At different periods of life women are subject to complaints whieh require a peculiar medicine; and it is now an indisputable fact that there is none so suitable for complaints of this nature as Holloway's Pilla.

Their purifying qualities render them invaluable to females at all ages. They are searching and cleansing, yet invigorating; a few doses will speedily remove every species of irregu- larity in the system, and thereby establish health on a sound and firm basis.

After clinging to the ropes with desperate courage they were picked up at day- break in an almost lifeless condition.
