ADVICE GRATIS^ jJOLLO WAY'S PILLS- To Purify the Blood.—Thaao Pills have been placed by the common consent of mankind at the head of all remedies for removing obnoxious poisons from the blood, and cleansing all the tissues of the body They have saved thousands year after year from falling a sacrifice totheeffectsof dyspepsia, dysentery,diarrhoea, constipation, liver complaints, &c.', a fact attested by . myriads of witnesses. Excessive weakness and debility, i the warnings ,of decreasing organic energy and vital decay, are restored and reanimated with vigour and i healthful action in every organ throughout the system by the restorative and exhilirating influence of this i medicine. Female Complaints. -All disorders of the sex, and diseases in every crisis perilous to the life and health of woman, youthful or aged, married or single, may be adically and quickly cured without risk or trouble by - few doses of these Pills, taken according to the arinted directions.

The improvement, though it may be gradual will be thorough and lasting. Dropsy. —The efficacy of Holloway's Pills in dropsy is extraordinary. They act with such peculiar effect upon the system, that the fluids arising from this direful disease are imperceptibly carried off and pre vented from any further accumulation. The sufferer regains a buoyancy Of spirits, and rejoices in a com pletely renovated constitution ;but it is indispensably necessary that the Ointment should be most effectually rubbed into the complaining parts. Stomach, Liver, Kidneys, and Bowels.— Those who •suffer from bile and liver complaints should try the effects of this valuable remedy, a few doses of which will make the sufferer feel elastic and vigorous, re moving all impurities, giving a healthy action to the liver; if bilious attacks be allowed to continue, serious casualities may arise, and the sufferer be consigned to a bed of sickness. In all disorders of the kidneys the Ointment should be well rubbed into the back onccor twicea day : and the Pills, acting in unison, will cure any complaint arising fromthese organs. ! Puffy,—Shortness of Breath with Weakness:— -Very bad symptoms, which if not'corrected, may end to some serious disorders of th -.heart, or othervital organs. Eat moderately .of sweets, take six Pills nightly for 30me little time; caicc-plenty Of fresh air with moderate exercise, and the human machinery will be quickly restored to health and vigour. Try this but hrce days only, and the result will be marvellous. incident to Children.—All complaints of children may soon be cured if care be taken to purify their blood, correct the action of the liver, and cleanse the stomach and bowels: a few doses of these famous Pills will immediately have the desired offect, par ticularly if parents be careful in not allowing them to eat of things which they know would be injurious to themselves.

Reasons Why t DOWNER'S KEROSENE OIL n •1 Should( be used by Consumers in preference to any uLne Petroleum Oil. Ist. "It is safe, having a fire test of never less than g 125° Fahrenheit. , 2nd. It is finished by distillation, without treatment i- with acids and alkalies as the last process. It is double distilled for the purpose of removing the acids •- and alkalies used in the manufacture of aU Petroleum Oils, but which cannot be removed except by their process, I, 3rd. The Downer Oil being chemically pure, burns with more brilliancy of flame, consuming less oil for a given amount of light. 11 gives less trouble, because the Lamps require less frequent filling, and the wick less frequent trimming. ---j 4th. Although the Downer Oil costs more per gallon , than other oils, it is, in the end, cheaper for the con sumer, because it gives a greater amount of light with consumption of oil, g Your grocer may tell you he has on sale an oil in a uality equal to Downer Oil. Don't believe this story. g i Downer Oil is quoted and known all over the world ,j as the highest standard brand. This reputation has | been achieved by its having been made by a better process and more costly than others, which process j has been adhered to from the beginning, without re gard to expense.
