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.
