The Hour, of Danger, i Disease commonly Comes on with slight symptoms, which, when neglected, increase in extent.and gradually grow dangerous—a cdridition which betrays tho.; grossest remissness—when these pills, taken in accordance with their accompanying directions, would not only have checked, but conquered the insipient disorder. Patients daily forward details of the most remarkable and instructive cases in which timely attention to Holloway's advice has undoubtedly saved them from severe illness.

These pills act primarily on the digestive organs, which they stimulate when slow and imperfect; and, secondly, upon the blood, which is thoroughly purified by them, whence is derived the general tone they im? part, and their power of subjugating bypocbondriacism, dyspepsia, and nervous complaints.—Advt.

AFTER THE BOYAL VISIT, Apish exciting times the health of children requires very special looking after. That the child is father to the man,' physically as well as mentally, is one of those truths that can never be too often insisted upon, and the thoughtful parent will be careful above all to see that her child has the proper nourishment to establish its constitution. A good constituiion is a rock on which alone I success and strength can be built. Among | the various foods that science commends in these days for this purpose, none holds a higher place than Nhavbs Food job Infantb and Invalids. Vccording to toe j best medical testimony, and, what is perhaps better still, the grateful testimony of thousands of happy mothers, this food contains all the essential elements of strength, and while it is pleasant to the taste and eagerly taken by children, it may also bB used by persons of all ages with decided oeneflt. It is a bone-building, health-sus taining product that cannot be too warmly recommended and we gladly add oar words of praise to that of the numerous medical journals and experts that have recommended it, Nbavb's Food should have a prominent/ place in the dietary of every house where there are children or invalids.—Advt.
