CURE FOR ALL
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.
The Universal Remedy for Bad Legs
Bad Breasts, Old Wounds, and
Ulcerations of all kinds.
There is no medicinal preparation which may be sc.,
thoroughly relied upon in the treatment of the above ail-
ments as Holloway'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 syskm.
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
rubbed upon the Chest and back, night and morning,
penetrates the skin, and thus absorbed, is carried directly
to the Lungs, where, in immediate contact with the whole
mass of circulating Blood, it neutralizes or expels all im-
purities. By these means all pulmonary complaints may
Secured 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 simple
means, than could be brought about in six mouths by any
other treatment. In bad cases, if the ointment be diligently
rubbed into the small of the back, over the region of the
Kidneys, it will quickly penetrate and give immediate
relief. Six or eight of tho Pills should be taken nightly
according to circumstances.
Gout, Rheumatism, and Stiff Joints.
This invaluable Ointment excercises a more obvious control
over 60ut and Rheumatism, than any other Medicine. No
one need remain uncured, who will in good sarnest make
a vigorous application of this infallible remedy—according
to the Printed Instructions affixed to each Pot. All settled
aekes and pains will likeNxise be banished by the same treat-
ment.
Skin Diseases, Scrofula, and Scurvy.
The beneficial effects of this ielcss Cintirent are tr
wonderful in cases of Rinpwoim, Scully, sad Scrofula.
ing's Evil, and its powers sit adequate to the removal
the Eaost inveterate Skin Dibease to which the human from
is subject.
The Ointment and Pills are sold at Professor Hom.owar's
Establishment, 533, Oxford Street, London; also by nearly
every respectable Vendor of Medicine throughout the
Civilized World, in Boxes and Pots, at Is lid, 2s 9d, 4s 6d
