A MAGAZINE FOR THE LITTLE ONES.

EDITED BY T. S. ARTHUR.

Our new Magazine will come as a pleasant companion, friend and counsellor of the little ones, and as a helper in the work of storing up things good, and true, and beautiful in their minds, through a healthy culture of the imagination, and an attractive illustration of those precepts that lie at the foundation of all right living. It will aim to inspire children with reverence for God and a sense of His loving and fatherly care, and to lead them to unselfish actions-to be gentle, forbearing, merciful, just, pure, brave, and peaceable.

"THE CHILDREN'S HOUR" will be as beautiful in appearance as the best typography and the best artists in the country can make it. for children; writers who, while they possess the rare power of interesting young minds intensely, never Its pages will be filled with articles from our most talented writers stain a sentence with a grovelling or profane idea, but always lift the thought into things pure and nobie.

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS,

AND

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.

Disorders of the Stomach, Liver and Bowels.

The Stomach is the great centre which influences the health or disease of the system-abused or debilitated by excess-indigestion, offensive breath, and physical prostration are the natural consequences. Allied to the brain, it is the source of headaches, mental depression, nervous complaints and unrefreshing sleep. The liver becomes affected and generates bilious disorders, pains in the side, &c. The bowels sympathize by Costiveness, Diarrhoea, and Dysentery. The principal action of these Pills is on the stomach, and the liver, lungs, bowels and kidneys participate in their recuperative and regenerative operation.

Erysipelas and Salt Rheum.

Are two of the most common and virulent disorders prevalent on this continent, to these the Ointment is especially antagonistic; its "modus operandi" is first to eradicate the venom and then complete the cure.

Bad Legs, Old Sores, and Ulcers.

Cases of many years' standing, that have pertinaciously refused to yield to any other remedy or treatment, have invariably succumbed to a few applications of this powerful unguent.

Eruptions on the Skin.

Arising from a bad state of the blood or chronic diseases, are eradicated, and a clear and transparent surface regained by the restorative action of this Ointment. It surpasses many of the cos metics and other toilet appliances in its power to dispel rashes and other disfigurements of the face.

Female Complaints.

Whether in the young or old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or the turn of life, these tonic medicines display so decided an influence that a marked improvement is soon perceptible in the health of the patient. Being a purely vegetable preparation, they are a safe and reliable remedy for all classes of females in every condition of health and station of life.

Piles and Fistula.

Every form and feature of these prevalent and stubborn disorders is eradicated locally and entirely by the use of this emollient; warm fomentations should precede its application. Its healing qualities will be found to be thorough and invariable.

Both the Ointment and Pills should be used in the following cases:

CAUTION! None are genuine unless the words “ HOLLOWAY, NEW YORK AND LONDON," are discernible as a Water-mark in every leaf of the book of directions around each pot or box; the same may be plainly seen by holding the leaf to the light. A handsome reward will be given to any one rendering such information as may lead to the detection of any party or parties counterfeiting the medicines or vending the same, knowing them to be spurious.

***Sold at the manufactory of Professor HOLLOWAY, 80 Maiden Lane, New York, and by all respectable Druggists and Dealers in Medicine, throughout the civilized world.

There is considerable saving by taking the larger sizes.

N. B.-Directions for the guidance of patients in every disorder are affixed to each pot and box. Dealers in my well-known medicines can have Show-cards, circulars, &c., sent FREE OF EXPENSE, by addressing Thomas Holloway, 80 Maiden Lane, New York.

GAYLEY'S ALMADINE,

For the cure of Chapped Skin, Tetter, Erysipelas, Sore Nipples, Ring-Worm, Burns, Chaffing, and Scalding of the skin in Children, &c., &c.

This elegant preparation, by a happy combination of ingredients admirably selected, secures the healthy action of all parts of the skin, rendering the surface soft, clean, and white. It has the sanction of many eminent Physicians. It will keep for years in any climate.

A few extracts from letters. A clergyman of Philadelphia, says :-"We have all used it at our house, and are agreed in pronouncing it the very best thing for chapped hands and lips we have ever tried."

A late eminent clergyman of New Jersey, says: "The excellence of your Almadine, tested by experience in my family, prompts me to return thanks for so skillful a preparation. We have all used it on various occasions, and have always been cured in a few hours. It is a decidedly useful article for the toilet and the nursery, and capable of being used with great benefit in cases of such burns and abrasions of the skin as often occur in househelds."
