HOLLOWAY'S OISTMYNT awn PILLi .—Rheumatism and
rheumatic gout are the most dreaded of all diseases, be-
cause their victims know that they are safe at no sesima,
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 less frequent and less
rigorous ; and for repressing the sour perspiration% and
soothing the nerves. In many cases Holloway's Oint-
ment and Pills have proved the greatest blessings in re-
moving rheumatism and rheumatic gout, which had as-
sailed persona previously healthy and in the prime of
life.
