and ulcerations in the kindset manner, without exciting

fallibly increase his sufferings and retard his cure
Holloway's Pills should be taken during this course of

and materially aid digestion—a matter of the most
material importance when lowering infirmities afflict the

rheumatic gout are the most dreaded of all diseases, be-
cause their victims know that they are safest no season,
and at no age secure. Holloway's Ointment, after fom-
entation of the painful parts, gives greater relief than
any other application, but it roust be diligently used to
obtain this desirable revolt. It has been highly com-
mended by rheumatic sobjects of all ages and of both
sexes for rendering their attacks less frequent and less
rigorous; and for repressing the sour perspirations aud
soothing the nerves. In noiny cases Holloway's that-
! merit and Pills have proved the greatest blessings in re-
moving rheumatism and rheumatic gout, which had as-
sailed persons previously healthy and in the prime of
life.
