Holloway’s Pills.— Weary of Life Derangement of the liver is one of the mos dangerous of diseases, and the most prolific source of those melancholy forebodings which art worse than death itself. A. few doses of these noted Pills act magically in dispelling low spirits, and repelling the; covert attacks made on the nerves Ky excessive heat, impuie atmospheres, over-indulgence, or exhausting excitement.
