HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.
WHY ARE WE SICK

VIII AXE W SItk
ET has been the lot of the human race to be weigh
Il ed down by disease and suffering HOLLO-
WAYS PILLS specially adapted to the relief
Of the WEAK, the NERVOUS, the DELICATE.
and the lNtlkM' of all elimes, ages, sexes, and
constitutions. Professor Holloway personally SUI
perintcnds the manufacture of his medicines the
United States, and offers them to free and enlight
ened people, as the best remedy the world ever
for the removal of disease.
THESE PILLS PURIFY THE BLOOD
These famous Pills expressly combined to op-
crate on the stomach the liver, the kidneys, the
lungs, the skim and the bowels, correcting any de
rangement in their functions, purifying the blood,
the very fountain of life, and thus curing disease
in all its forms.
DYSPEPSIA AND LIVER COMPLAINTS
Nearly half the human race have taken these
Pills. 1t hds been proved in all parts of the world
that nothing has been found equal to them in cases
of disorders of the liver, dyspepsia, and stomach
complaints generally. They soon give a healthy
tone to these organs, however much deranged and
when all other means have failed
GENERAL DEBILITY. 1T HEALTH.
Many of the most despotic Governments have o.
pened their Custom Houses to the introduction of
these Pills, that they may become the medicine of
the masses. Learned Colleges admit that this
medicine is the best remedy ever known for per-
sons of delicate health, or where the system has
been impaired, as its nyigorating properties
fail to afford relief.
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.
No female young or old, should be without this
meulc1ne- II correctS and regulates the
monthly courses at all periods acting in many ca
ses like a charm. 1t is also the best and safest
medicine that can be given to Children of all ages
and for any complaint; consequently no family
should be without it,
