CURE FOR ALL!
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.
The Universal liemedy 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 Holloway's 1/4...intment. 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 toe
source of the evil, and thus performs its healing errand,
rapidly, safely. and without pain. In all long standing
cases, Holloway's Pins should also be taken as they purify.
the Blood and expel all depraved humours from the sys,eni.
Coughs, Colds, Sore Throats, and
Bronchitis.
This Ointment is irresistible in the cure of these throat and
Pectoral complaints, which when neglected (Men end in
settled Asthma or Consumption. The Ointment well
rubbed upon the Chest and back, night and morning,
penetrates the skin, and thds absorbed, is carried directiy
to the Lungs, where, in immediate cont,et with the whole
mass of circulating Blood, it neutraliLes or expels all im-
purities. By these means all pulmonary complaints may
becurecl 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 the Pills should be taken nightly
according to circumstances.
Gout, Rheumatism, and Stiff Joints.
This invaluable Ointment excercises a more obvious control
over (lout and Rheumatism, than any other Medicine. No
one need remain uncured, who will in good earnest make
a vigorous application of this infallible remedy—according
to the Printed Instructions affixed to each Pot. All settled
aches and pains will likewise be banished by the same treat-
ment.
Skin Diseases, Scrofula, and Scurvy.
The beneficial rfiects ei this rules tii in cut ate tr
wonderful in cases of Binl.w( in), iemmiy, tid ::•crofnla.
King's Evil, and its powers are adequate to tLe removal
the most inveterate Skin Disease to which the human frani
Is subject.
The Ointment and Pills are sold at Professor Houovvey's
