FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH.—The manifold advantages to the Heads of Families from the possession of a Medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sickness, occurring in families more or less every day, are so obvious to all, that no question can be raised of its importance to every housekeeper in the kingdom. These Pills are a mild ape rient, and if taken after an indulgence at table they are speedy restoratives. For FEMALES, they are truly excellent, removing all obstructions, the distressing Headache so very preva lent with the Sex; Depression of Spirits, Dulness of Sight, Nervous Affections, Blotches, Pimples, and Sallowness of the Skin, and produce a healthy complexion. Sold by Front and Harsant, 229, Strand, London : and by all Medicine Vendors. HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. Let the Sick take heed.—The stomach is the commissariat of the physical system. It furnishes the material sustenance of every organ. If disordered the whole body languishes; but, however severely affected, its tone and vigour may always be restored by a course of these irresistible Pills. Bile, indigestion, liver complaints, and other disorders of the stomach, can easily be cured by the use of Holloway's Pills. Thousands attest to this assertion, and no sufferer that has ever tried them will deny their supreme eill eacy.—Sold by all medicine vendors throughout the works, at Professor Holloway's Establishments, 244, Strand, London, and 80, Maiden-lane, New York; uy A. Stamps, Constantinople; limuns ; and Z. Muir, Malta. MIGIN Mond., DL ~Turgid. 1100ixd 164 i 4 ;174f 35c .1 f el Wed. 99j
