HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—RIMITIVIIiAM and
rheumatic gout are the most dreaded of all diseases, be-
cause their victims know that they are safe at an seasou,
and at no age secure. Holloway's Ointment, after fom-
entation of the painful parts, gives greater relief than
any other application, but it must be diligently used to
obtain this desirable result. It has been highly com-
mended by rheumatic subjects of all ages and of both
sexes for rendering their attacks leas frequent and less
rigorous; and for repressing the sour penmirations and
soothing the nerves. In many cases Holloway's Oint-
ment and Pills have proved the greatest blessings in re-
mnving rheumatism and rheumatic gout, which had no.
sailed persons previously healthy and in the prime of
lite.
