THE ROAD TO HEALTH!
HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.
CURE OF A DISORDERED LIVER AND BAD DIGESTION.
Copy of a Letter from Mr. R. W. Kirkus, Chemist, 7, Prescot Street, Liverpool, dated 6th June, 1851. To
Professor Holloway, Sir, — Your Pills and Ointment have stood the highest on our sale list of Proprietary Medicines for some years. A customer, to whom I can refer for any enquiries, desires me to let you know the particulars of her case. She had been troubled for years with a disordered liver, and bad digestion. On the last occasion, however, the virulence of the attack was so alarming, and the inflammation set in so severely, that doubts were entertained of her not j being able to bear up under it; fortunately she was in induced to try your Pills, and she informs me that after the first, and each succeeding dose, she had great relief. She continued to take them, and although she used only three Boxes, she is now in the enjoyment of perfect health. I could have sent you many more cases, but the above, from the severity of the attack, and the speedy cure, I think, speaks much in favour of your astonishing Pills.
(Signed) R. W. KIRKUS.
AN EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF RHEUMATIC FEVER IN VAN DIEMEN'S LAND.
Copy of a Letter inserted in the Hobart Town Courier of the 1st March, 1851, by Major J. Walch.
Margaret McConnigan, nineteen years of age, residing at New Town, had been suffering from a violent rheumatic fever for upwards of two months, which had entirely deprived her of the use of her limbs; during this period she was under the care of the most eminent medical men in Hobart Town, and by them her case was considered hopeless. A friend prevailed upon her to try Holloway's celebrated Pills, which she consented to do, and in an incredible short space of time they effected a perfect cure. ,
CURE OF A PAIN AND TIGHTNESS IN THE CHEST AND STOMACH OF A PERSON 84 YEARS OF AGE.
From Messrs. Thewson, Proprietors of the Lynn Advertiser, who can vouch for the following statement. — August 2nd, 1851.
To Professor Holloway, Sir, — I desire to bear testimony to the good effects of Holloway's Pills. For some years I suffered severely from a pain and tightness in the stomach, which was also accompanied by a shortness of breath, that prevented me from walking about. I am 84 years of age, and notwithstanding my advanced state of life, these Pills have so relieved me, that I am desirous that others should be made acquainted with their virtues. I am now rendered, by their means, comparatively active, and can take exercise without inconvenience or pain, which I could not do before.
(Signed) H. COE, North St., Lynn, Norfolk.
AN EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF THE GRAVEL, AND A MOST DANGEROUS LIVER COMPLAINT.
Copy of a Letter addressed to J. K. Heydon, Esq., Sydney, New South Wales, dated Feb. 25th, 1851.
Sir, — A Mr. Thomas Clark, a Settler at Lake George, was for a considerable time seriously afflicted with a complaint of the Liver, together with the Gravel. His medical attendants, after trying all their skill, candidly told him that his case was hopeless, and any further efforts useless. In this situation, and when expecting every day would terminate his existence, a friend recommended him to try Holloway's Pills, and as a forlorn hope he did so; the first dose gave him considerable relief, he therefore persevered in taking them according to the directions, and is now restored to perfect health. He will feel great pleasure in confirming this statement, or even make an affidavit to the same effect, should it be required.
(Signed) Wm. JONES, Proprietor of the Goulburn Herald, New South Wales.

Agent for Otago — THOMAS BAIN, Princes St. Sub-Agents Wanted for the Country, -Otago Witness, 4/12/1852.
Holloways Pills made Mr Thomas Holloway one of the richest men in Britain in his day. They were used by Queen Victoria, which would have been good for sales. After his death, they were analysed - they contained aloes, rhubarb, saffron, sodium sulphate decahydrate and pepper. They probably had a mild laxative effect.

DEATH
We have to lament the death of Mr. Thomas Bain, who departed this life on the 30th ult. He was one of the early settlers of Otago, an elder of the Church, and in that capacity was a most energetic and useful member of the Deacons' Court. To his untiring zeal we are indebted for many useful institutions. To him we owe the establishment of The Property Investment Company, and until his declining health compelled him to relinquish his many honorary and gratuitous public services, he was ever foremost in all movements for the welfare of the community. The last tribute of respect was paid to his memory on the 3rd inst., when upwards of 100 of his fellow-colonists attended the melancholy ceremony of his interment in the public cemetery. -Otago Witness, 23/1/1854.
OTAGO PROPERTY INVESTMENT COMPANY. (excerpt)
Having left the Chair, he (the Chairman) made a few remarks upon the character of the late Treasurer, and the loss which his demise had occasioned to the Society, and begged to propose the following resolution: — "That this Society desires to record its deep sense of obligation to the late Mr. Thomas Bain, as the founder and indefatigable labourer in furtherance of this institution — its sympathy with his bereft widow and family, and its sense of the great loss sustained by the community in having been deprived of one whose honesty of purpose, sterling integrity, and persevering activity, had constituted him one of the most useful and valuable members of the community.
"That the Chairman be requested to communicate this resolution to Mrs. Bain."
The resolution was seconded by Mr. W. Young, and carried unanimously -Otago Witness, 11/2/1854.
