Established 1820 H 0 LLOWA.Y'S PILLS the GREATEST WONDER of the AGE.—The cynics of the medical schools are constrained to admit that Holloway's Pills banish disease from the stomach, liver, and bowels, without reducing the strength of the patient.

These Pills cure Bile, indigestion, Disorders of the Liver, Complaints of the Stomach, Spasms, Diseases of the Chest, and other internal irregularities.

BLAIR'S t*OUT arid RHEUMATIC PILLS. —This preparation is one of the benefits which the science of modern chemistry has conferred upon mankind; for during the first twenty years of the present century to speak of a cure for the Gout was considered a romance; but now the efficacy and safety of this medicine is so fully demonstrated, by unso• licked testimodals from persons in every rank of life, that pub lic opinion proclaims this as one of the most important dis coveries of the present age.
