W iiitecuapel . —On Sunday evening , Mr . Gardine . gave a most interesting lecture on the Corn Laws , at the White Horse , Mary-street , Whiteehapel , at the conclusion of which ; the adjourned discussion between Mr . Thompson , on the part of the League , and Mr . Gardiner on the para of the Chartists , recommenced and concluded . Several new members were added to the association .
BRADFORD . Meetings . —rOn Sunday the usual weekly meetings of the Chartists were held in the various localities , at each meeting new members being added to the Association . : DUNDEE . The good cause progresses in this town . Several meetings have lately been held , which have been well attended , the best possible spirit being exhibited by all present . Mr . Clark and Dr .

MANCHESTER . Chaktist Svnday School Tea Party . —A tea party of the scholars , teachers , and friends Connected with the Chartist Sunday School , was held in the Carpenters' llall , on the afternoon of Sunday last ; the party was both numerous and respectable . The room was tastefully decorated . The tea and other requisites were of first-rate quality , and the arrangements for tlic comfort and convenience of the parties present did much credit to the committee of young men who had the management of the affair . Mr . John Murray was called on to preside , who gave out an appropriate Chartist Hymn which was sung by the children , after which the company sat down to the repast . The tea
being over , Mr . Grocott delivered a short address to the teachers , scholars , and parents . After which he examined the children on various parts of useful knowledge . Several pieces were then recited by the children , amongst which wo noticed , " The downfall of Poland , " "The celebrated speech of Patrick Henry , " " IJyron ' s Dream , " "The uninsmbed tomb of Emmett , " " The Factory Slave ' s Last Day , " " The Charms of Freedom , " " The Democratic Working Man , " and a number of others , for which we cannot find room . One of the scholars then presented the following address to the superintendent and directors of the school .
1 An Address from tlie First Class of the IS ' atiuual Charter Association School , to the Superintendent and Directors . Gentlemen—We , the scholars of this class , Iwg leave to thank you , in the name of ourselves and the whole school , for your exertions on our behalf , not only in giving us the simple rudiments of education , but in also teaching us our duty to each other as members of one great family ; and , above all , for the pains you have taken to instil into our young minds the principles of pure democracy , and the rights of man . W ; e at the same time beg to congratulate you upon the general improvement of the pupils in the various classes , and also to thank you , on l > ehalf of the poorer scholars , for the prompt manner
in which you engaged in the getting up ol this party , as it was for their especial benefit ; and we assure you that , in return for your kindness , you will at all times find us ready to co-operate with , and render you assistance on all such occasions as the present . Gentlemen , lor ourselves , we can only say that we fed the benefit of your instruction , and for it we return you our heartfelt thanks . We are also perfectly aware of the many difficulties you have had to contend with in bringing the school to its present state of perfection . Gentlemen , in conclusion , we again thank you for the strenuous exertions you have made on behalf of the pupils generally—The Scholars or the First Class .
After the presentation of the address , Mr . Dixon said a fvw words on the benelits to Ixj derived from giving the rising generation a sound political education . The party then broke up , highly delighted with the evening ' s proceedings . Caktenteks -Hall . —A lecture wa » delivered in the above hall on the evening of Sunday last , by Mr . James Leach .

Uammage , of Northampton , visited this town , and addressed a meeting of the friends ot Chartism at the house of Mr . llornscv . Mr . G .
addressed the iucetint ; on the necessity ot the Chartist body being prepared to bring-forward Chartist candidates at the next general erection , and read a plan by which a county election fund could be raised for that purpose . The plan met with general approval , and it waa resolved to appoint a delegate to a county delegate meeting , to be held at Northampton on the second Sunday in the new year , when we hope that every locality will unite in determining upon taking practical steps by which the standard oi Chartism mav be placed on a sure and lasting basis .
SHEFFIELD . 1 ' iG-TREE-LANE . — On Sunday evening Mr . John West delivered a lecture , on the " Necessity and utility of Trades' Combinations , " to a very numerous and attentive audience . At half-past six o ' clock Mr . Cartledge was called to the chair , and read the '' Address of the Boston Trades' Delegates" from the Northern Star , which was received with enthusiastic applause . Mr . West commenced by remarking on the similarity of the movement of the Trades in America and England , affording one of the most convincing proofs that the real contest now waging throughout the civilised world was between tyrannical capital on the one hand , and ^ utieriiig labour on the otherliut it was a " great fact , " that , in spite of all opposition , tlit cause of Labour was making great and
rapid progress . Mr . \\ est tuen took up the objection that had been urged against Trades' Unions , and replied to them seriatim , and argued , from the combinations of the capitalists , the necessity of Trades combining for mutual protection , lie then took an ample review of . ' Messrs . Chambers' tract , the " Employer and the . Employed , " ably exposing the various fallacies and sophistries of that infamous work , and concluded an address of upwards of two hours' duration , amid universal approbation . After a few remarks from Mri Briggs , a vote of thanks was given to Jvlr . West , and the meeting separated . It is most gratifying to find that the Trades who were most bitterly prejudiced against the Chartists as a body , now attend the lectures in great numbers . This argues favourahly for the progress of our glorious cause .
GLASGOW . Visit ok Messrs . Stcroe a . \ d Crawford . —Under other circumstances , I would feel sorry to have to record the utter failure of the banquet in honour of these gentlemen , which was held in the Trades Hall , on Thursday evening , Dec . . 5 th . Not so on the present occasion ; for I deem it of great importance that Joseph Sturge ( Crawford , owing to the serious indisdosition of his lady , did not attend ) should be taught practically what influence hi . s satellites possess , and in the present instance , that lias been afforded . True , they may attempt to console themselves from the recollection that when they were here , about two years ago , that upwards of bill ) attended the soiree in
the City Hall . 1 can tell Mr . Sturge , that ot the number that attended on that occasion , the greater par t did attend believing , what was ostensibly set forth , that it was got up in order to assist in liquidating the debt due to Mr . G . Ross . Mr . William Pattison was treasurer for that soiree . I was present when he ( . Pattison ) moved that it be got up : " the proceeds or surplus to go to liquidate the debt on the Chartist Circular , owing to Mr . G . Ross ; " yet no account has ever been rendered to Mr . Ross in the case . This was disgraceful towards Mr . Ross , not only on the part
of Pattison , but also on that of every individual responsible for , or concerned in getting up that soiree , in not having compelled Pattison to produce a balance-sheet , showing how every farthii : gof that money had been expended . The people hare found out the real merits of these men , and they have for some time past treated them accordingly ; in proof of which , only about ono hundred and twenty persons attended the affair in the Trades' Hall on Thursday evening ; certainly no great encouragement to the leader of the Complete Suffrage Movement . 1 do not say this in disparagement of

Mr . Sturge , for I think he is misled . On Friday evening , what they call a " conversational meeting , " was held in the saloon of the Trades' Hall , for the purpose of ] " effecting a Union of all parties . " The proceedings were commenced by Mr . Murchy stating the object iof the meeting , from ^ which it appeared that the individuals who called it had no definite object to lay jbefore them . After a few words from Mr . Sturge , Mr . J . Lang spoke iafayour of being guided by public opinion , and appealed to Mr . Sturge himself as to the prejudicial result of the conduct of the minority of the Birmingham Conference . lie contended thait it was utterly useless to speak of union unless they were prepared to act on Democratic principles . Mr . Sturge , in reply , said that they had
not called' the meeting with a < nv to . discuss any particular ] line of policy , but icr to have a h-iendly conversation , in the that they might come to a better understand-in lie spoke * of Mr . Crawford ' s ; recommendation la- _ 'ar as to the necessity of keeping the Suffrage question constantly before Parliament , and concluded by recommending that the people in the various boroughs throughout the country should ascertain by ballot the opinion of the whole adult male inhabitants as to the persons they might wish to send to Parliament at the next general election . [ Mr . Colquhoun said , that as far as Glasgow was concerned , such an attempt at present would l > c mere waste of time and money . They kuew they had a vast majority of the whole " inhabitants with them ,
and though they were to canvass the city , as recommended b y Mr . Sturge , the Whigs would give the same auswer thqt had been often given , " these men have no vote on the day of election , therefore we must be guided by the opinion ot the electors " . Whatever professions some of these men mi g ht make to Mr . Sturge , lie might depend upon it they were not yet prepared to throw off the Whigs . As * a sample , he would refer him to his" ( All-. S . ' s ) friend , the late L ' rovost , John Henderson of Paisley , Editor the Glasgow Post , the professed organ of the Complete Sum-age party . At the tinic of the late Kilmarnock election the reporter of the Post gave most flattering reports of the proceedings of the meetings called by the Complete Suffrage party , while John Henderson ' , who writes both the Olasgow and Paisley leading articles , did everything in his power to damn the cause of
Vincent . That was a specimen ot what was to bo expected from these men—he ( Mr . C . ) contended that the peopk ) ought not to spend any money where they had iio prospect of carrying their man . Mi . Robert Malcolm rose , and in his usual style attempted to defend his superior , l'rovost Henderson , as well as himself for the conduct of the "establishment , " in ihe case of the Kilmarnock eloction . He then entered upon what he contended is the real difference between the Completes and the Chartists . Now , marjk what follows— "The cause of difference was the tyrannical conduct of the Chartists in attempting Xo put down all public meetings but their own , for Whatever purpose they might be called . He would refer , in particular , to the meetings called by
the Anti-Corn-Law League , and in particular , their conduct in voting for Tories . Unless they were prepared to denounce such conduct in future , he believed he expressed the feelings of the Complete Suffrage Committee , with whom lie w ; ia acting , when ho said , there could be no union . " Mr . Lang asked whether Mr . Malcolm expressed the views of the Complete Suffrage party < Mr . M . M'Farlane said , for his own part ho concurred in every word advanced by Mr . Malcolm . —Mr . Moir denied the insinuations thrown out by Mr . Robert Malcolm as to the Chartists wishing to support Toryism . It never was a principle with the Chartists to vote for Tories ; while he admitted that a portion of the more i earnest of them had urged the policy of
voting forj a Ton- where there was a reasonable probability cjf destroying the "Whigs ; but they never recommended other people to vote for Tories , or even thought themselves of voting for Tories for the mere sake of doing so . Their object was to destroy a faction that had basely bet rayed . the people . They ( the Whigs ) used the people as instruments to force the . Reform Dill from the aristocracy , and then turned round and persecuted the wry men that were the means ofi carrying them into power . These were the . reasons why the people opposed the Whigs , and not [ from any attachment to Toryism ; and as to the question of attending public meetings indiscriminately , he denied that ever the people had done so . f The people were possessed of sufficient
discrimination to know what meetings to attend . " Mr . Malcolm bad laid particular stress upon the subject of Corn Law Repeal ; the people attended those meetings because it was their duty and their right to do so . I Three years ago James Aclandtold them , in the City Hall , that he ( Acland ) admitted the Charter to l > c a good thing , and tliat the people ought to have it , but-then they could not wait tor it , because the people- were starving . He ( . Mr . ^ Mo ir ) would like to know whether the people were better fed now than they were three veal's ago , or whether the League had any better " prospects now than { then { The truth was , that this man and his friends were now looking to the next general election , the result of which was altogether problematical .
He ( Mr . | Moirj contended that they could not get a total repeal of the Corn Laws without the Charter , and he further contended that the whole people ought to be consulted as to the circumstances under which those lawfe should be repealed . He , therefore , justified the conduct of the people in attending those' and all such meetings . Mr . M'Farlane , said that he never would vote for a Torv ; but he ( Mr . Moir ) was sorry to find tliat neither Mr . M'Farlane nor many of his friends had yet seen the propriety of declaring that they coultl not unite with men who would vote for a Whig . , ' For his own part , he cared as little for the one as U 19 other . A young man moved that a Committee hie appointed for the purpose of calling a public meeting in order to consider the whole question . This was opposed by M'Farlane and . others , on the ground tliat the meeting had not been called tor such purpose , i Mr . Sturge disapproved of going to the
public , as " he was afraid the public mind was not yet fully prepared ; therefore it might lie dangerous /' After sonic remarks from Burrell , Sherrington , &c , the latter of whom told Sturge that it was preposterous to speak of the existence of a Complete Sufrrage Association in Glasgow : the truth was , they had no association ; there was only one association in Glasgow , the [ National Charter Association ; therefore , if they wished to act upon principle , they would join that one j which was in existence , and which had the sanction of public opinion . The mover of the motion said , thai as it appeared that Mr . Sturge and lis friends were not inclined to be guided by public opinion , he would withdraw his motion . The meeting then broke up . —1 had almost forgot to mention that our friend Pitkethly was present , and made a few but bold and unreserved remarks on the conduct of the Completes .
! HEBDEN BRIDGE . LeltiiIes . —Mr . Wiliam Bell , of Hoywood , delivered two instructive lectures in this place , on Sunday last , * t « -respectable aud attentive audiences . At the conclusion of the evening ' s lecture a vote oi thanks was given to Mr . Bell , and the meeting broke up ' .
i DUNDEE . The Christian Chaktist Church of this place held a -i ' cwVer in the Watt Institution Hall , on the evening { of Tuesday last . Round the walls of the rooms were hung a considerable number of the portraits of the people ' s friends , who cither have suffered in the cause of Liberty , or have been distinguished advocates of human freedom . At the . ltour of meeting Mr . i . John Hunter , pastor of the ' congregation , took thccliair , surrounded by a number of the staunch advocates of civil and religious liberty . An excellent repast was served up and enjoyed in the spirit of social j friendship . The chairman introduced Mr . "William ! Fk-eming , who spoke to the following sentiment : — " Soon may benevolence and temperance characterise all classes in the community . " The sentiment met with the approbation of the meeting . Mr . J . i \ . Hunter was next introduced to the assembly , who , in an eloquent and masterly stvle ,
supported the sentiment— " Soon may the precepts and blessings ! of Christianity be as extensive as the human family . "; 'ihe speaker , on resuming his seat , was warmly applauded . Mr . Archibald M'Donald , late of Aberdeen , was next introduced , and supported the sentiment— " May mankind speedily be . in possession of all those privileges , both civil and sacred , which heaven hath destined them to enjoy . " The chairman then introduced Mr . S . G . Mustarde , from Fife , who , in an energetic manner , supported the following sentiment : — " May all those political martyrs , now the victims of a corrupt and tyrannical government , soon be Restored to liberty and to home . " Mr . Mustarde gave a detail of the sufferings of the patriots , shewing ] that their punishment could neither be sanctioned by justice nor Christianity , and was well received ;' . The entertainmeut was enlivened by the performances of the church choir . We are happv to state thjit £ 1 17 s . was collected at the church door on Sabbfith last , in aid of the family of John Duncan .
| DERBY . Important Public Meeting fok tue Restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones . —For some time past the friends of the cause in this town have made grea exertions to obtain an influential meeting , to memorialize her Majesty for the remission of the sentences of the above patriots . It is with much pleasure that we now state , that party feeling seems entirely to have subsided in this town ; for in the requisition , signed by upwards of two hundred , the names ; of the influential of all parties have been recorded , j ^ incurring in the justice ami propriety of restoring Frost , Williams , and Jones to their native
land . The mayor" convened the meeting , which took place in the Town Hall—the first meeting of the inhabitants of Derby which has taken place in the new hall , that noble building being only just completed . The meeting , though called for twelve oV-lock , was well attended by . the working-classes , Mr . Hagen , a much respected gentleman , was called to the chair . He opened ] the proceedings in a dispassionate and able mannei * . A series of resolutions and a memorial were carried without a dissentient voice . Mr . Dorman , of Nottingham , supported the first resolution in a speech of great ability . Mr . Mason ; of Birmingham , supported the memorial in a speech of great power and eloquence . The meeting agreed to place the

KETTERING . On Tuesday night the Chartists of lettering held a meeting , which was addressed by Mr . Gammage , on the necessity of uniting to raise an election fund " . ' | j was agreed to meet on Tuesday evening next , to d « . cuss the propriety of sending a delegate to a county delegate meeting , to be held at Northampton , on the 2 nd Sunday in January .
NORTH EANCASUIRE . Osivaldwhistle . —Lecture . —On Wednesday evening Mr . M'Grath lectured in the large room of the Tinker and Budget inn , to a numerous meethi " . Twenty-eight cards of membership were taken out . Wheatley Lane . — Discussio . y . — On Thursday evening , according to previous arrangement , a public discussion took place in the spacious Inghamite Chapel of this place , between Mr . M'Grath and Mr . C . Owen , of Buntley . The subject for discussion was , " Would the immediate Repeal of the Corn Laws , and the establishment of Free Trade , under existing ar . rangements , be beneficial to the Working Classes ?" Mr . Owen undertook to prove the affirmative
of the proposition , and Mr . M'Grath the nega . tive . The meeting was the largest ever held in Wheatley Lane , consisting of between six and seven hundred persons . Mr . Cox acted as chairman on the part of the Repealers , and Mr . Walker was appointed to act for the Chartists . The arrangements were , that each speaker should have four speeches—half an hour for the first , and 8 quarter of an hour each for the three last . Mr . OwCh com . menced the debate by giving a history of the Corn . Laws , and eloquently vituperating the landlords for their injustice in enhancing the price of the poor man ' s loaf . Mr . M'Grath commenced by fixing the attention of the meeting on the question at issue , which
was , would Repeal and Free-trade benefit the industrious classes ? They could be only substantially benefitted by increasing their wages , or by cheapening bread and keeping wages at their present level . The onus was upon Mr . Owen to prove this , and if he failed in doing so , he failed in the accomplishment of the object for which he attended that meeting . Mr . M'Grath then entered into an exposition of the plausible absurdities which constitute the Free Traders' creed . He proved , to the evident satisfaction of the meeting , from the speeches of Hume , Villiers , Bowring , Fitzwilliam , < kc , that the objects the Free Traders have in view in seeking the repeal of the Corn Laws is to cheapen food that thev might reduce wages ; and bv
reducing wages , to lessen the cost of production ; and by lessening the cost of production , to carry on a successful competition in foreign markets . The debate throughout was conducted with the strictest decorum and propriety , and at its Conclusion Mr . Mooney , of Colne , stepped forward and submitted the following resolution for the adoption of the meeting : — "That it is the opinion of this meeting tliat the Repeal of the Corn Laws and the establishment of Free Trade would hot , under the operation of exist in :: laws and institutions , be beneficial to the industrious classes of tliis empire ; and this meeting entertains no hope of removing the evils which afflict society , until the whole people are re . presented in the Commons House of Parliament , and the interest of Labour is protected by the laws of
the realm . Mr . Cox , the Repealer ' s chairman , ob . jected to put the resolution . Mr . Owen likewise objected , alleging that the majorities were no criterion of truth . Mr . M'Grath urged the propriety of submitting the resolution , considering thp meet ing equallj entitled to express an opinion on the subject as him . self or Mr . Owen . Mr . Owen then moved aj amendment to the effect , that "the Repeal of the Corn Laws , and Free-trade , would be beneficial to the working classes . " The amendment was then put , when not twenty hands were held up for it . The resolution was next put , when nearly every hand k the Chapel was uplifted in its favour . Votes of thanks having been awarded to the chairman and the trustees of the Chapel , the meeting separated , highly pleased with the evening ' s proceedings .
Sabdkn . —Lecture . —Mr . M'Grath lectured here on Friday evening to a very good audience , on " Tie Principles of Government , and the Evils entailed on Society by their infringement . " The lecture gave great satisfaction . Several new members were enrolled . Blackburn . —Oi-t-door Meeting . —On Sunday morning , notwithstanding the intensity of the cola , Mr . M'Grath addressed a considerable number of the inhabitants of this town , in the Play Ground . The address was on general topics , and was most attentively listened to . At present the Chartists of Blackburn have no place of meeting . Their energy and spirit will , however , shortly surmount that obsti cle to the progress of the Movement . They ha ? e purchased land , and wttl commence the erection of a splendid Hall early in March next . No other political movement exists in Blackburn but Chartism .

SCOTLAND . Mb . Clark ' s Tour . —To the Chartists of England —My friends , —On Monday I left Edinburgh for AJ « , a village near Stirling , where I arrived in "the evening , and addressed a spirited and intelligent meetiM , composed of the cream of Scotch Chartism . The utmost attention was paid to what I advanced , and when I had concluded , a large number came forward and joined the National Charter Association . The inhabitants of Aha are all fully employed at present in tie manufacturing of woollen shawls , handkerchiefs , & (¦< and seem , from their general appearance , to enjoj many more comforts than fall to the lot of the other manufacturing operatives in the different pars of Scotland that I have hitherto visited . It gare me great pleasure to find that full employment b * l in nowise cooled the feeling in favour of Chartism , fi *
which this patriotic village has been so long and a justly famous . Here , too , I found one of those ra « exceptions from the general rule of conduct anion ^ the middle classes towards our cause , in the person « Mr . llarrowor , one of the oldest manufacturers in the place , who not only attended the-meeting , but within three amiable sons were the first to join thefts *** tion . This good man has erected a beautiful . liA which the Chartist body can have any night in " * week , if they should require it , without the 1 ^ expense . On Tuesday evenins I went in comp ^ f with a party of the Aha friends to Tillicoultry , & other manufacturing village , distant about two ni ^ from Alva , where I had a pretty good and && ligent audience , and formed a strong locality of » Association . On the following evening , Yfedms&J ' 1 addressed an attentive audience at another villa ?"
called Colsnaughton , and at the close of the lectflft as I had done on the two former evenings , fbrmfy * good body of the Association . On Thursaa , . mortfi 1 started for Crictf , and on my way stopped at ^ " "" rj famous in Scottish history as the residence ofw ancient kings . I visited the castle , or palace ^ bad a sight of the cell in which two of the mart * of 1819 , viz ., Biukl and Hardy , were eoii&uw- \ was also introduced to the square , in the « Ii J S which those noble patriots underwent the savage # * brutal sentence of the law , which ordered them to » " hanged , drawn , and quartered . " As I stood ga ^* on the spot , rendered sacred by the blood of tbe-S )^ tyrs . I gave vent to mv feelin < rs bv Dourine out-et
crations and maledictions on the ' heads . oftlie J »^ derers . Surely , I thought , the day will arrire « £ the wronged and insulted millions , throwing off « * trammels of kings and priests , will rise in niigW > . ^ crush the base minions of corruption who are -f etes ^ upon their very . vitals , and who make it " treaso 0 to love liberty , and " death" to defend it . Froffl ^ contemplation of this scene I turned in &s i ? l Jil bent my steps towards the memorable field of J ^ nockburn , situate about two miles east of ^^^ and celebrated as the spot on which Robert c ^ T and his brave compatriots defeated the legion * ^ "Southern invaders , and struck the decisive ** ; which gave Scotland to the Scotch . " From the ^ i
on the summit of which proudly floated the K V ensign" of Bruce , on the day which gave tory to his arms and peace to his coun ^ may be seen a beautiful and extensive ^' of lately reclaimed land , the ground on ff K the battle was fought , being ^ at that time , ^ rj late years , a morass ; but from being properly uraH ^ and in other respects well attended to , it ha&n ?* . ^ come a prime specimen of good arable land , j ^ the whole presents an appearance scarcely to "be jv ^ passed by any of that magnificent scenery for * . y
Scotland is justly celebrated . In the afternoon v coach for Crieff , and after a three hours' " v * j ^ . keen cutting northern frost , I arrived at nr / ^ L jj tion , and in the evening lectured to a . nUB 1 ^ jt . auditory in the Weavers' Hall . At the conclusion my address , the chairman , Mr . M'Ainsh , call ^^ discussion , but none appearing to be disposed U > the " Hst / 'we commenced the work of enroumentr * r succeeded in forming an additional locality . ^ . . ^ day I proceeded to Perth , and from thence to » on Saturday , in the far north .

A CURE ! FOR ALL !! HOLLOW AY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS . E XTRAORDINARY CURE of a Case abandoned bj GUY'S , the METROPOLITAN , KING'S COLLEGE , and CHARING CROSS HOSPITALS . This fact was sworn to this 8 th day of March , 1842 ,: before the Lobd Mayor , at the Mansion House .
SCMMABT OF AFFIDAVIT . Wh . Bbooke , Messenger , of 2 , Union-street , Southwark , London , maketh oath and saith , that he ( this deponent ) was afflicted with Fifteen Running Ulcers on his left arm , and ulcerated sores and wounds on both lugs , for which deponent was admitted an out-door patient at the Metropolitan Hospital , in April , 1811 , where he continued for nearly four weeks . Unable to receive a euro there , thu deponent sought relief at the three following hospitals : —King's College Hospital in May . for flvu weeks ; at Guy ' s Hospital in July , fr > r sLx . weeks ; and at Charing Cross Hospital at the end of August , for spine weeks more ¦ which deponent left , being in a far worse condition than when ho had quitted Guy ' s , where Sir Ijransby Cooper , and other medical officers of the establishment , had told deponent that the only chance of
saving his life was to lose ni 9 abm ! The deponent thereupon called upon Dr . Bright , chief physician of G uy's , who , on viewing the deponent ' s condition , kindly and liberally said , " I am utterly at a loss what to do for you ! but here is half a sovereign ; go to HOLLOW AY , and try what effect his Pills and Ointment will have , as I have frequently witnessed tho wonderful effects they have in desperate cases . You can let me see you again . " This unprejudiced advice was followed by the deponent , and a perfect ccbe effected in three weeks by the use alone of HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT , after four Hospitals had failed ! When Dr . Bright was shown by the deponent the result of his advice and charity , he said , " I am both astonished and delighted , for I thought that if lever saw you again alive , it would be without your arm ; I can only compare this cure to a eharcn !" ( Sworn at the Mansion House ofthe City of London , this 8 th day of March , 1842 . ) Before me , JOHN PIRIE , Mayor .
