WRECKS OF HUMANITY.
WHY SHOULD THEY SINK ? The excitement of ' the chase' has always been supposed to have a healthful tendency ; but there is a kind of chase which breaks down the constitution, debilitates the frame, and shortens life. We mean the headlong, unintermitting hunt after " the almighty dollar," whicb is tbe great business characteristic of the present day. Itbegets other evils (unnecessary to name) which precipitate the fate of thousands. There is however, a possibility of recovery from the prostration produced by the causes, long after their victim has ceased to hope for it. If we are rightly informed, the most astonishing cures of what is called general weakness and debility, which have ever been known in this country, have been effected through the agency of the Professor Holloway's Pills. Mere skeletons of men, out of whom the very principle of vitality seemed to have been drained, -have been restored to health and vigor by tbe operation of the Pills ; — and of the Ointmentin cases of paralysis, rheumatism, &c, we hear an equally favorable account. .».
