculiarly where the secretory and absorbent systems are concerned. Hence their value is inestimable in dyspepsia accom- panied by bile, acidity, heartburn, giddiness, headache, nausea, flatu- lence constipation of the bowels, depression of the spirits, and nervous irritability. They remove ail offending humours by their effectual, but painless, action on the bowels, stomach, and secretory glands. In many cases they have, by promoting the absorbents, and carrying off through natural channels, the superabundant humours, a nested the progress of con usmption. They are effectual in relieving'coughs of all descripons arising either from colds or stomachic derangement and are invaluable for the cure of bronchial diseases of the severest form. From their peculiar action on the organs before mentioned, they in- fallibly relax contractions, remove indurations, tumours, and swellings of thej oints, open obstuctions of all kinds, and remove congestions. Taken regularly in the spring and fall of the leaf,—the two most trying periods of the year, to persons of sensitive and delicate organisation, and to infancy aud age,—they strengthen the tone of the stomach, and sooth, fortify, and invigorate decaying nature. Their effect on the skin and secretory organs renders them singularly effective in cases of gout, rheumatism, feverish attacks, &c., &c.; whilst to the nurse and the mother, they are one of the greatest blessings ever vouchsafed, as they act so gently, and with such freedom from pain, that the youngest child may take them at the same time, they actively rectify all female ob- structions and weaknesses, and yield the most valuable and grateful relief to suffering womanhood, whether in youth or middle age. By opening the pores and acting on the skin, they restore it, when needed, to a healthy state, purify the blood, clear the complexion, remove all eruptions on the face, pimples, heats, and humours of every kind they relax cramps, prevent spasmodic contraction, relieve palpitations, gaatiitis, and are of most important use in influenza. For certain symptoms and stages in most fcf the diseases for which these pills are a specific remedy, their action is rendered more certain and efficacious by the use of LEWIS'S ELECTARIUM, a choice preparation from American plants, designed as an adjunct to the use of the pills in chronic diseases, and those aggravated forms of bilious illness and suffering produced by hot climates, irregular living, or too great indulgence in the pleasures of the table. The other preparations, the use of which is recommended especially with the pills for the disorders specified, are LEWIS'S BALSAMIC OINTMENT, a perfectly unsurpassable medicament for Wounds, Tumours, Bad Legs, Excoriations, Indolent Tumours, &c., &c. and LEWIS'S SILVER CREAM, for Whitlows, Chilblains, Eruptions of the Skin, Ringworms, Heats Rashes, &c., &e. The Pills and Ointments are sold in boxes or pots, at Is. lid., 2s. 9d., 4s. ed., and I Is.; and the Electarium in bottles, at 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., lis., and 2?s., by the wholesale agents, Messrs, SUTTON- and Co., Bow- churchyard, London by respectable Medicine-vendors, in every town in the kingdom, and by the Sole Consignees, HINGSTON, HUISH, and Co.'

He had tried various sorts of medicine before taking Halse's Scorbutic Drops, and had prescriptions from the most celebrated physicians in this county, without deriving the least benefit. Halse's Scorbutic Drops have completely cured him, and he is now able to attend to his labour as well as any man in our parish. From other cures also made in this part, we strongly recommend Halse's Scorbutic Drops to the notice of the public. Signedby JOHN ELLIOTT, Lord of the Manor. JOHN MANNING. WILLIAM PEARSE.

Part I. treats of the anatomy and physiology of the productive or. gans, and is illustrated by 28 coloured engravings. Part II. trea's of the consequences resulting from excessive indul- gence, and their lamentable effects on the system, producing mental and bodily weakness, nervous excitement, and generative incapacity. It is particularly addressed to those who are prevented, in consequence, from entering into the marriage state, and points out the sure means of per- fect and secret restoration to manhood. It is illustrated by 10 explana. tory engravings.. Part III. treats of the diseases resulting from Infection, either in the primary or secondary form, and contains explicit directions for their treatment, illustrated by d2 coloured engravings. Part IV. contains a remedy for the Prevention of Disease by a simple application, by which the danger of Infection is obviated. Its action is simple, but sure. It acts with the virus chemically, and destrovs its power on the system. This important part of the work should not escape the reader's notice. Part V. is devoted to the consideration of marriage and its dutie The reason of physical disquali/ieation, and the causes of unproductive, unions, are also considered, and the whole subjectcritically and philoso-. phicallv inquired into. The Authors, resrularly educated members of the Medical Profession, having had long, diligent, and practical observation in the various Hos- pitals and Institutions for the relief of those afflicted with Syphilis, Se- condary Svmptoms, Stricture, Venereal and Scorbutic Eruptions of the face and body, have nerhaps had an unusual opportunity of witnessing their dreadful and destructive consequences in all their various stages. Hence, knowinc the practical necessitj of sound judgment in such seri- ous cases, and having seen the injury that has arisen from the careless- ness and neglect of its study, Messrs. R. and L. Perry have devoted their attention exclusively to this peculiar class of maladies, and the re lief -they have consequently been enabled to render to their fellow creatures, is fully testified and gratefully acknowledged by convalescent patients, and others, daily arriving in town, from all parts of the coun- tr), for the express purpose only of personal consultation while their exertions have been crowned with the most signal advantages; yet, from what they have experienced in inquiring into the nature and causes of these infectious complaints (from the'r most simple condition to that of the most dangerous and inveterate), they have always entertained the possibility of their prevention and removal, and likewise invariably found, that the more horrible and malignant forms of the disease could almost always be traced to one of the following causes ignorance, neg- lect, or the ill effects of unskilful a'd improper treatment; therefore, Messrs. Perry have succeeded in discovering, in the selection of their remedies, a safe, effectual, and cautious course, omitting allcombina- tion of remedies which bear an equivocal character, as well as those whose premature or injudicious application might be productive of bad consequences in the hands of private individuals. In short, the laudable end of this remedy is the lessening of a great mass of human misery, by the alleviation, relief, and prevention of those grievous afllictions that are in reality the secret foes of life, and which, while they so extensively surround us", call aloud for our skill and interference for their examina. tion Messrs.
