J. M. WIGHTMAN, 33 Cornhill. OPINIONS OF DRUGGISTS. _From Thomas Hollis, an old and long-established Druggist, No. 23 Union Street._ BOSTON, DECEMBER 3, 1855. MR. THOMAS LEWIS. Sir: I have examined your Improved Portable Syringe, and regard it as a most admirable instrument. Compact and simple in its construction, it is easily managed, and not liable to get out of order, and is well adapted for all the purposes for which it is intended. THOMAS HOLLIS. The following opinion, expressed by the principal wholesale and retail Druggists of this city, shows with what favor the new instrument has been received by the trade generally:-- BOSTON, NOVEMBER 16, 1855. The undersigned having carefully examined _Lewis's Improved Portable Syringe_, are satisfied as to its excellence, and believe it to be superior to any instrument of the kind before offered to the attention of the trade.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. _From the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal._ The editor of the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, under date of Dec. 6, 1855, speaking of Lewis's Improved Portable Syringe, says:-- "Portability, durability, neatness, and efficiency are qualities which render any apparatus as nearly perfect as possible, and they are certainly possessed by this. The piston moves admirably, and its action requires hardly any more exertion from the person working it than does that of the elastic bottle attached to certain of these instruments. "There is a great convenience, it is true, in avoiding the use of the pump, as is effected by Dr. Mattson in his arrangement, and the stream of fluid is thrown (or can be) more continuously; but the lasting nature of the metallic chamber and rod, together with the ease of working the latter, are equivalent excellences. "This apparatus is adapted to both rectal and vaginal uses, and a small pipe is added for use in the case of children.
