Reapin© and Sowing are the two mos important periods m the life of the farmer and granting that all circumstances are favorable, he naturally, during the latter j period, hopes to get an adequate return for his labor. As he sows, he expects to reap, and unless constant industry has been exercised, the harvest is generally a poor one. So it is with regard to health, if we are not constantly on the watch and destroy the germs of disease as soon as they p»e dis cerned, the body becomes weakened, and at last is unable longer to resist the attacks of the enemy. Holloway's Pills destroy even the most minute traces of disease, by puri fying the blood and strengthening the ystem.
