THB CHEAT SUCCESS that has rewarded tho philanthropic efforts to provide the public with good music in our parks , is shown by tho largo appreciative crowds who linger , with evident delight , near the various bandstands . The creation of the healthy tasto for harmony will , in time , yield good fruit in giving the people a liking for a higher state of civilisation and a yearning for that which is good , noble , and truo . Holloway ' s remedies work a similar miracle with tho organisation of the body . The Pills , by their purifying influence , cleanse tho blood , and tho Ointment gives strength and . energy to the system . Disease is driven o * jt of its stronghold , and health once again resumes its sway .
