CURE FOR ALL
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.
15:he Universal Remedy for Bad Legs
Bad Breasts, Old Wounds, and
Ulcerations of all kinds.
There is no medicinal preparation which may be so
thoroughly relied upon in the treatment of the above ail-
ments as Hoiloway's Ointment. Rubbed upon the surface
of the body, over, or near the affected parts, it disappears
under the friction of the hand, penetrating at once to the
source of the evil, and thus performs its healing errand,
rapidly, safely, and without pain. In all long standing
cases, Holloway's Pills should also be taken as they purify
the Blood and expel all depraved humours from the sys.cm.
Coughs, Colds, Sore Throats, and
Bronchitis.
This Ointment is irresistible in the cure of these throat and
pectoral complaints, which when neglected often end in
settled Asthma or Consumption. The Ointment well
rabbsd upon the Chest and back, night and morning,
penetrates the akin, and thus absorbed, is carried directly
to the Lungs, where, in immediate contuct with the whole
ITIAss of circulating Blood, it neutralizes or expels all im-
purities. By these means all pulmonary complaints may
beeared with rapidity and ease.
Disorders of the Kidneys, Stone and
Gravel.
In any of the above complaints more benefit may be
derived in twenty-hours, by adopting the following bimale
mamas, than could be brought about in six mouths by any
ether treatment. In had cases, if the ointment be diligently
rubbed into the small of the back, over the region of the
Kidneys, it will quickly lenetrete and give immediate
relief. Six 'or eight of the tills should be taken nightly
aceurdiag to circumstances.
Gout, Rheumatism, and Stiff Joints.
This invaluable Ointment excercises a more obvious control
ever 6out and Rheumatism, than any other Medicine. No
(me need remain unmixed, who will in good earnest make
a vigorous applicatiox of this•iufallible remedy—according
to the Printed Instructions affixed to each Pot. All sealed
aches and pains will likewise be banished by the same treat-
ment.
Skin Diseases, Scrofula, and Scurvy.
Tke beneficial effects of this peerless Ointment are is
wonderful in cues of Iliagweisn, Scurvy, and Scrofula.
King's Evil, and its powers are adequate to the temoral
the most inveterate Skin Disease to which the hunian fraru
is subject.
The Oiatiaent and Pills are sold at Professor HotaowaT's
