Charity and Holiness An Extraordinary Cure of Scrofula or Evil Extractof a letter from Mr II Alliday 209 High Street Cheltenham dated the 22d of January 1850 To Professor Holloway Sir My eldest son when about three years of age was afflicted with a glandular swell ing in the neck which after a short time broke out into an ulcer An eminent medical man pronounced it as a very bad case of scrofula and prescribed for a considerable time without efiect The disease then for four years went on gradually in creasing in virulence when besides the ulcer in the neck ano ther formed below the left knee and a third under the eye besides seven others on the left arm with a tumour between the eyes which was expected to break During the whole of the time my suffering boy had received the constant advice of the most celebrated medical gentlemen at Cheltenham besides being for several months at the General Hospital where one of the surgeons said that he would amputate the left arm but that the blood was so impure that if the limb were taken off it would be then even impossible to subdue the disease In this despe rate state I determined to give your pills and ointment a trial and after two perseverance in their use the tumour gradually began to disappear and the discharge from all the ulcers perceptibly decreased and At the expiration of eight months they were perfectly healed ami the boy thoroughly re stored to the blessings of health to the astonishment of a large circle of acquaintances who could testify to the truth of this miraculous case Three years have now elapsed without any recurrence of the malady and the boy is now as healthy as heart can wish Under these circumstances I consider that I should oo truly ungrateful were I not to make you acquainted with this wonderful cure effected by your medicines after every other means had failed (Signed) ALLIDAY Cure of Acute Rheumatism of our Standing of a letter from Mr John Pitt Dudley 19th Jan Professor Holloway Sir It is with the greatest pleasure that I write to thank you for the benefit I have re ceived from your pills and ointment which have completely cured me of the rheumatism under which I suffered for this last four years At times I was so bad as hardly to be able to walk I had tried every kind of medicine that was recom mended without receiving any benefit I at last though It would give your medicines a trial and purchased from Mr Hollin chemist of this town two boxes of pills and two of ointment and in three weeks through them and the blessing of God I was restored to health and strength and am now as well able to walk as ever I was in my life I am well known in this parish having been sixty five years in it with an ex ception of ten years I served in the 24th Regiment of oot (Signed) "JOHN PITT CURE A DESPERATE CASE RINGWORM SIX YEARS STANDING Lima 13th of November 1849 One of the most emi nent surgeons in Lima (the capital of Peru) had a child covered with ringworm for more than six years In vain he exhausted all his artJn endeavouring to effect cure Not succeeding he consulted among his brethren the most celebrated medical practitioners of the city but nothing was found to do the child service when he was persuaded by Mr Joseph Hague the English chemist and druggist residing at No 74 Calle dePal lacii to try Pills and Ointment which was done and after using six large pots of the Ointment with a propor tion of the Pills the Child was radically cured to the surprise of the whole medical profession The name of the Parent from motives of delicacy is withheld Sold by

BOND STREET LONDON who has visited Ireland professionally for 27 years announces his departure from 19 NASSAU STREET (Within One Door of Dawson street) To take place in a few days As the first and thereby chief particular in Spectacle Lenses depends on the materials of which they are composed Mr SOLOMONS (who has devoted an almost exclusive attention to this department of Science during a practice of upwards of 30 years) trusts that it is unnecessary for him to make the slighest remark on that subject or on the con siderable benefits derivable fr the use of his Spectacles but as a few who suffer from dim or weak eight are aware of the absolute importance of the system in which they should be adapted to its manifold defects it should be remembered that the failure of vision in most instances arises from the change of density and refractive power of crystaline humour (termed by anatomists the from its resemblance to a convex glass) by which imperfection the rays of light pro ceeding from objects presented to the eye are conveyed to the foci before they reach the retina or diverge toa point behind it Now although the ill chosen and badly manufactured glasses usually sold are capable when ground to a focus of giving a greater convergence or divergence to rays of light producing also at the same time a considerable magnifying power they are highly detrimental to the sight for being strong conductors of heat possessing an unequally diffused refractive quality and in short having nought but injurious proper ties tire use of these common glasses cannot fail to aggravate the very evils they are intended to remedy and numbers have seriously suffered from them The following eminent Members of the aculty whose Testimonials are in Mr possession have recom mended

Queen Prince Albert the Duke of Cambridge his Excellency 5 5 5 EMIGRATION The rage for emigration knows no limits The people are leaving the land in myriads rom Tipperary the emigra tion continues to an unexampled extent and from Clare the best of the population are hurriedly betaking themselves to the other side of the Atlantic whilst of Kerry Cork and Limerick the same may be said with perfect veracity As an inetance of the feeling by which the more comfortable class of persons are actuated a fact has been communicated to us on authority which we cannot question and which relates to the emigration movement in Clare A comfortable farmer of the name of John Keating of Kilbaha purchased a farm about a fortnight since for his eldest son He laid out a large sum of money on the purchase and everything seemed to prosper the commencem nt in life of the young man who is of excellent character and most industrious habits The day after the farm was taken the son accompanied by his eldest sister and others of his family abandoned the newly taken farm proceeded to Limerick took shipping for New York and are now at sea on their voyage to the free shores of America On the same day no less than 65 of the inhabi tants of the same place abandoned their holdings sold what ever they could convert into cash and took shipping also for America The landlord went to the next townland for the pur pose of providing a very comfortable and desirable farm for a favourite tenant The moment the tenant got into possesion of this desirable farm he gave it up and took shipping also for America In fact these sixty seven or sixty eight persons were in all respects the most comfortably circumstanced in all that extensive district rom our observation too of the class of passengers going out daily we can perceive that they are not the destitute or the disabled Quite the contrary The lorence of London cleared out from the quays of Lime rick yesterday for New York with upwards of eighty passen gers most of whom were respectable looking persons nearly all from Clare Some of the passengers by this vessel were those who escaped the wreck of the fated Edmond last No vember and for whom the deep has no terrors at this mo ment Altogether nothing can surpass the rage with which the people are thus influenced or how or when the mania may terminate it is difficult in the extreme to pronounce Meantime the question is what is to become of the country Since the 1st of January 1851 twenty ships have sailed from Limerick with 2527 passengers which forms up to this moment nearly a fourth part of the number that left for the year ending 31st December 1850 being 10482! ifteen vessels are at present on the berths at the quays of Limerick waiting to ship their passengers for the different parts of America Where we again ask will this end Limerick Reporter rom Westport the tide of emigration increases with almost alarming rapidity Two vessels the Wanderer and the Transit are now about to leave for Quebec with an average of one hundred passengers each and two others are daily expected to convey passengers to New York and Quebec Numerous applications are being made daily for passages even before the vessels arrive and but one feeling seems to pervade the minds of the people generally and that is to get out of the country as soon as possible I am just after being on board of the vessels now about to leave for Quebec and have much pleasure in testifying to the very admirable manner in which they have been fitted out for the reception of the passengers We regret to say that the num ber of emigrants is not confined to persons leaving by ves sels from this port as hundreds are weekly leaving for Liver pool and Sligo were they purposo taking shipping Mayo Constitutioh Attempt to Break a Gaol A conspiracy for break ing our county gaol at the expense of the murder of one of the turnkeys was discovered and frustrated amongst the convicts last week It appears that the plan was laid amongst the occupants of the cells off one corridore in which about thirty persons are confined The fellows had contrived to crack the bar of one of the cells in such a manner as that though the injury to the fastening was not perceptible to the officers of the prison the occupants by rushing against the door could force it out It was intended that two men being able to free themselves thus upon getting out to the corridore should unbolt all the other doors and their com rades having then joined them only one door would remain between them and liberty owing to the alterations at pre sent being made in the establishment To effeet their libe ration from this barrier it was planned that a noise should be made at an early hour of the morning and upon a turn key coming to ascertain the cccasion of it he was to be struck dead with the broken bar of the cell and all werd to rush out through the outer gate on which it was not custo mary for the military sentinel to be placed till eight in the morning The conspiracy was discovered to the go vernor by one of the prisoners in time to have it completely frustrated and the parties have since been placed in Kilkenny Journal i rpAKE NOTICE

TO THE EDITOR THE TIMES Sir I have now good evidence that the deaths in the Kilrush Unionhouses for the 12 months ending March 25 1851 will exceed eighteen hundred! As I see little if any hope of any just attempt to fix the blame of this mortality in the right quarter as I know of attempts to suppress the truth in justice to you Sir and myself I shall give you in plain language the facts I believe capable of plain proof horrifying as the' are they are I believe strictly true I will commence my horrid tale with the indoor doings of the board Tbe great mortality may be dated from about the first week in January last The infirmary ditt book at one time perhaps now could prove that from the week ending January 4 to that ending March 29 there was ia that de partment a deficiency of milk averaging weekly 642 quarts In the fever hospital there was also a large deficiency Cocoa so called cocoa nibs in reality was the substitute in the teeth of medical opinion against it Now Sir at one period in the past year I have the date a large number of old men and women were discharged by the chairman or the board off the infirmary books and sent to certain wards set aside for infirm old men and wo men other old persons in the house were also placed in these wards They became crowded to suffocation They were used as day and night wards Those confined to bed were crowded on by thos'e out of bed the rooms became disgusting and dan gerous to enter" Th6 complaints of this class of the dietary were great and justly so They said they were starved I have that dietary to produce and I assert without fear of any error it was just that in quantity and quality likely to finish the days of infirm people so crowded On this however I shall procure a better opinion than my own Tke medical officer did remonstrate with the inspector and the chair man on the subject he did represent it to the board They died by wholesale some in tbeir beds before they could be removed to the infirmary Some of this class have been moved to the sheds They now have milk instead of that cocoa nib compound This class Sir (I have it cn good au thority) should have been very many of them in the hospi tal on sick diet under medical treatment However thus they were treated and thus as the books will show they died in masses Let us now Sir look in at the infirmary It contained at the time of which I speak 200 beds and very close they were to each other The medical reports will prove at least they did that in the week ending January 4 after deducting deaths and discharges there were 292 patients January 11 312 January 18 333 January 25 359 ebruary 1 352 and so on until we come to March 1 on that night 396 slept in a 200 bedded hospital I Bearing in mind the deficiency of milk the great workhouse stimulant why should we wonder at the great mortality yet to be fearfully increased These wards are not now so crowded as some of the sick are moved to Leadmore still there were a week ago not less than 180 hospital patients in 79 beds I have good proof that this state of things proved a topic of remonstrance with Mr Vandeleur chairman more than once not only on the part of the medical officer but also at least by one guardian 1 turn now Sir from this hastening of the ends of the aged and infirm to the treatment of children I believe this class have been treated with a barbarity almo beyond be lief to them milk is all important for months they were dieted with so gross an imitation of it that at times even the hunger of this famished crew could not touch the food made with barrowfuls of stirabout have been thrown into the dung pit as unfit for food I have tlie whole history of this milk and the details of its composition The matter was again and again brought before the medical authority be ad mitted it was not fit for human beings but that he would not be allowed to remedy I have proved in former letters that he tiid represent it to the board on ebruary 1st and again on ebruary 22d The cocoa nib composition for some of the houses was prepared overnight at the pa rent house ard then brought down the next day cold and in uncoveied barrels I shall be surprised to find that either Vandeleur or Lucas will deny that they knew that food prepared for children was thrown away as uneatable our and five children have been often crammed into one bed there have Leen at times one hundred boys and girls sick at one time and no hopital to remove them to It can be proved that the boys and girls and infirm at Leadmore have been without food from three in the afternoon to eight or nine next morning I believe there is not an officer of any of these houses who if sworn and pro perly protected would not say the children fell off in num bers purely from the irregularity of their meals the nature of those ineals and the shameful crowding They will not dare to deny that young of both sexes registered as fifteen years of age have been sent to Leadmore and dieted as children There were certain sheds speedily run up to meet the pres sure on the houses the walls were yet dripping and the floors wet when the chaplains had in those sheds to pre ie anoint the dying sometimes as many as seven in a day Until lately there has I am told been no visit ing committee of the guardians and I believe that what ever the visiting book may bear of evidence to the contrary the visits have been rare The dead were fre quently left 24 hours in the wards with the living I have the evidence of two witnesses who saw some coffins opened at the graveground A young woman was naked all but some rags evidently placed on one part of the body by a hand the males were not even thus far treated with decency though they had some remains of shirts on them Will they deny that there has been at least one burial with only straw as a substitute for shrouding Is it not a fact that though there is shrouding in store the or ders are not to use it if the deceased has any shirt or chemise? Nay is there not a minute of the board to that effect? Now Sir it requires a far less knowledge than I have of these poor creatures to know that a rule might as well be made only to bury Highlanders who die in kilts in the breeches in which they expire The bodies examined for me in the graveyard prove the brutality of the practice if there is such a minute we know who are parents to it I have this moment received an attested staement of a late infirmary patient He states used to sleep three four and five in a bed when five were thus crammed it was done by putting two be Is dose together the fifth person lying where they joined from four one day to nine the next we were The bread was often stolen by the strong from the weak and sold or given away without the walls But Sir I must quit the indoor horrors the officers appear to have done their best but they acted under their taskmasters many have evidently feeling hearts and would tell with feeling the scenes in which they have had to act but their own salaries and the good will of the board a'one stand between them and the fate of the hundreds they have seen thus done to death I should fill columns of your paper were I to attempt to give a tithe of the evidence I have as to the treatment of applicants for relief It is of no use the relieving officer marking against a name it is just as likely to have or put against it by the chair man The books prove this and I can prove that in some of these cases the results halve been just what might be ex pected Many hundreds will remain over whese cases have been unheard on one ad missioned ay If they are lucky enough to be told the board will sit the next day they have to get under the market house or where they can and wait without food Some have come 10 Irish miles and may thus wait 24 hours and then are or or a considerable period there was only one admission day then (I have it on the best evidence) many would have to depart home a day or journey to wait till the next Thursday The meal for distribution will often come two and three daya after the appointed time for distribution The relieving officers have again and again been reprimanded for having so (many cases on their books The board persevered in their refusal of all outrelief for a considerable time after their houses were crammed beyond the proper number It is quite sickening to read the narrative of witnesses who had the best opportunity of knowing the truth of acts of low cun ning used to postpone relief refuse it or give it in the way in which it could scarcely arrive in time to save life Refuse out relief at all was the cry of the leader and his satellites echoed it Death after death has occurred from starvation and the bodies have been buried and no inquest held Inquests however have been held on many I have copies of very many and want of has been the opinion of the juries I en close you copies of three of them I received this day I have by me a large mass from different parts of these arc Kilrush cases Mr Lucas says the people are obstinate for not coming into the house Did he ever observe the difficulty with which sheep are got into a slaughter house? Batchers keep a pet sheep as a decoy could he turn out an old pauper from with in the houses who would in appearance or by any possible action invite others in He tells of soup and whiskey and such other luxuries I can find him the quantities of the latter consumed and the date the amount and real ingre dients of the former I thank him for the opinion of the increasing honesty of a population so tried as the peasantry Did Mr "Major tell him of the lecture for perjury he had at the same sessions to give one of the guar dians This inspector talks of skin diseases and ophthalmia as it itching and blindness were of about' the same import ance Dr Wilde the eminent oculist a few months ago went to the Tipperary workhouse to into the cases of ophthalmia patients he found 87 with sight permanently da maged 18 irrecoverably blinded 32 had lost an eye each 39 were purblind Let me remind Mr Lucas that opthalmia in these workhouses is the result of cramming by night into crowded tvarda children ill fed have shiver in cold.
