Theory OF DIsEAsE-.And its Simple
Method Of Cure.-It is not our object, al
this time, to 90 into detailed explanation
of Professor Holoway's ,heurT of disease,
but simply to inform the American peo-
pie that one Of the most remarkable men
of this or any former age is among them,
and that his medicines have celebrity
unprecedented in the annals of the world.
There is no charlatanry in his pretensions.
Unless all the civilized world are deceived,
The Holloway's Pills and Ointment will
drive from the human system, under the
most unlayorable circumstances, and IN all
climes. Other men have sPrang into an
ephemeral noioriety by advertising their
remedies. Like butterflies Of the day
they have buzzed for while and then ex-
PRED; both their medicines have sunk in
to an obscuriiy from which they never
emerged. Others have met with a limit
ed success, perhaps as much as they de-
served. No man, though he mag have
the wealth of CIesus, can long deceive
an intelligent people with a worthless
remedy for disease. If health follows
the administration of a remedy for disease,
almost without an exception though 1t is
prescribed in million Of instances, and
in all forms of disease, all the doctors on
the globe could not make the people be-
lieve that it was not a good remedy, or
that the inventor was not public benefac-
tor, and no empire or charlatan. Profess
sor Holloway's remedies occupy this
position before the citizens of the world.
The inventor is man Of enlarged powers
of mind, who has seen disease in all its
forms ,and in all the climates of the world.
His medical office in London was daily
thronged with patients TO such an extent
that police force was necessary to be
stationed at his door. But an office prac-
lice afforded too narrow field for the ex-
ercise of his expansive intellect, and he
determined 10 be the worlds physician.
All countries have had their celebrated
physicians; England has had an Aberne.
thy, France a Magendie, and America a
Rush; but these mems ambition only ex-
tended 10 a practice confined 10 a narrow
circle Of friends and admirers, or the su.
perin,endencv of medical hospital.
Professor Holloway has chosen the globe
as theatre for his practice, and though
now a resident of Republican America, he
is prescribing daily for hundreds of thous-
ands on the four quarters Of the globe.
His medicines are expressly designed
to act on the organs whose functions are
so essential TO health. They operate on
ihe stomach, liver, kidneys, lungs, and
skin, restore their deranged functions OF
uses, and thus purify and cIense the blood,
the very fountains of life.-NeU York
Sunday Times.

Miller, the Cumberland Murderer.

As some of the villanies Of this man,
Miller, have been committed in this city,
we think the following article from the
Somerse, (Pa) Herald and Wing, will
prove interesting:
"rhe iniquilies Of Miller who has been
convicted of the double murder a; Cum
berland appear TO be manifold. We are
informed by a young German, (Henry
HouselelD who resides on the outskirts OF
our borough, that this man Miller. (who
STAYED at the house Of the falher-in-law OF
Housefel for some time during The sum-
mer,) is the same person who made the
attempt to nveigle into his room, and rob
and perhaps murder jeweler in Pitts
burgh, some months since by means OF
trap door which he had cut in the floor, and
from hence he constructed spout lead
ing into pit in the cellar. A full account
of the affair appeared in the Pittsburgh
papers at the time The discovery of the
trap only being made after Miller had lei!
the city. From Pittsburgh where he had
swindled relative of Housefslt out OF
some money, and from whom perhaps he
learned something of Henry himself, he
came to this place-made his acquaint.
ance on the strength Of his knowledge OF
his relatives, and was invited 10 his house
to remain over night.
He represented himself as famous
German doctor in present embarrassment,
but having jus, received foreign draft for
considerable sum of money, which ne
was Fastening 10 Baltimore to cash, and
won the entire confidence of con6ding
counlrymen. Shortly before bed time he
produced white powder, which he mixed
with some water, and declared made a
most refreshing and invigorating drlnk,m-
ducing Housefelt, his wife and two men
who were working for him TO partake OF
it. Shortly after refining 10 bed, Henry
became dreadfully sick, aud was seized
with violent wretching and vomiting, which
lasted during the entire night-his wife
and the two Others who drank of the pc.
ton were similarly affected, except that in
the case of the woman, although dreadful.
Ily sick, no vomiting ensued. On getting
up in the morning Miller insisted that the
sickness was TO be attributed 10 some Gu
cumbers which the family had eaten on
the previous day, and directed tina. bowl
Of milk be given to Mrs. H., which reliev-
ed her for the time, although she consln-
ued sick for some days.
"Housefell is sober, industrious young
man, possessed of few hundred Collars
which he has earned. and this. Miller hav-
ing learned from his relatives when with
them, was doubtless the booty he was al
ter. Henry is satisfied in view OF the at
ter murders committed by Miller, that II
was poison he administered to his family
we are inclined 10 think, however, 1t was
merely an opiate, he intending TO rob The
house while its inmates were under lis IN
fluence. BE that as il may, however, ne
made narrow escape with his money anc
his life, and the circumstances all go 10
show the reckless, desperate and harden
ed character Of The wretch who will soon
expiale all his crimes upon the gallows."
