Long experience has proved these famous remedies to be most effectual in curing either the dangerous maladies or the slighter com plaints which are 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 of fey r, dysentery, diarrhoea, and cholera. n'7iwi*jjuiiLiiiiii''»'i«ii[.'^iiiH — 1 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, with directions for use in almost every language. They are prepared only by the Proprietor, THOMAS HOLLOW AY, «i 3, Oxford-street, London. ; *** Beware of Counterfeits that may emanate from tho TJnitnd SfjvtpH. /■^"RXt'E'F.U LT^C O MFORTING.

"By a thorough knowledge of the natura laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and' by a careful application of the fine properties of well-selected cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast-tables with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors' bills. It is by the judi cious use of such articles of diet that a constitu tion may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every tendency to disease. Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack? wherever there is a weak point.
