Who? What? and Wherefore? +?

AFEW FACTS FOR THE INVALID.
Have our readers ever heard of Professor
Holowayi Undoubtedly they have, just as
they have heard of Humboldt, Arago, Oersied
Liliman, AgaSsiz, and other notable men OF
learning. But have they aver asked them
sel,es mho and tctat he is If they have no
definite information on that matter, we Will
proceed 10 euliehten them. The Professor is
an Engls sh physician, native Of that coun-
try which produced Harvey, Hunter, Aberne-
thy. and other iAuminati of medical science.
So much for the WHO; /; and now for the WHAT.
He is to other physicians what Clay, Webster
and Calhoun were TO statesman, wha, Wash
incton-reverend name!-was 10 patriots and
Senerals,-What Shakespeare was 10 drama
lists and Irving and Chalmers 10 preachers
viz: the greatest of his age and profession.
His reputation has penetrated The encruSla-
TONS of prejudice, surmounted the barriers oil
malice, and he avowedly stands alone, the
MEDICAL COLOSSUS of the world. So
much for the what.
WHEREFORE do we speak Of him here! II,
when our fellow country were dying by ihou-
sands, of yellow fever at Norfolk and Ports
mouth. we had heard of remedy which would
arrest the progress of the disease, and stay
the footsteps of the spoiler, and we had ne
elected TO communicate il, what would have
been our desert, Truly, very summary
punishment by Lynch law. For if there be
anv duty more imperative than another. 1t is
this,-..lo visit the sick in their aictIon, and
10 use every means for their restoration to
health. This is why we speak of Professor
Holloway. This is our answer TO the wnLnE-
rom,
Years ago, when the Professor was much
Younger man than he Is at present his a'ien-
ton was directed 10 the srea, disproporuon
between the cures performed by the PhySi-
clans, and those which they undertook to per
form. He observed that not once in a score
of cases were they success sStul.. 1t seemed to
him. either that medicine was not worthy the
name Of a science,-that II was merely
thing Of chance and therefore a positive injn-
~ to mankind. or that the Physicians were
ignorant of the true healing art. Having en-
bark.d on the study Of human physiologv,and
understanding the pathology Of diseases, he
alighted upon the true reason of want Of sue
mor,sllze his name. To cure a disease, d"t-
tors treat IL locally, ,iorlcally. W as 1t kidneys
that were derangedi Or the lver' Or the
sromachr Or the lungSt Srraightway they
proceed to prescribe for kidneys, liver. lungs,
OF stomach, not Knowing tid' 'h' ''H was
contained in the blood. which fed those organs
with lis lIfe-giving stream. and thpt 10 arrest
the disease al its very seat and centre, they
should purify that vital fluid, and leave the
rest TO nature. This is the secret of DR.. Hol-
lowlv's astonishing success IN all parts cf the
world. He purifes the blood and health fol-
lows.
Let any sick person.who has"sufsrei many
things of many physicians, and obtained no
benefit. give heed To these words Of ours. and
try Holloway's Pills--if he is internally atiic-
ted or lloloway's Ointment, II he is suffering
from wounds or sores. He will thank us for
our advice. and rejoice that the Professor has
arrived in this country. and opened an exien-
sIve establishment IN New York, which pro-
miscs 10 rival his mammoth one in London
