Chapter IV: Part 4

Dear Sir,—I have much pleasure in handing to you a testimonial of the efficiency of your Medicines. A person in this neighbourhood with whom I am well acquainted was afflicted for a long time with violent spasmodic pains in the stomach and liver, arising from frequent colds, smells of paint, and the effects of a stooping position which he was obliged to assume in his business. The spasms were of an alarming character, and frequently left him in a weak and debilitated condition. At length he heard of the salutary effects of your invaluable Pills, and was induced to give them a trial. The first dose gave him considerable relief, and by following them up in accordance with your directions, they have acted so wonderfully in cleansing the liver and stomach, and strengthening the digestive organs that he has been restored to the enjoyment of good health.

I remain, dear Sir, your’s faithfully,
(Signed) WILLIAM BOSTOCK.

SIR,—I cannot think myself doing my duty towards my brother seamen, without relating to you (and trust that you will inform the public) the following facts:—I was always taken ill when sailing abroad. I used to be attacked with great pain in my stomach and bowels: but last time I went to sea I took a lot of your CAMBRIAN PILLS with me, and to the astonishment of all on board I enjoyed perfect health during my voyage to Calcutta and back, while all the other hands were suffering dreadful illness.

EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF FITS AND WORMS.

Newry-street, Holyhead, Dec. 11, 1852.

_To the Proprietor of the Cambrian Pills_.

SIR,—Allow me to address you on a very important subject, that of my former illness and wonderful recovery, the details of which I wish to the whole world may be made known:—For the last fifteen years I have been troubled with great pain in my stomach and intestines, sour belchings, flatulence, pain in the head, lowness of spirits with general emancipation of body, and frequent fits attacked me of late, I used to throw my meals up as soon as eaten. Having consulted many Doctors, and tried all remedies in reach to no purpose, until one day I was recommended to try a Box of the Tremadoc Pills. Having continued to take them for some time, I felt much better; after taking a dose of Pills in going to bed one night, I felt towards morning a rumbling noise and a queer sensation in the intestines, I got up and took another dose, and wonderful to relate, in a few hours, _I parted with a Worm measuring nearly_ 12 _feet_!! and ever since I am a healthy man; this occured about three months from this date.

I remain yours obediently,
DAVID HUGHES, Provision Dealer.

CURE OF FISTULA, AND OTHER COMPLAINTS, WITHOUT
CUTTING, BY MORISON’S PILLS.

To MESSRS. MORISON.

January 12th, 1853.

GENTLEMEN,—I feel great pleasure in making a public acknowledgment of the good I have received from your valuable medicines. I have been afflicted from childhood with severe attacks of bilious complaint, every five or six weeks; I have suffered dreadfully from spasms, scarce ever free from them little or much: I have suffered from bad legs for these last twenty years. I have dreaded the approach of winter, for they would be then covered with scaly bleeding running sores from the knees to the ankles: I have been afflicted for these last ten years with rheumatism with repeated attacks of lumbago; I have been troubled from a child with great quantities of worms, and for these last five years I have suffered from a fistula, which gradually increasing, caused great pain and lowness of spirits, so I continued up to September 1851; when my afflictions increased—I was seized with severe griping pains in the bowels, for which by taking large doses of medicines and drugs, would relieve me for a few days, then they would return more violent. Worms made their way through the wound of the fistula in abundance. Four months I endured dreadful pains in the chest. I felt as if I were bound round with an iron bar. I felt dreadful pains across the back and shoulders, my neck became stiff, my eyes bloodshot; there appeared a heavy weight on my head, with a hissing noise like a steam engine, my arms seemed filled with streams of boiling water; I had every advice within my reach. I had blisters and mustard plasters to my chest in abundance; I had Doctors and medicines of every description, but all to no use, I gave myself up for lost; the last doctor told me my liver was dreadfully affected, and if I did not take care, I would have the yellow jaundice, and that the wound proceeded from the liver; he did me no good, there was no hope but the hospital, but I dreaded the knife. A friend at last persuaded me to try MORISON’S PILLS, but I was so prejudiced against them, I ridiculed the very idea, but try them I did, glad to catch at any thing, and thank God I did; they made me very bad at first, but I persevered, beginning with five of No. 2, increasing one each night up to nine. I found relief, they stopped the violence of the fistula, they relieved the pains in my chest, and brought from me frightful quantities of worms. I then bought some No. 1’s of Mr. Lofts, No. 1, Park-place, Mile End-road, and took them alternately, increasing the doses up to 12, and they were the cause of my passing five pieces of thick skinny substance, the size of the palms of the hand. I commenced taking the pills January 1852. In May the lumbago attacked me violently, in June my legs broke out worse; I increased the doses 16 each night, they soon got well, but there was a pain under the ribs of the right side—something appeared to be gathering there, it got bigger and heavier, till it appeared to be as big as a pint bason. I decreased the doses to 18, it got worse; I increased the noses to 20, my whole back seemed inflamed, in three hours after, I took 10 more, something gave a sudden snap, I was sick for the first time since the commencement, upwards and downwards came from me several pints of slime, blood, and corruption, &c.—the pills had done their work, and I was healed; since that time I have had a few flying pains. I have gradually decreased the doses down to the present time. I am restored to health and strength. I feel 10 years younger, and I thank the Almighty God in putting within my reach your most valuable medicines; since I began to take your pills, I have been exposed to all weathers, working in a market garden, and I have been laid up for illness but one day through the whole time.

I remain yours most gratefully,

14, Devons-road, Bromley, Middlesex.

Geo. Holden, aged 45.

FOOTNOTES.

{33} It is a most melancholy coincidence that the very night, and about the same hour, these lines were penned (Dec. 24th, 1852), a vessel, name unknown, was wrecked, not far from my dwelling—the whole crew lost! Contracted must be the mind, and cold the heart, that can find nothing in these sad catastrophes to awaken its feelings. How many brave crews leave their respective ports, never to return! And, alas! how many of these, departing from under our eye, to appear at the bar of God, cast back upon us, from the shores of that untried world, upbraiding looks, because we cared not for their souls.

{51} On Saturday, Feb. 26, 1853, this locality was visited with a most terrific gale of wind from the North West, which, during the time it lasted, was the most violent that has been in the recollection of the oldest inhabitant. The sea raged with immense fury, and carried away many hundred feet of the staging, both at the Soldier’s Point and Salt Island, strewing immense balks of timber along the shore, all round the bay in every direction. But amid all this destruction, occasioned by “elemental strife,” the RENDALL BREAKWATER, that is, the deposited stones, defied the mountain wave, and became the more solidified by the mighty seas which swept over it.

{59} The crew of the first vessel consisted of people of various nations; and some of them continued a considerable time at Penrhos.
