      CUBES FOK THE UNPUBBDl HOLLO WAY'S OINTMENT . — An extraordinary Cube of 8 crofula or KntO '« Evxiu Extract of a Letter from Mr . J . H . AuuiDAir . 209 . High-street , Cheltenham , dated the 22 ad of Jauuary , 1850 . To Professor HotLOWAY . . , Sir , —My eldest mm , when about three years of ag < fc was afflicted with a Glanddar Swelling W the neck , which , after a short time , broke out into au Ulcer . An eminent meqleal man pronounced it as a very bad case of Scrofula , and prescribed for a considerable time without effect . The disease then for four years went on gradually increasing in virulence , when , besides the ulcer in the neck , another formed below the left knea , aud a third under the eye , beside * seven others on the left ar » , with a tumour between the eyes , which was expected to break . During the whole of the time my suffering boy had received the constant advice of the most celebrated medical Gentlemen at Cheltenham , besides being- for several months at the General Hospital , where one of the Surgeons said that he would amputate the left arm , but that the blood was so impure that , if that

      limb were taken off . it would be then even impossible to subdue the disease . In this desperate state I determined to give your Fills and Ointment a trial , and , after two month ? ' perseverance in their use , the tumour gradually began to disappear , and the JiFcharge from all the ulcers perceptibly decreased , and at the expiration of eight months they were perfectly healed , and . the boy thoroughly restored to the blessings of health , to the astonishment of a large circle of acquaintances , who could l ^ stify to the truth of this miraculous case . Three years have now elapsed without any recurrence to the malady , and the boy is now as healthy as heart can wish . Under these circumstances I consider that 1 should be truly ungrateful were I not to make you acquainted with this wonderful cure , effected by your medicines , after every other means had failed .
