Bro . James Willing ' s drama , " Delilah , " produced at the Royal Park Theatre early in October , has been transferred to the "Olympic , " where , judging from the hearty manner in vvhich the performance is received , the result of the change must be most satisfactory to both the author and management .

highly-talented amateurs , while the list of patrons and patronesses is numerous and influential .

HOLLOWAY ' S OIXTMEN-T AND PILLS . —During every Break of wintry weather exertions should be made hy the afflicted to recover health before unremitting cold and trying storms set in . Throat ailments , coughs , vvheczings , asthmatical affections , shortness of breath , morning nausea , and accumulations of phlegm can readilv lie removed hy rubbing this line derivative Ointment twice a da ' v

upon tire chest anil neck . Holloway ' s treatment is strongly recom . mended with the view of giving immediate ease , preventing prospective danger , and effecting permanent relief . These all important ends his Ointment and Pills can accomplish , and vvill surely pre . vent insidious diseases from fastening on the constitution to display inemselves afterwards in those disastrous forms that will probably embitter life till death itself is almost prayed for . —I ADVT 1
