A WAN.
And a Universal Remedy for Disease.

This city is now the home of one Of the
most remarkable men of the age-a man
who has traversed the civilized globe, and
established in almost every country which
he has visited, the sale of his medicines
for the relief Of human sm6eri'sg, and
which are a certain cure for disease in all
its forms. We allude to PROF. THOMAS
eral years since this benefactor Of the
human race first proclaimed to the world,
through the British press, that he had,
after deep research, prepared a remedy
that was sure to eradicate disease. Years
of patient investigation into the laws of
human physiology whichcontrol ourbodies
in health and when diseased, led to the
invention and preparation of the world
renowned HoLLoWAY'S PILLS and ONT
MENT. Nearly, if not quite one half of
the human race have taken his medicines !
His name is universally known over the
globe as that of Alexander, Napoleon, or
Washington, when in the height of their
ambitious career. If they conquered ma
lions in the field of battle, Professor Hol-
loway has, with no weapon but that of
science, conquered disease in all its forms.
His m~eritorious career is bounded by no
imaginary lines of latitude and longitude
short of those marking the confines Of
civilization itself. No isolated country
or nation was sufficiently extensive for the
operation of his enterprising and gigantic
intellect. Wherever disease has q resi-
dence, there he penetrated with his medi-
cines, and left an enviable and enduring
reputation. After enlightening Europe,
his fame spread over Asia and the civil
lied portions of Africa, and finally ap-
peared in America. He has translated
the cures he has performed and the virtues
of his medicines into as many languages
as the missionaries have the Bible. Gov
ernments, otherwise the most ~despotic,
have been forced by the great value of his
medicines, and their popularity with the
people, to remove antiquated and time
honored restrictions upon the introduction
of foreign medicines, and open their Gus
tom houses to a free introduction of the
pills and ointment of this distinguished
man. Empires and Kingdoms removed
the barriers of ages against the introduce
ton and sale of proprietary or patent
medicines, and freely permitted Holloway's
medicines to become the physician of the
masses.-N. Y. Dispatch.

Our Sabiouf's Dumiiity.

Humility is one of the graces necessary to
constitute a christian. 1t gives power and
rigor To many other features of our holy reli-
yi.rn. The man. who has the religion Of
the Bible. is an humble man easy to be
cntreated, without malice or wrath. When
or Saviour first made his advent in
10 the world. he taught usa lesson of humii
.tv. Sec the house in which he WAS born
rirhold Him there lying in the nanger the
SoL of God; The Redeemer of the wur u. the
Source Of all happiness; the Fountain of all
Wisdom. and the Pussessor of all power !
What IL lesson Of humility are we taught |!
But lie Is "sul,jec unto HIS parents" The
son of God, subject to man; ruled by man,
aud more humbic, than even the creatures
which He himself made.
Pass on still farther aud while His follow

is hunimty ol the right kind.
But once more; The SON Of God is upon
His knees, bloody prrSpiration trickling down
His face and staining the ground and ver-
liant grass. T.m're i, humility o er which
angels miy yht wonder an devils treInhle /:
the Son Of The Most High lying low, and
praying in the solemn shades OF night, fo'
dan. Not only, so, but i'll every act OF His
life is that deep humility shown. lie wore
it upon His brow; it gl,terred in His eyes {;
il >parkled from His acts, and hung around
His person, rs the fruit upon fruitful vine
This is the kind OF hurniity we should all
have, and especially should all ministers OF
the Gospel have IL. That humility which
takes away the love of the world and the
applause Of men that humility which will
humble the minister, SO that he is not a>ham
ed nor afraid 10 get on both knees to pray !;
that humility, that will bring the man OF
God to his knees, 10y the poorest man in
the world, who is seeking the way to God,
and that humility which will enable him to
preach the Gospel at every opportunity.

We visited the grave Of q hero. His
name was inserted on the white marble tina,

standing near who inquired, "Wlto was hel"
Who was he! Why, he was the triumphant
leader of 4 battle, whose achievements were,
at the time, the subject of laudation for at
least nine days Forty Years, however, had
passed since then, and his name and deeds
were unfamiliar 10 one out of thousand of
his own coun'rymen. 1t is the common
fate of heroes. The world is too progressive
and fond Of change to keep in fresh remem-
