But while we give due honors to such names, we should do injustice to a noble an

generous heart, were we for ove moment to forget the name of Holloway. The possessor of an immense fortune, which would allow him to traverse the world in search of pleasure, he choses, instead, to devote his Jeisure and his talents to the benefit of his fellow-creatures, by dispensing among them the most remarkable remedies ever yet compounded, and which be himself discovered after years of unremitting toil and research throughout the vast cabinet of nature. To

these researches Professor Holloway was first incited by the |

enormous amount of suffering from various diseases which he everywhere saw around, and the sad inefficiency of medi- cal art to meet und vanquish them; and the success which has met him at every step—yet no greater than he antici- pated—has proved his well-earned reward. So great, indeed, has become the popularity of his medicines, even in the re- motest corners of the earth, that his parent establishment in London outstrips the largest in the world’; and their marvel- lous virtues have been extolled in almost every elanguage from pole to pole. We have seen innumerable testimonials from persons who have used these remedies—stacks upon stacks—in which their wonderful powers are extolled in the

man, nor his medicines; but what we are confident of, we)

are willing to bear testimony in its favor; and as far as our absolute knowledge extends, covering a space of years, we feel competent to speak upon the subject in the warmest terms. Therefore it is our earuest wish that not a family in the land should be ignorant of the Professor’s remedies, and

that they should always be kept on hand to use in cases of

suden illness, as they will operate as well as preventives as euraliyes; whe there is no possibility of danger to the system arising from their use.—Galveston News.
