AN ASTONISHING MAN.
FAMED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

New York and London are now tho gre.t
manufacturing depols for Holoway's Pill.
and Ointment. From No. 80 Maiden Lane,
this city, and No. 244 Strand, London, are
sent forth, daily, millions of boxes and poi.
of these inestimable medicines. The heavy
duty imposed by our government upon pat
ent medicines, aud the large and constantly
increasing sale of Holloway's Pills and Oinl-
ment in this country, determined The propri
elor 10 make this city his residence. Our
republican system of government, is also in
harmony with the predictions OF Professor
Holloway; and though Kings and Empsrors
have conferred upon him .honors and espe-
cial favors these will never be SO gratifying
10 lin as The grateful hearts of millions of
free citizens, who without any endorsement
OF sovereign authority, freely patronizs his
celebrated remedies for the prevention and
removal of disease.
Asa member of the medical faculty, hav-
ing long witnessed the inefficsncy of The
profession in curing disease, and being ia.
miliar with the errors and follies Of the pro.
fsssion, we feel it an imperative duty TO ac-
quaint The American public with the arrival
OF this distinguished physician in our city
His fame, in measure, preceded HIM 10 our
shores, but the exten. OF the good he has
done in the world has never yet been pro.
claimed 10 an American public. Great az
his reputation is, ii is destined to increase far
beyond that which ever adorned the charao.
ter of any man whose profession was ,ha, of
healing the sick
We shall embrace other occasions to sX.
plain to the American people the system, the
theory aud mode Of cure adopted by Professor
Holloway. His Pills and Ointment, the one
taken internally, and the other applied exisr.
nally, aoi in harmonious conjunction, and il
his directions are followed, WI eradicate sv.
cry disease incident TO man in all climes.--
They purify and cleanse the body, and restore
healthy action in every organ. Our space
will not permit us TO say more at this time
respecting this distinguished man and his
celebrated remedies. He has one ambition,
and il is an honorable one He wishes 10
have tbs world for a patient; and be will
succeed in his desire.
lis our object 10 address The American
public in series Of articles, showing con.
cusively that, in The whole history OF msdi-
cal science, no medicines have ever been Of
fered for their use which are so efficscious
in restoring health and preventing disease ss
those of Professor Holloway. In this seriss
of articles we shall necessarily explain much
of the human system, and those physlologi-
cal laws of life controlling our bodies, both
in health and disease. Tue American pub
lie are sufficiently intelligent to judge OF their
own interests, and ii is no longer in The pow.
er of those styling themselves regular physi.
ciars to conceal from them important truths
concerning their heath.-New York Citizen.

Boarding the Lion.

The Grand Duke Constantine seems TO have
some OF the vigor aud boldness OF his father,
the Emperor Nicholas 1t is stated in Paris
paper, the Pays, in letter from St. Peters
burg, that in a Council of War he proposed
10 arm and equip the whole feet Of Crons-
ad,, Revel, and Sweaborg, 10 embark co.
900 men of picked troops, to make sail at a
propitious hour, TO fjrce passage through
the allied squadrons, or await their depart
ure, and the filomGr--hey LEFT tho Baltic 10
effec, landing in Scotland or England. The
Empress opposed the enterprise, and the En-.
peror hearkened 10 his wife's advice. II is
said, however, that he has again advised it,
and that his idea is that he could sack and
burn London, or bury himself or his troops
under the smoking ruins under the first COM
mercal cities of the world. This may be
only the gossip Of newspaper correspondents,
but if Russia had anything like the resolution
and fearlesness which animated the little
Dutch republic of Holland in 1866, the Lon.
don merchants might be thrown into as great
an excitement as when The fearless DeRuyler
secured the English channel, and anchoring
off the mouth Of the Thames, offered battle to
lhe British fleet. But the Dutch have enter.
prise the Russians have none. Holland was
a republic; Russia Is despotism. This po-
litical ditference may account for the enter.
prise OF one, and the present apathy OF the
other. A nation without enterprise will new.
er be the masters Of The word.-Ledeer.

A Million Of Men In the Field

The present struggle between Russia and
her enemies, says the New York Herald, has
we dare say, drawn off million Of men from
the avocalionso or pasiimes of peace, who are
now in the field, in the bloody business of
war, TO say nothing of the thousands sacrifi-
ced already 10 this Unsuitable Moloch. A cir
cular printed at Vienna, estimates the Turk.
ish and Allied forces at 3O9, 900 men, with.
out including the Turkish army of $4,000
men on the banks of the Danube. The emu.
meraion is thus made up:
Under Omer Pasha, $4,000
Al Kars, $4,000
Erzeroum and Trebizond, 20, 900
In the Crimea, on the Tchernaya, $4,000
Enpatorla, &c, 900
kerlsch, 16 900; Kinbnrn, 10000, $4,000
On their way TO the Dnieper, 25 600
Sebastopol, 5000; pasiax, 10000, $4,000
Total, 100000
Add Turks on the Danube, $4,000
And we have a grand total of $4,000
And this does not include the Allied naval
forces of the Baltic and Black Seas, and The
Sea of Azof, which will probably foot up
another item of at least fifty thousand men.
On the olher side, Russia has about 2OO,.
600 men in The Crmea, perhaps so 900 about
the Caspian, Kars and Turkey on lae south
shore of the Black Sea, 100 900 at and about
Ncolaieff, 10000 at Odessa, and perhaps
200, 900 at ST. Petersburg, CroIsladt, Swea-
borg, Heslnsfors and the Baltic coasts gen.
era lily, with reserve in Poland, and detached
squads scattering around her vast frontiers,
equal TO 200,0 1000 more. These figures, if
summed up and added to the forces of the
Allies, will give us over million of men ap-
propriated to the humane occupation of cut.
ting each others throats, aud destroying by
fire, sword and bomb-shells the homes, the
hopes and the happiness of millions of help
less woman and children. And all apparent.
ly resulting from a puerile quarrel conceru-
ing the Holy Places of Jeru salem.
We can now believe that the thirty years
war in Germany originated from dispute
about well bucket that the first French rev.
ulu:ion was recipitated by diamond neck
lace, and that the British fleet lately detailed
to this side the Atlantic was for the express
purpose of arresting Russian privateers and
the Irsh-Amcrican revolutionary expedition
destined for Dublin. "What great fire a
