EALTH, LONG LIFE, AND HAPPINESS.— 



— EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF SCORBUTIC HUMOUR. 

 I, William Wood, of Rockwell Green, in the parish of Wel- 

 lington, Somerset, hereby certify, that for about seven pears I 

 was afflicted with Scorbdtic Humour on my ncse, with a 

 continued discharge, rendering me almost unfit for society ; I 

 tried several medical men, and various medicines for curing 

 the same, but all proved of no avail, producing no beneficial 

 effect j at last I was persuaded to try Parr's Pills, and after 

 taking two small boxes and part of a third, I was completely 

 cured, and I now feel no pain or inconvenience as before. 

 Many parties in the neighbourhood, and your Agent for Wel- 

 lington, Mr. Greedy, can bear witness that my testimony is 

 correct, and I wish it to be made known, that others similarly 

 afflicted may be encouraged to try the same medicine, which 

 under the blessing of God has proved so serviceable to me. 

 Witness my hand this 6th dayof August, 1844. Wm. Wood. 



In the presence of John Greedy, Wellington. 

 From Dr. C. Steank, 184, Fulton-street, sole agent for 

 Brooklyn.— An instance of the singular efficacy of Parr's Lifk 

 PlLLB, which merits particular notice, occurred in the person 

 of a lady, residing at Brooklyn, of consumptive make, who had 

 been afflicted for upwards of six years with very great and 

 general debility, headache, flatulence, faintings, and all the 

 effects originating in an impaired constitution. Country air 

 was tried, but to little advantage. She complained of weari- 

 ness and pain on the least motion : her bowels were snmptimw 

 constipated, and at others lax, and never regular. At this 

 period, she was recommended to try Parr's Life Pills, when 

 no less astonishing than true, before she had finished two 

 boxes, an entire and perfect cure was the result. To such, 

 nothing can equal this antidote, as it imparts tone and strength 

 to the stomach, and operates so mildly, that the most delicate 

 of either »ex can take them with the greatest safety. 

 To T. Roberts and Co., April, 1844. Yours truly, C. Stbane. 

 These, and hundreds of other cases of DECIDED CURES, 

 attested on the highest authority, and already published, occupy 

 upwards of 150 pages of letterpress. These Testimonials are 

 published periodically, and may be had on application at any 

 respectable medicine-vender's. The cures, in many instances, 

 were effected after all other means had failed, and they thus 

 establish the claims of PARR'S LIFE PILLS, in being considered 



the best medicine in the woild. 



CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC— Beware of Spurious Imita- 

 tions of the above medicine. None are genuine unless the 

 words " PARR'S LIFE PILLS" are in WHITE Letters on a 

 RED GROUND, engraved in the Government Stamp pasted 

 round each box. Sold by all respectable Medicine Venders. 



TMPORTANT to the FASHIONABLE WORLD — 



J- By far the most influential of all the graces that contribute 

 to personal adornment is the Hair. Its recovery, preservation, 

 and improvement proportionably concern the elegantes of our 

 fashionable circles, and any information which will insure these 

 desirable results will be hailed as an inestimable boon. The 

 following extract from the letter of a respectable chemist in 

 Bridlington will be read with the highest interest '-— 



u A lady, a customer of mine, has found great benefit from 

 the use of your Balm. About six months ago her hair nearly 

 all fell off. I recommended her to try your Balm of Columbia, 

 Trhich she did. In the course of a few applications the hair 

 cefcsed to fall off. Before she had used one 3s. 6c?. bottle it began 

 to gro*7 very profusely, and she has now a very beantiful head 

 of hair. " i araf gentlemeu, yours respectfully, 



"Wm. SMITH, 

 M Chemist and Druggist, Market-place, Bridlington. 

 To Messrs. C. and a. Oldridge.— March 13, 1844." 

 C. and A. OLDRIDGE'S BALM of COLUMBIA causes the 

 Hair to curl beautifully, frees it from scurf, and stops it from 

 falling off, and a few bottles generally restore it again ; it also 

 prevents grayness. 3*. 6d., 6a., and lit. per bottle. No other 

 prices are genuine.
