The public are very much like children in the
matter of fame. If you are constantly stretching forth your
hands for it, they will find a curious, half-spiteful pleasure in
putting away the previously offered wreath, while if you sit
down in a state of f
per ect indifference,
the chances are they
will come and crown you. —Eliza Cook's Journal.
[ADVERTISEMENT. I—Declaration of a Dutch soldier who
fought at Waterloo, cured by Holloway's Pills and Ointment.—
" I publicly state that Professor Holloway's Pills and Ointment
have cured me of several ulcerous sores, which had their
origin in imperfectly healed wounds received in the battle of
Waterloo. The pain was of constant duration, and I was con-
fined to my bed always during the harvest months. I have
now for two years been enjoying the best of health, solely is
consequence of using Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which
cured me in a very short time ; in gratitude for which I pub.
lish this testimony. (Signed) J. de Swart, of Lent, on Om
