Hollowat's Pills and Ointment. — ;1 house buiit upon the sand cannot have a permanent foundation ; and the same may be said of every undertaking m life. Success, to have a permanent effect, must be built, upon something solid, or it will crumbe into ashes when seemingly witbin our grasp. The foundation of anything of value must be carefully laid, or it will soon become useless, This remark is pirticulhrly applicable ia reference to our health, for if it is not firmly established through the blood being pure and the stomach m regular order, we are liable at any time to be fatally attacked by I disease. Hollovvny's Pills and Ointment lay a foundation of geod health which will be permanent and strong a? a rock.
