Whoa. WHATa AND WHEREFoREs
OR, a. k3
a FEW FACTS FOR THE INVALID

Have our readers ever heard of Professor
Holloway? Undoubtedly, they have, just @
they have heard of Humboldt, Arago, Oaf-
sIed, SiIlman, Agassiz, and other notable naen
of Learning. But have they ever asked them
selves irho and lchat he is? II they have no
definite information on that matter, we will
proceed 10 enlghien them. The Professor is
an English physician,a native of that coun.
try which produced Harvey, Hunter, Aber.
nsthy, land other .illsniaati~of medical sai-
ence. So much for the WHO; and now Tor
The WHAT. He is 10 other physicians what
Clay, Webster and Calhoun were 70 states
men, what ,Washinglon-revered name =
was TO patriots and generals, what Shak-
spere was to dramalsts, and Irving and, Chal.
mers TO preaehers,--viz: The greatest Of his
age and profession. His reputation has PEN
eualed the encIuslaliops of prejudice sur
mounted the barriers Of malice land he avow
e5ly stands alone, the, medical colossus OF The
world. 4 So, much for the WHAT, d..s4s ri
Wherefore do we speak Of him here.e II,
when our fellow counlrymen were dying by
thousands of yellow fever, al Norfolk and
Portsmouth, we had heard OF aremedy which
would arrest the progress Of the disease, and
stay lhe footsteps oil the spoiler, and we had
! naslooisd- TO communicate what -wonld
have been our desert Tsuly,, a very sum
mary punishment by Lynch law. For if
there be any duty more imperative than an
I other, it is this,--"to visit the sick in their
afiiction," and TO use every means for their
restoration 10 health. This is why we speak
Of Professor Holloway. Thistis our answer
to The wherefore. ,.i.,ds,..,r - q. f.,.
Years ago, when the Professor was much
| younger man than he is al present, his atlen-
lion was direcled TO the great disproporion
between the cures performed BY the physi-
clans, and those which they undertook 10
perform. He observed that not once in a
score Of cases were, they successful. Ilseem-
ed 10 him, either that medicine was mol wor.
thy The name OF sclence,--that il was mere
ly thing of chance, and therefore positive
injury 10 mankind, or that the Physicians
were ignorant Of the true healing All. Hav.
ing embarked on The study OF human physi-
ology, and understanding the pathology Of
diseases, he a'ishled upon the true reason ol
want of success, and made that discovery
which will immorlalize his name. To cure
disease, doctors treated II locally, topically.
Was it The kidneys that were deranged? Or
[ the liver? Or the stomach? Or the lungs
Slfaig hlway they proceeded 20 prescribe for
kidneys liver, lungs or stomach, not know :
ing that the evil was contained in the blood,
which feed lhos organs with its life giving
stream, and that 10 ares, the disease at its
very seat and centre, they should purify lha,
vital fluid, and leave the res, 10 nature. This
is the secret of DR.. Hollsway's astonishing
success in all parts of the world. He ruri6es
The blood and health follows. ........
Let any sick person, who has ''sufered
many things of many physicians" /" and OBJ
tanned no benefit, give heed 10 these word
or ours, and try HoIfoway's PiITs--if he is in
.ernaly afflicted, or Holloway's Ointment, il
he is suffering from wounds OF 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 10 rival his mammoth
I one in London.--U. S. Journal. ,-.
