Holloway's Pills.—Factory Operatives and Workers m Manufactories. —Theremark able remedies which have been discovered and prefected by Thomas Holloway, and which for more than forty years have been successfully used in every quarter of the globe, are especially useful in all the mani fold ailments which afflict those who by reason of their occupations are confined for years, or all their lives, in crowded buildings and workshops. Holloway's Pills and Oint ment are associated remedies, the former restoring the vital powers Avhen diminished, and always' acting as an efficient blood purifier, whilst the latter relieves local maladies and checks inflammation, and acts as a cleansing and healing agent in cases of bad legs, bad breasts, ulcers, and unhealthy sores of all kinds. "Keating's Powder" destroys Bugs Fleas, Motha, Beetles, and all other insects, whilst quite harmless to domestic animals. In exterminating Beetles the success of this powder is extraordinary. It is perfectly clean in application. See the article you mirchase is " Keatin«'s," as imitations are 'oxious and ineffectual. Sold in Tins, 6d, Is and 2s 6d each, by all chemists. The Best Remedy for Indigestion— Norton's Camomile Pills are confidenty recommended as a simple remedy foi Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all ( the diseases to which we are subjects Norton's Pills, with justice called the 'Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach," act as a powerful tonic and gentle perient, are mild in their operation, and safe under any circumstances. Sold in bottles, at Is l^d, 2s 9d, lis, by all medicine vendors throughout the world."

THE Standard-bred "American Trotting Stallion, GENERAL TRACEY, is full brother to the well-known performer, Ken tucky, being by Berlin (imp.), dam, Jenny Tracey (imp.) This mare was imported by Mr Robert Wilkin, but before leaving America, Hiram Woodruff, a great authority m trotting, drove Jenny Tracey a mile in 2min. lSJsecs. He also used to drive Ber lin's full brother, Mambrino Dudley ; and Mr Woodruff says in his book on trotting, "If ever there was a horse which could trot a mile in 2 minutes, Mambrino Dudley could before seeing so much stud duty.
