HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.
World Known—World Tried!!
For strengthening a debilitated constitution, these Pills
are more efficacious 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 tune in
giving these• Pills a fair trial; their action is immediate,
beneficial, and lasting, restoring order, health, and vigor
in every case.
For Disorders of the Liver, Stomach,
Kidn.eys,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 systerd.
Weakness and Debility—Nervous Irrita-
bility and Low:Spirits.
The wholesale effect exercised by these admirable Pour
over the Blood and Flatus generally, is like a charming
dispelling low spirits and restoring cheerfulness. The
general aperient qualities well tit them for a domestia
medicine, particularly for females of all ages and period of
life. They quickly eject all impuritiels 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
Ointment very effectually twice a day on the Throat arid
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,, csugns and
colds, but even asthma of many years standing.

Any mother, nurse, or young person guided by the dire.
tions which accompany each box of Holloway's Pills, has

MINING AND ENGINEERING OFFICES,
22, GREAT GEORGE STREET,
WESTMINSTER, S.W
TO SPECULATIVE INVESTORS.
THE attention of those having a predilection
for that kind of speculative investment which,
While having but a nominal chance of loss, has every
prospect of realising hundreds per cent. on the outlay,
is advised to be given to the unparalleled opportunity
offered at the present moment by a judicious 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
—often only a few pounds, enjoy a substautial yearly
revenue, Still less is it understood that, amongst the
vast nnmber of progressive mines throughout the two
counties, there are always a great many in which shares
can be bought at a nominal price with almost a certainty
of sooner or later 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, how.
over lucrative, is it possible for to fructify into
II £l,OOO, as in the case of Devon Consols; while hundreds
of other instances, not quite se notable, but still &mailing
are actual facts.
The finest advocate, however, of mining :a bound to
admit that, under the most favoured cironmstinces, it
can never be wholly devoid of speculation: indeed, from
the very nature of the pursuit, seeking after wealth
which may or may not exist, uncertainty is inseperable
Irons the most legitimate mining undertaking; and it is
to be regretted that the term " adventure," by which,
up to a few years since, all young mines were described.
has fallen into disuse. At the same time it is undeniable
that the speculation attached to mining, at the present
time, is lessened by the improved state of cur knowledge
respecting the laws which regulate the formation of
mineral deposits ; and although that knowledge is
limited; yet we are able to say, from general inference,
where we may seek for minerals with reasonable hope
of success, and where search would he futile.
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 a favourable moment for speculating in progressive
mines with prospects of enormously profitable realisation
as the present. For a long time past the terrible de-
pression in trade, the absence of speculation as a con-
sequence of the late war-clond, and the unparalleled de-
preciation in the price of metals (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
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-
dustry.
With these few particulars Messrs. Archer and Slack,
who are thoroughly acquainted with the subject, and who
have an intimate connection 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 of
receiving a percentage of the profit realised by an
investment in them within 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 desirioue of further particulars, and
will supply fully the grounds on which the expectation
is based. Address, Messrs. Archer and Black, Civil
Engineers, as above.
