 The mortality among children born in A. merican cities, bears an immeasurably higher ratio to the whole mortality than in any of the cities, even the most unhealthy, in the Eastern Hemisphere. The deaths resulting from i'm proper medical treatment and lack of prompt attention aud care, are higher among the adult population in this country, than in any other country, savage or civilized Throughout these United States of America (God bless them ! there is not one household ill a hundred that has not it's graves.
 People may well begin to take this solemn fact to heart, and ask, is this always to be y- We justly pride ourselves on our superior intel ligence, but is it not hunating to us be obii- ged to acknowledge that through our own over sight and careessness, life has become shorter and more uncertain umong Us than with any other people! Let us pause moment to in- quire how this awful mortality is produced.
 The women of this country are proverbial for the implicit reliance which they place on pro fessional skill in all the diseases and ailments to which they are subject. For reasons which we do not purpose here, to discuss, the inevitable consequence is, that women are always i'll, or nearly so, and their children, ill whom the ef- fects of that illness are perpetuated, are con- stitutionally affected, so that for them proong- cd life, in d majority of cases is sheer impos- sibi.ity, short of miracle. Again, the ex- tremes of temperature in this country are so far apart, and variations occur so suddenly, that without some means of maintaining the system, in wellbalanced condition, that is, without some means of preserving the blood pure, and keeping it at an equable degree of heat, standing good health is utterly beyond attainment,
 Then comes the momentous question, where shall We obtain that grand desideratum" which is to avert illness, or to remove it ill all these cases? Innumerab!e nostrums have been proposed, and the more high-sounding their Erctensions the more complete has been their failure The only universal remedies for disease that have stood the test of time, that have served alike the lofty and the lowly ; that have elicitcd the unqualified enconiuns of the high est medical talent that have received the ap- proval and patronage of Royalty, even that have laid three Continents under obligation {; that have never yet been pronounced ineifica- cious by those who used them that have nev CT yet failed to benefit the sufferer /; are Hol- loway's Pills and Ointment. This is no high flown aud exaggerated eulogy it is plain statement of fact. We have no interest in pufiug Professor Holloway or his medicines.-- They need no such equvocal recommendation as that. Wehave an interest in the welfare of humanity and so has he. He isa cosmopol- tan Ca citizen of the world) his sympathies are confined to no cline or race. Every man is his ncighhor and therefore he feels bound to do good to him as far as he can. And how can he render him better service than by bestowing on him the greatest of all blessings HEALTH His medicines have already met with most enviable appreciation iu this coun- try But they cannot be too widely diffused. Every man and woman is liable to sickness :; therefore every man and woman should have these Pills for complaints of the system, and this Ointment for local aiflctions, such as wounds aud sores. Every family should be furnished with both How could better provision be made for the year ju't begun than to provide against the msfortunes of ill health aud the thousand and one other evils that follow in it's train N.
