HHollowav’s Pills.—Health or Wealth.— No sane person would hesitate an instant in the choice between these two condition®. Now is the season to secure the former either by restoring or confirming it. These Pills ex pel all impurities from the system which fogs, foul vapours, and variable temperatures en gender during winter ; this medicine also acts ! most wholesomely upon the skin by disgorging the liver of its accumulated bile, and by ex citing the kidneys to more energetic a :tion ; it increases the appetite for food and strengthens the digestive process. The stomach and liver, which most disorders originate, are fully under the control of these regenerative Pills, which act very kindly yet most efficiently on the tenderest bowels.—[Advt.]
