HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.
World Known—World Tried!!
For strengthening a debilitated constitution, these Pil
are more efficacious than any other medicine. Persons o
nervous habit of body, and all who are suffering frcUl
weak digestive organs, or whose health has becon g
deranged from whatever cause,. should lose no time r
giving these Pills a fair trial; their action is immediate
beneficial, and lasting, restoring order, health, and vigo X
in every case.
For Disorders of the Liver, Stomach,
Kidneys, land, Bowels.
These Purifying Pills are confidently reccorumended 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 Irrita-
bility and Low,Spirits.
The wnolesale effect exercised by these admirable Pour
over the Blood and Fluids generally, is like a charming
dispelling low spirits and restoring cheerfulness. The
general aperient qualities well fit them for a eiemestie
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 .wondefull
tone and energy to weak and debilitated constitutions.
Old Coughs, Colds and Asthmatic
Affections.
These pills, assisted in their action by rubbing Holloway's
Oadment 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 passages. This treatment has proved won-
derfully efficient, in not only curing old settle_ coughs and
colds, but even asthma of many years standing. •

PUBLIC NOTICES.
MINING AND ENGINEERING OFFICES,
22, GREAT GEORGE STREET,
WESTMINSTER, S.W
TO SPECULATIVE INVESTORS.
THE attention of those having a predilection
for tbat kind of speculative investment which,
while having but a nominal chance of loss, has every
prospect of realising huudreds per cent. on the outlay,
is advised to be given to the unparalleled opportunity
offered at the present moment by a judici us selection
of Cornish and Devon Mining Shares.
There are few persons who are altogether unaware of
the almost fabulous profits of Tin and Copper Mining,
but it is not so generally understood that in the distri-
:bution of those profits there are thousands of persons
who, on an original outlay of comparative insignificance
„-r-often only a few pounds, enjoy a substantial yearly
F revenue, Still less is it understood that, amnngst the
vast nnmber of progre,,sive mines throughout the two
iounties, there are always a great many in which shares
can be bought at a nominal price with almost a certainty
of sooner or litter realising enormous profits on the
outlay; but such is the fact, as is almost weekly demon-
strated by the astounding advances in price, often from
a few shillings to scores of pounds each. And it may
be fairly asked in what other branch of industry, .bow-
ever lucrative • is it possible for .£1 to fructify into
.Xl,OOO, as in the case of Devon Consols; while hundreds
vof other instances, not quite so notable, but still amazing
Aire actual facts. •
The finest advocate, however, Of mining is, bound to
'admit that, under the most favoured circumstances, it
can never be wholly devoid of speculation: indeed, from
the very nature 'of the pursuit, seeking after wealth
I which may or may not exist, uncertainty is ineeperable
from the most legitimate mining undertakingl; and it is
to be regretted that the term " adventure," by which,
up to a few years since, all young mines were described,
qies fallen into disuse. At the same time it is tpditiable,_
that the speculation attached to mining, at the presenk
time, is lessened by the improved state of cur knowledge
reSpecting the laws which regulate the formatiOn.on
mineral deposits ; and although th 4 knoWledge
limited, yet we are able to saY;-1/rOm general iinference;
Where we may seek for minerals ' with reasonible • hope
of success, and where search would he futile. I
Geology, like the more exact sciences is capable of
advancing scientific induction to true theories and reli-
able results; hence it follows that by a careful observa-
tion of the features which characterise rich deposits,
their identity with neighbouring speculations, and, an
elimination of all fanciful or enthusiastic preference, there
is no difficulty, to a competent person, to select from
amongst a number of young mines those which have
the most reliable prospect of success.
There was never, probably, in the history of mining
such's favourable moment for speculating in progressive
mines with prospects of enormously profitable realisation
as the present. For a- long time past the tfrrible de-
pression in trade, the absence of speculation as a con-
sequence of the late war-cloud, and the unparalleled de-
preciation in the price of metele (Tin having fallen from
£B5 to £35 per ton) have proved almost overwhelming
in their effect on metallic mining. Now, however, there
are unmistakable signs that the worst has been reached,
and that we are on the eve of a reaction which will en-
able enormous gains to be made by those who, having
spare capital, have the temerity to act contrary to the
old adage, "When things are high the public buy, but
I when they are low they let them go," but take advantage
of the present depressed prices. Those who do so may
feel assured they will make money rapidly, and to an
extent hardly conceivable in any other branch of in.
dnstry.
With these few particulars Messrs. Archer and Slack,
who are thoroughly acquainted with the subject, and who
have an intimate oonnection with all departments of
mining, beg to announce that they have selected two
mines, the Shares of which, now at a low price, the
believe may be safely bought for an early and great rise;
They will give the names of these mines on condition o.`
receiving a percentage of the profit realised by au
inveztment in them wi.Lin three months of purchasing.
This plan of remuneration, being dependant on success,
commends itself; -and gives the best guarantee of the
selection being judiciously made.
Messrs. Archer and Slack will be happy to communi-
cate with any one desirious of further particulars, and
will supply fully the grounds on which the expectation
is based. Address, Messrs. Archer and Slack, Civil
Engineers, as above.

ADVICE TO MoTnens I—Are you broken in your rest
by a sick child suffering with the pain of cutting teeth ?
Go at once to a chemist and get a bottle of Mee-
Wrwseow's SoOTHING SyRUP. It will relieve the poor
sufferer immediately. It is perfectly harmless and
pleasant to taste, it produces natural, quiet sleep, by
relieving the child from pain, and the little cherub
awakes "as bright as a button." It soothes the child,
it softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind,
regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for
dysentery and diarrbcea, whether arising from teething
or other causes. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup i 5
sold by Medicine dealers everywhere at is lid per
bottle. Manufactured in New York, and at 493, Oxford
Street, London. . .
CON:IIMPTION is CURABLE.—.-A certain method of cure
has been discovered for this distressing complaint by a
physician, who is desirous that all sufferers may benefig
from this providential discovery. It is beyond all doubt
the most remarkable remedy of the age. Thousand 3
