To Professor Holloway,—Sir,— A person named John Margoschis, of 19, Regent street, Leamington, was afflicted for eight years with scorbutic eruptions on the lips, and at length the whole surface of mouth and lower part of the face were covered with sores. He tried all kinds of reme dies without deriving any benefit whatever. At length he was recommended to use your Pilfe, which in three days produced a great change for the better, and in a short time effected a perfect cure.
