Holloway's Pills.— Bilious complaints and irregularities of the system, produced by depraved or over-abundant bile, can always be corrected by a few doses of these inestimable Pills, which are everywhere admired for their rare combination of mildness and power; for though they conquer with ease and rapidity the most obstinate disease, they never weaken the stomach or necessitate any interruption of ordinary duties or amusement.
