Of medicine has made great progress.
Professor Holloway has discovered and

Nature, and among physicians, he stands
the acknowledged Emperor. Both in
the sale of his medicines, and in the
number Of bis patients that have taken
them, he is unrivalled. Professor Hol-
loway has labored to supply the human
family with q permanent remedy for
their diseases, to which the afflicted may
have recourse With moral certainty
that they will be cured. There is no
disease to which they will not afford
relief. His Pills and Ointments, pre-

In uniting in this general recommen-

Christian duty, which the press should
never neglect. Those who are eminent
INr tho good they do ia fhe world, have

Its glorious impress to his feeble page.
Yet on the humble and the contrite heart
God stamps bis word. The lowly worshipper
Who doth unvel his spirit to His eve,
And pray for mercy from His throne on high,
Hath all thy nysteies--and he may teach
Philosophers what they would never learn,
With all their divinations and their lore.
