A Striking Smile.
THE HEALING WATERS.

Our readers will doubtless remember the mag
ic properties assigned to the River Lethe in the
Mythology OF ancient Greece. In those darker
ages superstition held predominant sway. and
usurped the minds of men. Immersion in its
waters was believed to cause forgetfuness of
past and present woes-the afflicted mind and
diseased body could alike throw off the trammes
that bound them. and being thus no longer the
slaves of mental or bodily enthralment finish
the rest of their days with Indifference to the past
and unalloyed anticipation tor the future.
But start not attentive reader when we tell
YOU with less fable, but far sterner fact that ace
have Lethe near our homes and hearths, whose
waters not occasionally but at all times flow in
one continuous stream of healing benefcence
Whether the affection emanate from the deep
seated core of long -negleced disease, or from
the ravages of maugnant epidemic, or again,
from long protracted habits of dissipation and
vice, there is at hand, within the easy grasp of
the poor sufferer, be he high or low, remedy
for his woes to which he can look for succor
We allude, in the above remarks. to the vastly
spread and mighty influence of the remedies
which bear the name of the world famed and re-
nowned Professor Holloway.
Countless thousands of every tongue aud cline,
daily hymn his praises, as having lifted them
from a bed of suffering and sorrow to new life
and re animated vgor
Be the malady hidden in the Utmost vitas of
the human frame, or evinced by superficial sores,
by sure, but gentle means, he eradicates the Sc
c,et evil, and dsperses to the winds the chronic
pen0m that has for years defed the Physician's
skill!
These are not idle words we utter, nor the Wis
ionary imaeinings of a fevered brain, but tho
stern realities of long-tried practice and unfaHng
issues.
The sulfrages of universal reclamation stamp
Holloway as the man. and his medicines as the
means that administer to the healing of the ma
