ALEXANDER, THE celebratd American Aurist, at the earnest re- JL quest of his many friends in Great Britain, has established a Depot for the sale of his far-famed "Virginia Elixir," A sure cure for Deafness and Singing in the Ears, no matter of how long standing. Thousands of Testimo- nials from all parts of the world prove the wonderful efficacy of this Elixir, which has never been known to fail in effecting a cure in a short time. A member of the Malvern Club (who had been as deaf as a post for 15 years) writes to say he was induced upon the advice of a friend to give Mr Alexander's Elixir a trial, which completely cured him in six weeks, after spending hun- dreds of pounds to no purpose in consulting all the cele- brated Aurists in Great Britain and on the Continent. A single bottle (which will prove its value) will be for- warded, free of post, upon receipt of 15 or 29 Stamps. In bottles of Is. lid. and 2s. 6d., to be had of all respect- able Chemists.—See that each bottle bears the Govern- ment Stamp.—Sole Wholesale Agents, II.
