If disordered, the whole body languishgsj but however severely it may he affected,-its tone and vigor may always be restored by a course of these irresis tible Pills ; biliousness, indigestion, liver com plaints, and other disorders of the stomach, can easily be cured by the use of Holloway’s Pills. Thousands attest this assertion, and no sufferer who has ever liied them will deny their su preme efficacy. In every case of stomach dis ease, from the mildest case of dispepsia to the disorder of both liver and stomach, from the nausea of the free liver to the vomiting accom panying ulcerated stomachs, these Pills imme diately relieve, and by perseverance effectually cure.—Advt.
