A Card 10 Il,c PuhIic.

For many years we have made two
medicines suited to the ailments of a
vast class of sufferers. Thousands of
cures have been made by them, and,
in fact, the word failure could not be
coupled with them. But within the
last two years counterfeits of our med
lcInes have sprung up, danger
Gus in their close imitation of our
trade mark. To secure tho people
we have placed upon each genuine box
of Holloway's Ointment the fac sin'ile
of the signature of our agent, MIR. Jos.
Haydock. To counterfeit is felony.
We shall relentlessly pursue anyone
who initiates this with the utmost Wig
or of the law. We most earnestly beg
that the great mass of the American
people will aid US in our efforts to pro-
tect their health and help US in our
task of bringing these most unprinci-
pied men to the bar of justice. Uni
formly refuse to purchase medicines
purporting to be ours unless Mr.. Jos.
Haydock's signature is attached to
each box of Pills or pot of Ointment,
and the end will soon be reached.

ENCOURAGEMENT for the Fee BILE.

Debility, whether it be inherent, or
caused by overtaxed strength, or pro-
tracted illness, has q most depressing
influence upon the mind. breeding an
abject melancholy nearly akin to de-
spair, and enforcing the abandonment
of cherished projects and high hopes.
Happily, the enfeebled system, even IN
extreme cases, lie susceptible of invigo-
ration. 1t is proved by lncontroverti-
BILE evidence that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is en- unfailing strengthened of
the weak, and that in addition to
vitalizing the physical organization, it
establishes regularity among those or
gans upon Whose efficient discharge of
the duties imposed on them by nature,
continued vigor and health depend.
Thousands of instances might be cited
to show the regenerating influence of
this health-giving agent in cases of de-
bility. liver disease, dyspepsia, nervous
ailments, constipation, intermittent
fever, urinary and uterine troubles,
