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. This is the greatest
medical triumph of the nineteenth century, therefore it is asto-
nishing that persons should suffer when a remedy is to be ob-
tained so readily. These Pills cure Bile, indigestion, Disorders
of the Liver, Complaints of the Stomach, Spasms, Diseases of
the Chest, and other internal irregularities.
Sold by all medicine vendors throughout the world; at
Professor Holloway's Establishments. 244, Strand, London, and
so, Maiden-lane, New York; uy A. Stamps, Constantinople; A
Guidicy, Smyrna ; and E. Muir, Malta.

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. These Pills require neither atten-
tion nor confinement, and are certain to prevent the disease
attacking any vital part. Sold by Prout and Hersant, 229,
