The Miracle Pill

September 1856--This ad, which appeared in the Coshocton Democrat, promised a healthful life by taking a pill. Don't they all?-ed

"Holloway's Pills may be taken safely by both sexes, and all ages, their effect being mild yet positive; their searching properties renders them invaluable for the extermination of every disease, particularly liver and stomach complaints; billious disorders, and indigestion.

As a purifier of the system, they are unequaled, and their virtues in cases of termination of blood to the head, and asthmatic complaints, cannot be too highly commented on, in short, by a perseverance with these admirable pills, there are few complaints which can resist their extraordinary influence."
