was assaulted by the actor. On this a threefold charge was
made against the latter— first, of having incited another to

cited another to commit a breach of the peace ; and, thirdly)

also included in the charge as bearer of a cartel, but was
acquitted on the ground that he had not spoken of any kind
of deadly weapon in communicating the challenge; but the

Misapplication Impossible.—lt is quite possible, and very
probable, that mistakes may occur in selecting the right
drug from the long list in the pharmacopcoia, but Hollo-
way's medicaments must be beneficial in all diseases, by
reason of their purifying, invigorating, soothing, and heal-
ing powers. The Ointment is as well adapted for internal
maladies as for external ailments, When rubbed upon the
skin, it penetrates to the underlying organs, over which it
invariably exercises the most salutary control by moderat-
ing or increasing activity, as circumstances may require.
In all chronic cases Holloway's Pills should be taken
whilst his Ointment is used, as they strengthen the sto-
mach, purify the blood, invigorate the nerves, and give
general OW.
