Holloway's PiLLsl^Pure Blood.—When the blood is pure, its circulation calm and eqnable, and the ncrvps well strung, we are well. These Pills possess a marvellous power in securing these essentials of health by purifying, regulating, and strengthening the fluids and solids. Holloway's Pills can be confidently recommended to all persons suffering from disordered digestion, or worried by nervous fancies, or neuralgic pains- They correct acidity and heartburn, dispel sick headache, quicken the action of the liver, and act a*' alteratives and gentle aperients. The weak and delioate may take them without fear. Holloway's Pills are eminently serviceable to invalids of irritable constitution, as they raise the action of every organ to its natural standard, and universally exercise a calming and sedative influence. We have sometimes heard it remarked that Messrs Craighead and Berryman charge rather high prices for their suits. I is evident from the number of hands in the r employ that they do by far the largest tailoring business in Ashburton, and as they employ the best workmen and pay the highest wages their customers do not expect their clothes at "sweating" ratee ("cheap and nasty.") By insisting upon first-o ass workmanship in every garment, cmbined with good fit and best quality Ho ings etc. Meßsrs Traighead and Berryman have earned their reputation for giving satisfaction and their reduction of about 20s per suit referred to in their new advertisement is sure to dray a fresh rush of customers. —Advt. 2 17i The Darlington, Wis., Journalmy& editor ially of a popular patent medicine.
