he was a kind-hearted man, abounding with eccentricities

duced from his unwieldy instrument were wonderful, and to
this he added great and rapid execution. The ends °fl hio

lodging consisted of a bedroom, sitting-room, and a vac%

white dolls,

call his wife, and she used to travel with him sometimes to
the festivals. He and Lindley generally journeyed togs

{ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's pills are the DinSt
gentle, yet most effective aperients, and therefore betto•
calculated for a family medicine than any other drug. TheY
always set the stomach right, rouse the liver, stimulate the
kidneys, and thoroughly cleanse the whole system. Hollo-
way's pills are most useful in chronic weaknefis of the
stomach induced by luxurious living, sedentary habits, or
other causes. They have restored the emaciated to health
after every ether means had failed. While they are purify'
ing they are strengthening, while regulating they are ia"
creasing net vous and muscular power, These pills do rici
excite any violent action in the body—hence they are spe-
cially suited to the young and feeble, whose constitutions
may be irretrievably injured by more powerful medicines.
