EXTRAORDINAY CURE.
Mrs. Harriet O’Donnel, a lady of pro-
perty, residing in Union street, Plymouth,
states in a letter7 to Professor Halloway,
dated November 20th 1852, that she was
afflicted for nearly five years with fre-
quent and violent attacks of Tic-doulour-
eux, and Rheumatic pains in the head,
neck, and face, and that at times, her agony
was so great as to make her despair of ob-
taining a cure. Medical aid had no effect
whatever, in alleviating her sufferings. The
attacks left her in a weak and debilitated
condition, and so impaired her bodily health
that she was reduced almost to a skeleton.
A friend at length recommended her to try
Holloway's Pills, which she did, and after
persevering with them for about a month,
taking them at such times as she felt the
attack approaching, the disease was entirely
eradicated, and she was restored to conva-
lescence. This is now two years ago, and
no relapse whatever has occurred to inter-
rupt her enjoyment of good health.

To Professor Holloway,
‘•Sir,—It gives me great pleasure
to forward to you, this testimonial of, . r
the wonderful efficacy of your truly inval- \ Miss Harriet L. Davis, Department of Ma-
uable medicines. I suffered for a consid-'
erable period from a severe attack of Ery-
sipelas, which at length settled in my leg,
and resisted all medical treatment, My
sufferings were very great, and I almost
despaired of a cure, when I was advised to
have recourse to your Ointment and Pills,
and to follow the rules for diet, &c., as
prescribed in your printed directions. I
did so without delay, and am ha^py to say
the result was eminently successful, for
they have effected a radical cure of my 1’eg
and restored me to the enjoyment of per-
fecthealth and strength. I shall ever speak, o
with the utmost confidence of your medi- tj
cines,'hatting recommended them to others
in this neighborhood similarly afflicted, and
with the like success.
I am, Sir your oblige^! and faithful ser-
vant.
