NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.— In many instances 

 Remittances in Payment of Repeat Advertisements are 

 received without name, address, or anything beyond the 

 postmark on envelope by which to identify the sender ; this 

 i?t all cases causes a very great deal of trouble, and fre- 

 quently the sender cannot be identified at all. 



Advertisers are requested when Remitting to give their 

 Names and Addresses, and also a Reference to the Adver- 

 tisements which they wish repeated. 



POSTAL ORD ER S.—To Advertisers, Subscribers, and 

 Others. —It is very important in remitting by Postal Order 

 that it should be filled in payable at No. 42, DRT'RV 

 LANE, to W. RICHARDS, as, unless the number of a 

 Postal Order is known, and it has been made payable at a 

 particular office, and to a particular perso?t, it is impossible 

 to prevent any person into whose hands it may fall from 

 negotiating it. 



N.B. — The best and safest means of Remitting is by 

 POST-OFFICE MONEY ORDER.

HOLLO WAY'S PILLS.— The hour of danger. 

 — Disease commonly comes on with slight symptoms, 

 which, when neglected, increase in intensity and gradually 

 grow dangerous, a condition which betrays the grossest remiss- 

 ness, when these Pills, taken in accordance with their accom- 

 panying directions, would not only have checked but conquered 

 the incipient disorder. Patients daily forward details of the 

 most remarkable and instructive cases, in which timely atten- 

 tion to Holloway's advice has no doubt saved them from severe 

 illnesses. These Pills act primarily on the digestive organs, 

 which they stimulate when slow and imperfect ; and secondly 

 upon the blood, which is purified by them, whence is derived 

 the general tone they impart, and their power of subjugating 

 hypochondriasis, dyspepsia, and nervous complaints.
