HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.— IMPURITIES OF 

 THE BLOOD.— To insure health it is absolutely neces- 

 sary that the fluids and solids of the human body should be 

 kept free from those impurities which are continually getting 

 into the system, through erroneous living, unwholesome atmo- 

 spheres, or disordered stomach. The only safe and certain 

 way to expel all impurities is to take Holloway's Pills, which 

 have the power of cleansing the blood from all noxious matters, 

 and at the same time removing any regularities which their 

 presence may have already produced in any organ. Holloway's 

 Pills expel all humours which taint or impoverish the blood, 

 which they purify and invigorate and give general tone. They 

 are applicable to all alike, young and old, robust or delicate.
