T7IXTRACT from a report on an ANALYSIS Hd of Gardner & Co.'s " X India" Pale Ale, made by Professor Alfred S. Taylob, M.D., F.R.S., of Guy's Hospital, London :— "I believe this to be a sample of good, wholesome, and genuine Beer, sufficiently strong in alcohol to render it a pleasant stimulant, and to confer on it keeping properties. The mineral matter or ash is in smull proportion, nr> greater than that which should be found in a genuine decoction of malt. It consists of alkaline, phosphate, and chloride salt,-', which aro naturally found in the blood, and which may bo regarde 1 aa necessary constituents of our daily food. In the form and proportion in which they exist in this sample they are conducive to health, and confer wholesome properties on the Ale. "As to the quality of the Ale for Indian con sumption, I do not see that it admits of any improvement. It has the genuine taste which only malt and hops of good quality skilfully proportioned can give. " Apart from the results of this chemical analysis, which has been made for my own satisfaction, I have U3ed thig Ale as an article of diet for several weeks, and I find it to be as wholesome and proper for daily use aa its chemical composition indicates."

THE U.K,A« MONSTER PETITION. QN the 16th April, 1872, the Annual Licensing Day, the above petition was, contrary to law or precedent, smuggled before the Bench of Justices, the Mayor himself leaving his seat on the Bench to introduce the bearers of same, after which he resumed his seat on the Bench, and together with a brother Justice —Mr. Archibald Clark —who had signed the petition, lent their interest for its introduction. No wonder that in spite of the strong pro test made the Bench decided to receive the petition, stating they would not be influenced by anything it contained. The after proceedings leave little doubt how far that promise was car ried out by the majority. The Eev. Maunsell was chosen as the represen tative of the party. Tho high char acter of that gentleman is a sufficient proof that ho was no party to tho infamous contents of the petition. Of his coadjutors I will say nothing. Some hundreds of persons signed, being of opinion that there were plenty of hotels to meet the requirements of the people, and in complete ignorance of the last clause, which prayed that a license should be refused to any house against which an information had been laid. These zealous reformers could not wait for a conviction, but would, upon informa tion only, rob tho widow and fatherless of their only support. For why ? The first four sheets were in old hands, and were carefully nursed, but at sheet five commences a system of duplication seldom attempted, certainly never equalled. Some of the parties so signing might plead ignorance, but names will be found there duplicated, and triplicated, the owners of which will find it difficult to explain. What shall we say of the canvasser who lent himself to such practices ? Many of the sheets bear unmistakable evidence that the canvasser has entered the the names in batches. Over five hundred have signed in pairs; forty nine persons have signed twice, and no doubt many more, could the petition be properly scrutinised and tested. Ten hundred and fifty male signatures, thirteen hundred and fifty-four female signatures, and one hundred and sixty-three affixed their X mark. This includes children, of which no inconsiderable number have been signed for. Great doubt attaches to many signatures signed as by the husband for the wife, or by the wife for the husband, such as— Ann Gill, for Colin Gill. Stephen Dearly, for Lousia Dearly. Isabella Mason, for Peter Mason. Margaret Eerguson, for William Eerguson. Sarah Ladd, for Alfred Ladd.



This occurs on nearly every sheet throughout the petition, to the number of two hundred andsevenfcy-seven times, and representing five hundred and fifty-four names. The forty-nine persons found to have signed twice are as under— Sheet 1, E. 13. Shalders, repeated on sheet 25, E. B. Shalders Sheet 2. John Gittos, repeated on sheet 39, John Gittos, signed by Eliza Gittos Sheet 3. Rice Owen Clarke, repeated Eice Owen Clarke Sheet C. A. Cornford, repeated sheet 23, A, Cornford Sheet 29. Mr D.

I would propose that the foregoing, with whatever alterations the Com- , mittee may deem fit to make, shall be published in the Evening Star of Eriday and Saturday, and in the Herald and Cross on Saturday and Monday, and that a full page should be devoted of each paper to that purpose ; that no better purpose could be found for the funds of the Society, as the petition is a blow to the true interests of the L. V. A., and a lie upon Society, contrary to all honesty or justice. Signed on behalf of the L.V. Association. EOBT. HAYWOOD, President. June G, 1872.

Scorbutic Eruptions, as Sore Heads and Scrofulous Swellings. —lf this powerful Ointment be well rubbed into the parts affected all skin disease will be speedily overcome. It acts not by repression, but repulsion. It enters the system as salt enters meat, and operates not locally only, but constitutionally purifying the whole system, neutralizing all depraved humours, and effecting a radical and complete cure. The Pills should be taken as'an auxiliary to the Ointment, as they are so prepared as to act in unison with it, facilitating and confirming the conquest of the disease. DipiJurla, Ulcerated Sore Throat and Qainsey. —The above complaints have for twenty years been treated with Holloway's Ointment and " Pills with perfect success. The cures have been so remarkable, speedy, and numerous, that these often fatal diseases are more easily cured by these medicines than even the common sore tnrqat, if taken in time. The Kidneys, Stone and Gravel. —ln these complaints the Ointment almost acts like a charm, pro viding it is very effectually rubbed over the regions of the kidneys, which it will penetrate and give almost immediate relief, while the Pills should be taken according to the printed directions, when the most extraordinary cures may be effected by this means. Bad Legs, Bad Breasts, Scrofulous Sores, and Glandular Sxoellings. —ln such cases the Ointment operates surely and with a rapidity that resembles magic. It should be rubbed into the parts affected after they have been fomented with luke warm water. The purifying and curative powers of this marvellous unguent have never failed. An old sore, wound, or ulcer always yields to its influence, and in cases of bad breasts, or milk fevers, its action is wonderful. Glandular swellings may soon be reduced by following the printed directions. The Action of the Heart — Dropsy. —The last named disease is commonly preceded by irregular action of the heart, and difficult respiration ; which symptoms are always severe, and evergofrombadto worseimless proper means of cure are resorted to. In Holloway's unrivalled Ointment and Pills the dropsical patient will ever find succour ; the present relief derived from the use of these remedies is marvellously quick, and perseverance in the steady application of this famous Ointment invariably results in a cure. They act with such energy on the circulation, and absorbent system that the dropsical fluid vanishes, and the sufferer finds all the oppressive symptoms daily decline till natural health returns. Gout and Rheumatism may be cured with the greatest certainty if large quantities of the Ointment be well worked into the complaining parts, and this perseveringly clone for some time. It is no ixse to smear it on the skin only, it must be got into the system. Take as many Pills nightly as will act two or three times during the 21 hours ; eschew the use of coffee, and all stimulants. When these complaints are leaving the system the virulence ot the complaint frequently seems to increase. Indiscretion of youth.— Sores, ulcers F and swellings, can with certainty be cured if this Ointment be thoroughly rubbed all round the complaining parts twice or thrice a day, keeping them covered with linen rag spread with the same. The Fills must be taken according to the printed directions. The blood being in an impure state, perseverance is necessary. JFrom humane motives letters of advice will be answered gratuitously. To save carriage, the Pills and Ointment shouia be ob tained in the neighbourhood of the sufferer, and not from Holloway's Establishment. Both the Ointment and the Pills should be used in the following cases : — Bad Legs Cancers Scalds Bad Breasts Contracted and Sore Nipples Burns Stiff Joints Sore-throats Bunions Elephantiasis Skin-di'ea^ ■■■■■ Bite of Mosquitos Fistulas Sew fft > and Sand-Flies Gout Sg per d. • Coco-bay Glandular Swell- 2 J fin Chiego-foot ings ' %^xCy Chilblains Lumbago &f aßt S Chapped Hands Piles ] £&jl for X Corns (Soft) I Rheumatism | tjjf e an) J S . y There is a considerable saving bjr 2J r ♦£"* larger sizes. ■ ri N.B.—Directions for the guidance of p& q / every disorder are affixed to each Pot. £-i I {?
