Holloway’s Pills and Ointment should be kept always ready at hand, to counteract the evils in¬ duced by frost, cold, rain and fog, so prevalent during this month. The Pills relieve all intestinal irritations and conges¬ tions, if assisted by the Ointment, with its pene¬ trating powers; it should be well rubbed into the chest and back every night, on going to bed. Influenza, asthma, pleu¬ risy, and affections of the chest and throat, quickly yield to the marvellous action of these remedies, if used according to the directions attached to each pot and box. Neatly train creeping plants. Unplanted bulbs should be put in the ground during the first open weather. Shelter those planted in the close of last year, and now appearing above ground, by layers of fern leaves, from frost and snow. If the weather permits, sow early peas and beans in sheltered borders. Should bees be kept, feed them, if the weight of the hive shows that they require feeding. After each fall shake the snow off evergreens, which are much harmed by alternate freezing and thawing of snow-water. HOLLOWAY’S OINTMENT is Invaluable for Influenza, Bronchitis, Pleurisy, <k ffc1) A t) J A A rsj
