The shallow proverb, Familiarity breeds

lenthusiasm. 1t has been thus with Hol.

operations IN the most desperate cases, the
more deeply sensible do we become Of tie value

claims Of greatness ii every department Of art
Or science, liiis popularity is boundless, and The
demand tnr his remedies might be called a
jarore, If IL were not founded on the solid basis
Of experience. In the seasons when dysentery
and diarrhpa prevail, the population Of whole
districts Id the South and West refuse to take
any other preparation than the Pills. The
resident physicians demonstrate with them in
vain. It is useless to tell the sick, who are
daily recovering strength, appetite, health and
chcerfulness, by the use Of this ~omnipotent
medicine, that it is an empirical Invention.
There every organ, muscle, nerve and fibre.
unite in giving the lie to the assertion. 1t is
the same with dyspepsia, liver complaint, and
in fact all internal maladies, without exception.
We do not stand alone in our appreciation
of the visalizing and restorative qualities of the
Pills. Almost every exchange paper we open
contains some anecdote Of their triumph over
disease, or Of the uplifting Of some deb litated
and hopeless invalid. from the lowest depths of
physical weakness and mental dependency, by
their aid. No other advertised medicines have
ever commanded such encomiums from the
medical, religious, political and independent
press, as Hollowayss remedies. Papers and pc
riodicals too tffigidly aristocratic even to pub
lish the advertisements ofthe ordinary nostrums
of the day, have earnestly commended The Pills
