[ADVEILTISEMENT.j—HoIIoway's Pills and Ointinant.—
Dyspepsia, Jaundice.—These complaints are the results of
a disordered liver, which secretes bile- in quality or quan-
tity incapable of digesting the food. Digestion requlres a
free flow of healthy bile; to ensure which Holloway's Pills
and Ointment have longbeen famous for eclipsing every
other medicine. Food, irregularity of living, climate, and
other causes are constantly throwing the liver inte disorder;
but that important organ can, auger all circumstances, soon
be regulated and healthily adjusted by Holloway's Pills
and Ointment, which act directly upon its vital secretion.
The Ointment rubbed on the skin penetrates immediately to
the liver, whose blood and nerves it rectifies, and exercises
over it altogether the niost salutary influence without haras-
sing stomach or bowels.
