Holloway's Ointment and Pills a certain specific, and
Cure for Scorbutic Eruptions. —Extract of a letter from
Mr. Ablitt, Chemist, Leamington, dated Nov. 25th, 1852.
To Professor Holloway,—Sir,— A person named John
Margoschis, of 19, Regent street, Leamington, was afflicted
for eight years with scorbutic eruptions on the lips, and at
length the whole surface of mouth and lower part of the
face were covered with sores. He tried all kinds of reme
dies without deriving any benefit whatever. At length he
was recommended to use your Pilfe, which in three days
produced a great change for the better, and in a short time
effected a perfect cure.
INVALIDS, recovering from the effects of Fever,
Billious Diseases, or long continued illness of any kind,will
find Carter’s Spanish Mixture the only remedy which will
revive their drooping constitutions, expel rill 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 vigor.
We can only say TRY IT. A single bottle is worth
all the so-called Sarsaparillas In existence. It contains no
Mercury, Opium, or any other noxious or poionous drug,
and can be given to the youngest infant withoufhesitation.
See the certificates of wonderful cures around the bot
tles. More than five hundred persons in the city of Rich
mond, Va., can testify to its good effects.

Worms! Worms! —Various theories have been started
relative to the origin of intestinal worms, and yet the ques
tion is still a Pvexed one among medical authorities. Os
one fact, however, all are informed, and in which all agree
—the fatal nature of the influence they exert on children.
At this season ofthe year the attacks of worms are most
frequent as well as most dangerousr Wo take great plea
sure in directing the attention ot parents to the Vermifuge
of Dr. M’Lane. It is one ofthe most extraordinary med
icines ever introduced to the public, and has never failed of
success when tried.
For sale by all Druggists in Columbus, and by dealers
generally throughout the U. S. marl 7.
It should be universally known—for it is strictly
true —that indigestion is the parent of a large proportion of
the fatal diseases. Dysentery, diarrhoea, cholera morbus,
liver complaint, and’many other dlseasess enumerated in
the city inspector’s weekly catalogue ol deaths, are genera
ted by indigestion alone. ‘I hink of that dyspeptics! think
of it all who suffer from disordered stomachs, and if you
are willing to be guided by advice, founded upon experi
ence, resort at once (don’t delay) to Hoofland’s German
Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, which, as an alter
ative,curative and invigorant,stands alone and unapproach
