1t may prove an advantage to our readers
0 call their attention TO our friend Dr. b. f.
WILLIAMS preparation of "Sarsaparilla and
Iodid of Potassium" which has proven itself
a good medicine and great benefit to mankind
This preparation cannot be classed in the cate
CORY of Patent Medicines of the day, as the
formula by which it is prepared is not kept a
secret, but is open to the inspection OF medical
men and Others, who may desire to know its
ingredients before prescribing or using it. 1t
would be the lest thing we should think of
doing, TO recommend medicine that possessed
no valuable medicinal qualities, and would fail
of producing happy effect upon the diseases
for which 1t is recommended; but we are con-
WINGED from cases coming under our knowledge
that have been cured in this city, that for in
digestion, dyspepsia, inflammation of the kid
neys, white swelling, ulcers, &c, that no better
preparation is now extant, and take pleasure
in calling public attention te this fact.
The good qualities of this medicine has al
ready made il popular in this and adjoining
States, aud so rapid It's sale that the Doctor
has been compelled to make arrangements for
enlargiug his mandatory, and otherwise ex-
tend his business facilities
Now afflicted reader we advise you to try
this remedy that you have the means of know
ing Of what it is composed in preference to
those compounds you know not of" that are
composed of highly stimulating but poisonous
materials. ..

THE BEGINNING OF THE END.

THE DEATH KNELL OF QUACKERY.
'Oh blessed health" erclams Sterne, "'tis
thou who enlargest the soul and openest all its
powers 70 receive instruction aud to relish virtue
he that has thee has little else to wish for; he that
s wretched 10 want thee, wants everything
with thee" The tru IN o. this apostrophe every
one must acknowledge; poor Sterne sIoke from
sad experience. Aud yet familiar as every man
is with the truth herein expressed no mortal could
compute the numbers who ruin themselves in BODY
MUD, and fortune by ueglecting TO employ the
proper remedies when health fsils. How is this
neglect TO be remedied! The evil has become 30
cOnsecrated by age, tina. the man who undertakes
70 amend it requires no Ordinary hardihood, such
man is Professor Holloway.
The honest ldborer 10 the cause OF humanity
finds no sad der discouragement, than 10 the CON-
placent Indifference with which people prefer
rather to endure long existing evil, than 10 in.
cur the trouble necessary to get rid of It, The
more aged an error has become, the more difficult
it is TO remove IT, This is true in an especial
manner Of the art of healing, as il was known and
practSed before the advent Of this wonderful ge,
Mus whose mission has been TO re>establish the
treatment of human ailments in rational way.
One by one the venerable abuses that have dis
graced the past are disappearing and among the
rest, the that have crept into medical prac-
tice have got their dsmissiOn papers, and are
obliged TO use a vulgar phrase, ITO cut and run"
Where, it may be asked, are the proofs? Proofsl
Why, there is one great patent, palpable fact,
which has been staring the world in the face for
the last twenty years, and working its wav through
popular prejudice into popular favor with a success
which is the most unquestonsbe evidence of its
power as a proof. The medicines of Professor
Holloway have been silently hut powerfully effect
iLg change in the science of physc which the
world itself has begun to wonder at. 1t is well
known thatthe causes of all the diseases and suf-
terings to which people subject are very few,
although their indications may be numerOusly
varied. The old plan of curing diseases was by
affecting their results without affecting their prima
~ causes Professor Holloway initiated a new
mode of treatment by the discovery of his Pills
and Ointment, which whilst Immediately graphing
with the ultimate symptoms, reach also to the
seat OF the disease and eradicate the first causes,
thus destroying all subs quent liability to similar
affections. We do not mean to praise these Pills
and Ointment. We cOnfHe ourselves to stating
facts, and perfectly satisfied that no eulogv is
needed. They speak for themselves.-AtobiieR eg.
