Swarming of the Medical
Hives.
CONSOLATION FOR THE sICl

Considering the enormous number of young
NJ. DPS that cur medical colleges thru out
every year, We certainly ought, (if there
be any virtue in regular physicking,' to be
a much healthier people than We are. But
the bills of mortality do not shorten as tn"
list of do. tors leagthems. Quite the reverse !!
s we saw, then, with Macb.ih "Throw
physic to'the dogs, f'li~none of it?" No, that
will not do. Nature, when attacked Ivy dis
ease, needs an ally to sustain her. An ALLY
remember not depicting agent, that helps
the disease and exausts her energies. We
verify believe that most OF the drugs admin
istered in acute di seases have this effect
Such, however, is not the operation of one
medicine now generally used in this country
for complaints of tn stomach, liver, and
bowels. We mean Holloway Pills. Or
course our readers are aware that both the
Ointment and Pills which bear that distin
guished ysiaian and phianthropist' name
are in the highest possible repute all over
the world; but We have only had an op
portunity to witness the effect of the Pills.
1t gives us pleasure to testify to their effica-
cy. In dyspepsia and liver complaints they
unqucstonahly work the most marvellous
cures. Nay, we will even go so far as to say
that, with this remedy within their reach. no
man nor women need-vcr be troubled with
j spepsia. The pills remove the distress at
the stomach, and restore the strength and ap.
petite with rapidity that is really aStonish-
| ing. The curative action seems to be the
same in all cases, without reference to age
constitution or sex. Snch, at least is the
conclusion to which onr experience and OBJ

cedent for Presbytery to allow any people
