[ADVERT] sEttEwr.)—Holloway'sPills.—Nothing Better.
These invaluable pills exert a greater and more beneficial
influence over nervous disorders than any other medicine.
Their mode of action is thoroughly consonant with reason.
They completely purify the blood, purify both head and
stomach of all faulty functions, and expel all oppressive
accumulations from the bowels, With the blood purified
and all poisons purged from the system regularity must
prevail throughout the body, aches and pains roust cease,
healthful energy must supplant weariness, and. the shaky
nerves must regain their wholesome tone. A c?urse. of
these pills eradicates low spirits, nervous I.xettabillty,
hysterics, neuralgic twitches, and other derangements de-
pendt'ut Ott nervous maladies, which every considerate per-
thus certainly remove.
