THE GREATEST WONDER OF MODERN TIMES. Long experience has proved these 'famous remedies to be most effectual in curing either the dangerous maladies or the slighter com plaints which arc more particularly incidental to the life of a miner, or those living in the bush. Occasional doses of these Pills will guard the system against those evils which so often beset the human race, viz.:—Coughs, colds, and dis orders of the liver and stomach—the frequent forerunners o£ fever, dysentery, diarrhoea, and cholera. Is the most effectual remedy for old sores, wounds, ulcers, rheumatism, and all skin diseases ; in fact, when used according to the printed directions, it never fails to cure alike, deep and superficial ailments. These Medicines may be obtained from all respectable Druggists and Storekeepers through out the civilised world, wich directions for use in almost every language. They are prepared only by the Proprietor THOMAS HOLLOWAY, 533, Oxford-street, London. V Beware of Counterfeits that may emanate fta.m tlift Urn" ted States,
