TfIXTRACT from a report on an Analysis JjJ of Gardner & Co.'s " X India" Pale Ale, made by Professor Alfred S. Taylor, M.D., F.R.S., of G-uy'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 small proportion, no greater than that which should be found in a genuine decoction of malt. It consists of alkaline, phosphate, and chloride salt?, which are naturally found in the blood, and which may be regarded as necessary constituents of our daily food. In the form and proportion in which tbey 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 this Ale as an article of diet for several weeks, and I find it to beas wholesome and proper for daily use as its chemical composition indicates.

' 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 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. Diptheria, Ulcerated Sore Throat and Quinsey.—lhe above complaints hare 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 tnroat, if taken in time. The Kidneys, Stone and Gravel—la 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 Leys, Bad Breasts, Scrofulous Sores, and Glandular Swellings.—ln such cases the Ointment operates surely and with a rapidity that resembles magic. It should be nibbed 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. . -i 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 ever go from bad to worse unless proper means of cure are resorted to. In Holloway s •unrivalled Ointment aud Pills the dropsical patient will ever find succour ; the present relief derived from the use of these remedies is marvellously quick, and perseverance iv 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. . Gotit 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 done for some time. It is no use 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, and swellings, can with certainty be cured if this Ointment be thoroughly rubbed all round the complaiuing parts twice or thrice a day, keeping them covered with liiien rag spread with the same. , ... "SUI. The Pills must be taken according to the printed directions. The blood being in an impure state, perseverance is necessary. From humane motives letters of advice will be answered' gratuitously., 1.0 save carriage, the Pills and "Ointment should be ob tained in the neighbourhood of the sufferer, and not from Holloway's Establishment- Both the Ointment and the Fills should be used in the following cases : — ' _: ).;_^ Bad Legs '.
