LO OOO—OOOOO"O""
SURPRISING CURE OF A CONFIRMED ASTHMHA, AFTER FIVE
YEARS’ SUFFERING.
The following Tesimionial has been sent to
Professor Holloway, by a gentleman named Middleton, Scotiand-read, Liverpool:
Smr—Your Pills have been the means, under Pro. Yidence, of restoring me to sound health, after five
. years of severe affliction. During the whole of that
period, I suffered the most dreadful attacks of Asth
ma, frequently of several weeks’ duration, attended
with a violent cough, and continual spitting of
. phlegm, intermixed with blood. This so shook my
. constitution that I was unfitted for any of the active
duties of life. Iwas attended by some of the most
eminent medical men of this town, but they failed to
give me the slightest relief. Asa last remedy I tried
your Pills, and in about three months they effected
. a perfect cure of the disease, totally eradicated the
cough, and restered tone and vigor to the ekest and
. digestive organs.
I am, sir, your most obedient servant,

Sir :—I have much pleasure in informing you ofa
most surprising, cure of Dropsy, recently effected by
your valuable medicines. Captain Jackson, of this
place, was afflicted with Dropsy for upwards of eighteen months, to such an extent that it caused his
body and limbs to be much swollen, and water oozed
as it were from his skin, so that a daily change of ap
parel became necessary, notwithstanding the various
remedies tried, and the different medical Men consulted, all was of no avail, until he commenced using
your Pills, by which, anda strict attention to the
printed directions, he was effectually cured, and his
health perfectly re-established. If you deem this
worthy of publicity, you are at liberty to use it.

of Boston, Lincolnshire.
To Professor HoLtoway,
Dear Sir,—Mrs. Sarah Dixon, of Liquorpond street,
Boston, has this day deposed before me that for a
considerable period she was severely afflicted with
scrofulous sores and ulcers in her arms, feet, legs,
and other parts of her body ; and although the first
of medical advice was obtained, at the cost of a large
sum of money, she obtained no abatement of suffering, but gradually grew worse.
Being recommended by a friend to try your ointment, she procured a small pot, anda box of the
Pills, and before that was ail used, symptoms of
amendment appeared. By perseyering with the medicines for a short. time longer, according to the directions, and strictly adhering to your rules as to diet,
&c., she was perfectly cured, and now enjoys the best
of health.

Medical Faculty of the principle cities of Europe were
compelled to acknowledge its wonderful mastery over
disease. Proprietors of other Medicine, jealous of its
SSSA. heen pre nstre

Like grass before the mower, their efforts fell to the
ground; and like fire on tae praries, sweeping all before it, its onward march became triumphant. It
stood forth upon its own merits ; a discerning public
saw, tried and were convinced of its magical virtues. The massive fortune acquired by Dr. PAREIRA
from the sale of it dnring the six years he prepared it,
alone bore witness toits miraculous merits.—
At the decease of the Doctor, the recipe was bequeathed to his son, who has lately introduced the

is Dr. L. J. Czapkay’s Prophilacticum, a preventiveagainst Sy philite and Gonorrhoeal Diseases.
Harmless in itself it possesses the power of chemically destroying the syphilitic virus, and thereby
saving thousands from being infected by the most
loathsome of all diseases. Let no young man who
appreciates health be without Dr. Czapkay’s Prophilacticum. It is in very convenient packages, and will
be feund convenient to use, being used aga soap. That
the disease can be prevented by the use of proper agents, is as well an established fact, as that they can
be cured after their establishment. This principie,
whichis now universally recognized, was received eyen before the days of Jenner, the discoyerér of vaccinaiion, in 1796, and its multiplied benefits ever since
have received, as they deserved, the attention of the
medical faculty. It wasin pursuits of this branch
of the medical science that Dr. L. J. Czapkay fortunately made the discovery of his “Prophilacticum,”’

it is useful in neutralising the poisonous secretions
which, by absorption, produce the horrid consequences known as secondary syphilis. . It has been administered by the Doctor in many thousand cases, and
he has yet to find the first in which it has failed to
subserve the purpose for which it was administered.
