These Medicines may be obtained from all respect able Druggists and Storekeepers throughout the civilised world, with directions for use in almost every language. They are prepared only by the Proprietor, Thomas Holloway, 633, Oxford-street, London. . V Beware of Counterfeits that may emanate from he UnitedjStatofl.
