HqeuAvay’s Pills. —The extraordinary ~*change of temperature prevailing in our climate is extremely trying to the delicate-chested, the i'l'ypaX and hervous. All troubled by these afflictions should resolve to resort to the strengthening and legulating medicine immedi jjj.ately.they perceive in themselves discomfort of . that feeling of restlessness which betokens dis ordered digestion and defective secretion of ■' bile. One of Holloway’s Pills taken about noon and followed at bed-time by a dose suffi ciently large to act apperiently will speedily V.recruit the faulty functions, and restore order 'throughout the whole system. A treatment so safe in operation and so successful in result should be known and practised when, from cold and sundry other causes, disease is at . tempting,to gain a vexatious footing.—Advt.
