HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.
Wor' et Known—Warld Tried!!
For strenp nening a debilitated constitution, these Pills
are more filcacious than any other medicine. Persons of
a nervous habit of body, and all who are suffering from
weak digestive organs, or whose health has become
deranged from whatever cause, should lose no time kr
giving these Pills a fair trial ; their action is immediate
beneficial, and lasting, restoring order, health, and vigo
n every ease.
For Disorders of the Liver, Stomach,
Kidneys, and Bowels.
These Purifying Pills are confidently reccommended as the
most simple and certain remedy for Indigestion, Flatulency
Acidity. Constipation, and all Disorders resulting from
disordered Stomach or Bowels. They act as purifiers,
alternatives, and strengtheners of the stomach. Though
powerfully tonic and satisfactorily aperient, they are mild
in their operation and beneficial to the whole system.
Weakness and Debility—Nervous Irrit a
bility and Low Spirits.
The wholesale effect exercised by these admirable Pour
over the Blood and Fluids generally, is like a oharming
dispelling low spirits and restoribg cheerfulness. The
general aperient qualities well fit them for a domestie
medicine, particularly for females of all ages and period of
life. They quickly eject all impurities from the system
and regulate every function of the body, giving wondcfull
one and energy to weak ad debilitatedeonstitutioxis.
Old Coughs, Colds and Asthmatic
Affections.
These pills, assisted in their action by rubbing Holloway"
Ointment very effectually twice a day on the Throat and
Chest, and keeping those parts covered with the
preparation, will be found the most effective remedy for
Asthma, Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, and Influenza. They
tranquillize the hurried breathing, soothe the irritated
air-tubes, and assisted in dislodging the phlegm which
stops up the air nassag.es. This treatment has proved won-
derfully efficient, in not only curing old settle coughs and
colds but even asthma of many years standing.
Complaints of Women and Children
Any mother, nurse, or young person guided by the direst
tions which accompany each box of Holloway's Pills, has
at once available means for checking disease. purifying the
blood, and expelling from the system all gross humours
