occupies very comfortable premises of its own . The Lodge room is elegantly furnished , and adorned with many portraits and engravings presented by the members . The chairs are emblematically painted , and adorned with symbols of the sun , moon , and stars , and everything seems to be maintained in excellent order , thanks to the energy and generosity of the brethren , conspicuous amongst whom ,

HOLLOWAY ' OINTMENT AND PILIS . —During every break of wintry weather exertions should be made by the afflicted to recover health before unremitting cold and trying storms set in . Throat nilments , coughs , wheezings , asthmat ' cnl affections , shortness of breath , morning nausea , ancl accumulation of phlegm , can readily be removed by rubbing this fine derivative Ointment twice a day
npon the chest and neck . Holloway ' s treatment is strongly recommended with the view- of giving immediate ease , preventing prospective danger , and effecting permanent , relief . These all-imuortant ends his Ointment and Pills can accomplish , and will surely prevent insidious diseases from fastening on the constitution to display themselves afterwards in those disastrous forms that will probably embitter life till death itself is almost prayed for .
