HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT and PILLS.— Colds, Coughs, Shortness of Breath.-These maladies require early and unremitting attention, for if neglected they often end in asthma, bronchitis, or consumption. The Ointment well rubbed upon the chest and back, penetrating the skin, is absorbed and carried directly to the lungs, whence it expels all impurities. All the blood in the body is perpetually passing through the lungs, and there all noxious particles tending to disease can be quickly, thoroughly, and permanently neutralized, rendered harmless, or ejected from the system. Holloway's Ointment and Pills perfectly accomplish this purification; aud through the blood thus cleansed, the influence of these wonderful medicaments reaches the remotest parts of the human body, and thus cures all diseased action, whether internal or external.

THE REVISED VERSION OF THE NEW Whatever may be the ultimate acceptance which the Revised Version of the New Testament may meet with, it seems from the notice which it has even yet received that no portion of it will pass into use without examination. And this is well. Quod omnes tangit debet ab omnibus approbari" (Lib. Sext. Decret., v. xii. 29). On opening the preface it appears strange that no notice is taken of the Wycliffite versions in describing the origin of the previous English translations. It is impossible to read any fair number of consecutive verses in the WycliffePurvey translation without observing the general resemblance which it has to those which have succeeded it. Without question much of this is due to the character and form of the Latin from which it was made, and which Tyndale and his followers must have used. But the Wycliffite version was intended for common use, and the spirit was caught; and even its form and language seem to have had at least an indirect influence in promoting succeeding versions and directing their form and character. The form of printing the citations from the Old Testament will not be generally approved. It is a departure from the MSS., from former translations, and from the Septuagint, from which several of these citations are more or less derived. These are in prose, too, in the revision itself. So, on the assumed reference to the Old Testament, 1 Cor. i. 9 is printed metrically; but the equally rhythmical citation in Eph. vi. 12 is printed as prose, and with a declension from the excellent rhythm of the Authorized Version. The titles in the Authorized Version of the several books have been exactly copied. But this seems an unnecessary adhesion to precedent. The title of the Epistle to the Hebrews is not in accordance with common opinion; nor is it easy to see a sufficient reason why some of the writers, as the four Evangelists, should have an S. prefixed to their names and others not; nor why S. John should be so described in the title of the Gospel and Revelation and not in the titles of his three epistles. To pass from the preface to the revision, and to look first at its general character in reference to the alterations of the text which it involves, it will appear that there are some changes which may seem striking, but which have in reality been anticipated by the readers of the Greek Testament in any modern edition. The principal ones seem, at first sight, to be the following: There is an omission of the words "without a cause" at St. Matt. v. 22; the doxology has been omitted at St. Matt. vi. 13; and so also has been, at xvii. 21, "Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting"; while "and fasting" only is |
