[lnvEnTisnmErcri—Holloway's Pills and Ointment.—
The human body is made up of nerves, vessels, muscles, and
bone, all of which are formed from the blood, aided by the
glands. These Addison compares to a bundle of pipes and
strainers ; to cleanse and clear these of all obstructions and
all impurities is the art of medicine. Holloway's medica-
ments happily effect this object; not one of the infinitude if
pipes and strainers escape their purifying power. They
thoroughly remove all noxious matters, and expel all causes
of disease. They act most beneficially on every organ. The
Pills internally, and the Ointment rubbed over the glands re-
store vigour to the body, and cheerfulness to the mind. Hol-
loway's remedies arc specifics for indigestion, nervousness,
and daproasion.
