Jgl? 3 When death is at the door, the remedy which
would have saved life, if administered in time, comes too
late. Do not trifle, with disease. Rely upon it, that when
the stomach will not digest food—when faintness and lassi
tude pervade the system—when the sleep is disturbed, the
appetite is feble, the mind lethargic, the nerves unnaturally
sensitive, and the head confused —rely upon it, that when
these symptoms occur, the powers of vitality are failing,
and that,unless the mischief is promptly cheeked, life iciii
be shortened, as well as rendered miserable. Now we
know, from a mass of testimony, greater than was ever be
fore accumulated in favor of one remedy, that Hooflland’s
German Bitters,prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, Philadel
phia, will immediately abate, and, in the end, entirely re
move all of these'disorders as surely as a mathematical
process will solve a problem. Who, then, will endure the
agony, and the risk of life, with health and safety within
reach ? feb24.
Holloieay’s Ointment and Pills—Extraordinary Cure
of a Bad Leg. —Mr. John Allen, of No. 17, Denmark
Leicester, was afflicted with a bad foot for three
y&KJ, during which time he was under medical treatment
without obtaining any relief, or even mitigation to his suf- j
ferings. He was strongly advised to have his foot ampufa- |
ted, but this operation he positively objected to, and alter
lingering for some time longer in dreadful agony, he com
menced using Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and by con
r tinuing the invaluable medicines for a comparatively short
period he was completely cured, and his foot is now a3
sound as ever ; he, therefore, recommends these remedies to
others smilariy afflicted.
To the Afflicted.—To those afflicted with that dread
ful scourge to America, the Liver Complaint, the proprie
tors ot M’Lane’s Liver Pills are happy to offer this remedy,
as at once complete and safe. It has been tried often in all
parts ot the country; it has been used in the practice of the
most eminent physicians, and always with triumphant
success. In offering these Pills to the public, the proprie- j
tors are actuated by a desire to alleviate human suffering, j
and offer a remedy within the reach of all, which is at once
a safe and effectual remedy for a most dangerous and dif
ficult class of diseases. This truly efficacious remedy may
be had at all Druggists in Columbus, and by dealers gen
eraliy throughout the U. S. leb24.
INVALIDS, recovering from the effects of Fever, :
Biiiious Diseases, or long continued illness of any kind,will !
find Carter’s Spanish Mixture the only remedy which will !
revive their drooping constitutions, expel all bad humors
from the blood, excite the liver to a prompt and healthy ac
tion, and by its tonic properties, restore the patient to life
and vigoi.
We can only say TRY IT. A single bottle is worth
all the so-called Sarsapariilas In existence. It contains no
Mercury, Opium, or any other noxious or poionous drug,
and can be given to the youngest mlant without hesitation.
See the certificates of wonderful cures around the bot
tles. Yiore than five hundred persons in the city of Rich
mond, Va., can testily to its good effects.
