A Word to our Fair Readers. —
Health the basis, of Beauty.—Pimples, blotches, and all skin diseases. --A clear
complexion is net only essential to female loveliness, but it is equally an
external evidence of health—while sallowness, pimples, and all cutaneous
eruptions are indicative of a disturbed condition of the stomach and liver. Upon
these organs the famous aperient and tonic known as Holloway's Pills, act with a
directness, precision, and rapidity unparalleled in Medical Science, while the
Ointment purges the vesicles of the skin, and imparts a brilliancy and roseate
tint to that delicate envelope. All who value health and beauty should beware of
tampering with cosmetics, as they are not only pernicious but highly dangerous
to health.

A SWEET AND
PERFUMED BREATH.
What lady or gentleman would
remain under the curse of a disagreeable breath, when, by using the
BALM OF THOUSAND FLOWERS,
it would be cured? How many
lovers it has separated!!! How many friends forever parted! THE SUBJECT IS SO
DELICATE, your nearest friend will not mention it; and you are yourself ignorant
of the fact. To effect a radical cure, use the Balm as a tooth-wash night and
morning.
For bathing suffering infants, a
few drops poured into a basin of waterwill dispel all fever, tetter, &c.
When used for washing night and
morning, it eradicates all Tan, Pimples, and Freckles:, rendering the skin soft
and white, and free from blemish.
Price 75 Cents. For sale by all
Druggists.
