Srectan Notice. ~— Holloway's Ointment

No matter whether the undue deposi of water be in the body or its members the case is the same, and the means of cure identical. Prevent over-seeretion, and stimulate torpid absorption. This is the only rational and reliable method of successfully treating this terrible complaint. Holloway's Ointment, well rubbed over the seat of the watery en- largement exercises this double curative effect with ease, safely and certainly, without weakening or otherwise injuring the oppres- sed capillary system, but rather by rousing the absorbing power. Hence the disease soon diminishes, and health is steadily re- stored. Holloway’s Pills should likewise be taken to rid both solids and fluids of deprav- ed and poisonous products.

Government have allowed their expenditure to exeeed their revenue, although they prommed to bring the former not only within the compass of the latter, but they pledged themselves to reduce taxation, and to pay off the public debt. They

have doubled the debt of the Colony in Jess than |

We can prove all this, as we intend to do, with the help of the Tabular Statement which the ‘ Islander’ has so opportunely furnish- ed, and whieh we intend to copy into our next No. We are astonished at the blindness of our contemporary in offering evidence to prove that the party in power are a set of reckless spendthrifts ; ané the humble exeuses which he makes for their nopardenable extravaganees, are, as we shall show, the most frivolous and contemptible that can be imagined.
