CURE FOR ALL!
HOLLOWAY 3 OINTMENT.
The 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 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 system,
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
-11tbbed upon the Chest and back, night and morning,
'Penetrates the skin, and thus absorbed, is carried directly
to lie 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
be cured 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.yi
This invaluable Ointment excercises a more obvious control
over Gout 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 effects of this peeiless Ointnent DIM
wonderful in cases of Ringwoirn, Scurvy, and Scrofula
King's Evil, and its powers are adequate to the removal
the most inveterate Skin Disease to which the human fram
is subject.
The Ointment and Pills are sold at Professor HOLLOWAY'S
Establishment, 533, Oxford Street, London; also by nearly

TO SPECULATIVE INVESTORS.
Tii attention of those having a predilection
for that kind of speculative investment which,
while having but a nominal chance of loss, has every
prospect of realising hundreds per cent, on the outlay,
is advised to be given to the unparalleled opportunity
offered at the present moment by a judici us selection
of Cornish and Devon Mining Shares.
There are few persons who are altogether unaware of
the almost fabulous profits of Tin and Copper Mining,
but it is not so generally understood that in the distri,
bution of those profits there are thousands of persons
who, on an original outlay of comparative iosignificance
—often only a few pounds, enjoy a substantial yearly
nvenue, Still less is it understood that, amongst the
vast number of progressive mines throughout the two
counties, there are always a great many in which shares
can be bought at a nominal price with almost a certainty ,
of sooner or later realising enormous profits on the
outlay; but such is the fact, as is almcst weekly demon-
strated by the astounding advances in price, often from
a few shilliegs to scores of pounds arch. And it may
be fairly asked in what other branch of irdustiy, how-
ever lucrative,. is it possibte for £1 to fructify into
£l,OOO, as in the case of Devon Consuls; while hundreds
of other instances, not quite so notable, but still amazing
are actual facts.
The tritest advocate, however, of mining is bound to
admit that, under the most faveured circumstances, it
ean never be wholly devoid of speculation: indeed, from
the very nature of the pursuit, seeking after wealth
which may or may not exist, uncertainty is inseparable
from the most legitimate mining undertaking; and it is
to be regretted that the term " adventure," by which,
up to a few years since, all young mines were described,
has fallen into disuse. At the same time it is undeniable
that the speculation attached to mining, at the present
time, is lessened by the improved state of sur knowledge
respecting the laws which regulate the formation of
mineral deposits ; and although that knowledge is
limited. yet we are able to say, from general inference,
where we may seek for minerals with reasonable hope
of success, and where search wouid he futile.
Geology, like the more exact sciences, is' capable of
advancing scientific induction to true theories and reli-
able results; hence it follows that by a careful observa•
tion of the features which characterise rich deposits,
their identity with neighbouring speculations, and an
elimination of all fanciful or enthusiastic preference, there
is no difficulty, to a competent person, to select from
amongst a number of young mines those which have
the most reliable prospect of success.
There was never, probably, in the history of mining
such a favourable moment for speculating in progressive
mines with prospects of enormously profitable realisation
as the present. For a long time past the terrible de-
pression in trade, the absence of speculation as a con-
sequence of the late war-cloud, and the unparalleled de-
preciation in the price of metals (Tin having fallen from
£35 to £35 per ton) have proved almost oVerwhelming
in their effect on metallic ruining. Now, however, there
are unmistakabledgivs that the worst has been reached,
and that we ire Mt he eve of a reaction which wiil en-
able enormous gains to be,made by those who, having
spare c,pital, have the temerity to act contrary to the
old adage, " When things are high the public I;uy, but
when they are low they letibeni go," but take advantage
of the present depressed prices. Those who do so may
feel assured they will make money rapidly, and to as
extent hardly. conceiveble in any other hranch of in-
dustry.
With these few particulars Messrs. Archer and Slack,
who are thoroughly acquainted with the subject., and who
have an intimate connection with all departments o
mining, beg to announce that they have selected twf
mines, the Shares of which, now at a low price, theo
believe may be safely bought for an. early and great rise.
They will give the names of these mines on condition of
receiving a percentage of the profit realised by an
investment in them wilhin three months ef purchasing.
This plan of remuneration, beine, dependant on success, I
commends itself; and gives the best guarantee of the 1,
selection being judiciously made.
Messrs. Archer and Sleek will be happy to communi-
cats with any one desirious of further particulars, and I
will supply fully the grounds on which the expectation
is based. Address, Messts. Archer and laek, Civil
Engineers, as above.
