most important question. Shakespe re, on poisons, an-
ticipating the Hygeian system of James Morison, the
Hygeist—
" The leperous distillment ; whose effect
Holds such an enmity with blood of man,
That, swift as quicksilver, it courses through
The natural gates and alleys of the body ;
And with a sudden vigour, it doth posset,*
And curd, like eagert droppings into milk,
The thin and wholesome BLOOD."
Hamlet, Act 1., s. 6.
Issued by the British College of Health, Euston-road,
London; for the Society of Hygeists.

[ADVERTISEMENT ]-1101loway'R Pills —To Nervous
Suff,,rers.—Nervousness, so called, has been rail to arise
from foul blood or a guilty conscience. When te first is
the origin the offered may be cheered by the knowledge
that a course of Holloway's Pills will dissipate both cause
and effect. Many nervous maladies of I,ng durvi" have
afforded the most remarkable recovoles under ,hots
purify-
ing Pills; they have assuaged sufferings of the severest
character, and steadily restored the afflicted to comfort,
confidence, and health, after change of climate and every
means had signally failed. Holloway's Pills renew the
lost appetite, and conduct digestion without permitting
those feelings of fullness, flatulency, distention, faintness,
and palpitation, which seem to threaten instant death to the
timid and enfeebled.
