rADVERTISEMENT.I—HoIIoway's Pills.-Thousands of
incidents might be cited in which general debility of
spirits, and nervous irritation, the consequences of
dyspei.sia or indigestion, have yielded to a short course of
this alterative medicine. These pills soon give tone to
the stomach, renovate the digestive powers, purify the,
blood, and give strength to the whole system. Sluggish-
ness of the body and depression of the mind are succeeded ,
by a cheerful activity of the physical and mental functions.
Indigesticn is the parent of so many evils, and is so com-
mon,,
so universal a complaint, that it is a great blessing
such a remedy as this invaluable medicine should hav6
been discovered. No one need long suffer from indiges:.
tion with these pills at hand,
