THE EMPIRE OF HEALTH-WHO
WIELDS IT'S SCEPTRE. s
Universal Empire has besn IL. d.rli,a

Universal Empire has bssn the darling
object OF scores Of dsspots, dynastise, and
states, from the time of the Pharaohs to
that of Napoleon k Grand. Seas of blood
have been she'd to attain It, and the bones
of the myriads who have been slaughtered
in the pursuit of this chimera, would, if
they could be collected into one mass,
ovsrtop the highest peak of f.the Himalay-
an mountains. Rome came nearest the
consummatien, yet even she was never, in
truth, the absolute Mistress Of the
sWorld."'. ssvz 49, s.a
7 Yet there is species of universal en-
pire which has been attained. 1t is an
empire not over the souls and bodies OF
mankind, but over their diseases. The
conqueror who has achieved this grand
result, is Doctor HOLLOWAY, of London
at least we are taught to believe that he
has done so by vouchers from all parts Of
fthe Christian and heathen world, which
| Seem to- be irreiutable, and which, in fact
| SO far as we know. have never been chal
lenged. His Pills and Ointment are
universal remedies in double sense
Fhey are disseminated throughout tn,
habitable globe, and they are ESQ "crowd.
Of witnesses" assure us) universally sac
cesstul. -.
In this country it is quite certain tina
the Pills are used with the most beneficial
effect in disorders of the stomach, live
and bowels, and that scrofula, and all th'
family of eruptive diseases and discharg
ling sores, give way to the healing opera
tion Of the Ointment.
l. Surely the noblest of all universal EN-
] pires is that which stretches its ,healin,
sceptre over the naaladies of. all nations
