zaolEoway's Pills
WHY ARE WE SICK?

It has been the lot of the human race to be
weighed down by disease and suffering. HOL-
LOWAYiS PILLS are specially adapted to the
relief of the WEAK, the NERVOUS, the DEL
ICATE, and the INF1RM, of all chimes, ages,
sexes, and constitutions. Professor Holloway
personally superintends the manufacture of his
medicines in the United States, and offers them
to a free and enlightened people, as the best
remedy the world ever saw for the removal of
disease.
THESE PILLS PURIFY TIE BLOOD.
These famous Pills are expressly combined
to operate on the stomach, the liver, the kid
neys, the lungs, the skin, and the bowels, cor
recting any arrangement 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 has been proved in all parts OF
the world, that nothing has been foun equal
to them in cases of disorders of the liver, dys-
pepsia, 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-ILL HEALTH.
Many of the most despotic Governments
have opened their Custom Houses to the intro
duction of these Pills, that they may become
the medicine of the masses. Learned Col.
leges admit that this medicine is the best rene,
dy ever known for persons of delicate health
or where the system has been impaired, rs its
invigorating properties never fail to afford re-
