Holloway's Ointment, well rubbed upon the abdomen two
or three times a day, with the application of warm bran
poultices in the intervals, gives immediate relief, gradually
soothes the irritable bowels, and assuages their most dis-
tressing pains. This treatment is applicable to all forms
of diarrhea, dysentery, and cholera, and, with attention,
will always be successful. Farineceone diet, milk, and
barley water should give eubsistence during the continu-
ance of the disease, to the utter exclusioe of all solid
food, which the deranged bowels are incompetent to sem-
milate.
