THE DISTINGUISHING GENIUS OF THE


Nature, now and then, brings forth such
geniuses as Newton, SHAKESPEARE, Taleyrand,
Milton, Nelson. Napoleon, Washington,
Franklin, Jefferson, Luther, Cromwell and
Jackson. Their powerful intellects CON-
PEELED the world to admire them.
The genius Of the present age is DIsCov-
ERy. In the progress Of the arts and scien-
ces, this age is mmeasurably superior to any
former one. The present century stands
pre-cminent for its wonderful di covcries in
the sciences and arts. Among these, the
noble science of Medicine has made great
progress. PROFESSOR HoILowAY has discov-
cred and prepared remed, for the diseases
of man in whatever cline destiny may have
given him birth. We have, in n former
article, introduced to our readers this dis
tingushed physician, whose reputation is
already engratted on the worlds history. AS
physician, lfs has copied Nature, and among
physicians be stands the acknowledged En-
peror. Both in the sale of his medicines,
and in the number of patients that have
taken them, he is uprivalled. Professor
Holloway has labored TO supply the human
family with permanent remedy for their
diseases, to which the afflicted may have re-
course with a moral certainty that they will
be cared There is DO disease TO which they
will not afford relief Ills Fills and Oint-
ment prepared from selections from the
vegetable kingdom, with great care, will
drive disease out of the system. Thousands
Of the most intelligent minds OF all nations,
men distinguished in every sphere of life
the statesman, philanthropst, conqueror, and
those whose highest aim is to do good to
their fellow men, unite in their praises of the
remedies discovered by Professor Holloway
for the removal of disease.
In uniting in this general recommendation
of the remarkable virtues Of Holloway 's
remedies We only perform Christian duty,
which the press should never neglect Those
who are eminent for the good they do in the
world have just claim upon the press for
aid in extending the good to the extent OF
their power. Therefore. we have determined
to express our opinion that HoLIOwAY's
