The enormous demand for these Pills throughout the globe astonishes everybody, and a single trial convinces the most sceptical that no medicine equals Holloway’s Pills in its ability to remove all complaints incidental to the human race. They are a blessing to the afflicted, and a boon to all that labor under internal or external disease. Purification of the blood, removal of all restraint from the secretive organs, and gentle aperitive action, are the prolific sources of the extensive curative range of Holloway’s Pills.
