VINO WHAT AND WHEREFORE or
A far facfS for the Muaiid.--Have our
readers ever heard of Professor Holloway!
Undoubtedly they have, Ist as they have
heard of Humboldt, Atago, Oersted, Sill
man, Agasslz, and other notable men OF
learning. But have they ever asked
themselves who and What he is ? If they
have no definite information on that mat
Ter, we will proceed to enIighten them
The Professor is an English physician, a
native of that country which produced
Harvey, Hunter, Ahernelhy, and oIheI
Wuninati Of medical science, So much
for The WHO and now for tue WHAT. lie
is to other ply >icians what Clay, Web
ashnglon-revered name WAS to pa
triols and generals, what SHAKESPEARE
was TO dramallsts, and Irving and Chal-
mers to preachers, viz {: the greatest OF
his age aud profession, His reputation
has penetrated the demonstrations OF PreJu-
dice, suImounted the barriers of malice,
and he avow, div stands alone, the MED
ICAL COLOSSUS Of the world. So
much for The WHAT.
WHEREr,aE do we speak Of him here ?
If, when our fellow counlrymen were dy-
ing BY thousands, of yellow fever, al Nor
folk and Portsmouth, we bad heard OF a
remedy which would arrest the progress
Of the disease, and stay the footsteps OF

any duty more imperative than another, 1t
is This ITO visit Ihe sick IN their allie

restoration 10 heallh. This is why we
speak of Professor Holloway. This is
our ans wer to the WHEREFORE,
Years ago, when The Professor was a
much Younger man Than he Is at present,
his attention was directed 10 the great dis
proportion between the cures performed
by the Ply siclans, and those which they
undertook TO perform. lie observed that
not once IN score Of cases were they
sucressiui. 1t seemed 10 him, either thai
medicine was not worthy the name OF a
sclence,-lhat it was merely a ,hlhg OF
change, and therefore "A positive injury TO
mankind, or that the Physicians were ig-
Inorant of the true healing art. Having
embarked on the study OF human Physl~
ologv, and understanding the pathology
of diseases, he alighted upon the true rea-
son of want of success, and made that dis
covery which will immorlalize his name.
TO cure disease, doctors treated 1t To-

that were deranged! Or the liver ! Or
the stomach ! Or the lungs! Straight
way they proceeded to prescribe for kid
neys, liver, lungs, or stomach, not know
ing that The evil was contained IN the

disease al its very seat and centre, they
should purify that vital fluid, and leave
the rest 10 nature. This is the secre, OF

parts of the world. He pun6es The blood

Let any sick person, who has "suHer-

words of ours, and try Holoway's Pills
If he is internally afflicted, or Hollow
avs Ointment, if 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 extensive establishment in New York,
which promises to rival his mammoth one
