A few doses of these strengthening and purifying Pills, however, speedily restore order, and re-enable the taker, according to the accompanying directions, will, without difficulty, enable the stomach to digest its food.
These excellent Pills are suitable alike for the peer as the peasant, the soldier and the sailor, and particularly for those in foreign climates.
Holloway's Pills are very useful in checking feverish attacks, bilious complaints, and inflammation; they have also made the most signal cures in cases of dropsy and disease of the kidneys, heart, and lungs, when the sufferers seemed past the aid of medicine.
