If all who leave the coast for the Gold Fields could under- stand what. they must encounter in the way of exposure, privation. and the diseases growing out of these causes, the first eager inquiry of each would be “What are the best medicines to take to the mines?” To this question but one response would be made by veteran miners. They would recommend every “ green hand” to supply himself with an ample store of Holloway's Pills and Ointment. The squatter, the shepherd, the citizen, and in fact all classes of colonists. are familiar with the beneficent operation of these two great remedies, and from Swan River to Sydney, from Melbourne to the northernmost outpost of the settlements, the gold-seeker regards them as the sole reliable specifies for all internal and external maladies. It would be difiiculty to find a shepherd’s but in the most remote pastoral tracrs of Australia, to which the fame of Professor Holloway and his invaluable discoveries had not found their way, or a tent or shanty within the golden circle of the diggings where they were not ranked among the necessaries of lil'e. It would seem that the com- plaints most prevalent in New South Wales are dysentery and influenza. which yield readily to Holloway‘s Pills, and to nothing else. The too free use of cold water in hot weather, injudicious indulgence in fruits and salt food, expo- sure to the sun, and intemperate habits are the prolific causes of dysentery, and hundreds of newly-arrived emigrants are swept off by this terrible complaint; but old residents who are acquainted with the alterative and restorative properties ofthe Pills regard it without fear, well knowing that it never results fatally in any case in which they are administered to the sufferer. Influenza, of the most distressing type, is a common complaint throughout the colonies, and in the rainy months,par excellence, from April to September, it generally takes the shape of an epidemic. The itinerant traders who visit the diggings find, during the winter, a more than usually profitable market for Holloway’s medicines. The Pills, aided in their operation by warm drinks, speedily re- move every vestige of the disorder, and when it is attended with a sore throat and oppression of' the chest, great benefit is derived from the brisk application of the Ointment. im- mediately over the seat of inflammation. In the clay digg- iugs ot'Ballarat and all along the auriferous borders of the Turon River, both dysentery and influenza are remarkably prevalent, and we learn that the success of Helloway’s remedies in these regions has been most triumphant. But it is the same everywhere. Throughout Australia, in Van Dieman’s Land, and in New Zealand we know that they are considered the great salvors of health and life, and testimony to the same eflect from all parts is continually reaching us. -—-T}ie Miner.
