I A DTERTISEMENT. Pills.—The Body's
Bulwark.—Nine-tenths of the maladies afflicting aluits
depend upon a disordered state of the stomach. Holloway's
pills correct the first symptoms of indigestion by acting
healthily on the gastric juice, and wholesomely exciting
the liver. They dispel flatulency in incipient indigestion,
and overcome heat, distention, and pain, attending more
advanced or neglected oases. These pills invigorate, and
soon restore the dyspeptic from the great and sudden de-
pression of strength always accompanying stomachic dis-
orders or biliary derangement. They beget cheerfulness,
vigour. and happiness. ha rectifying disorders of the
digestive apparatus these pills prove themselves the
promptest preventives of disease. They raise a bulwark
against all approaching maladies, and preserve freshness,
health, and life.
