HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT and PILLS
wonderfully efficacious for the CURE of WOUNDS.—Mr.
Woodall, of Barlby. near Selby, was afflicted with an abscess on
his neck for a considerable time, and notwithstanding he was
under the treatment of a moat eminent surgeon in the neigh-
bourhood, yet he could not by the various remedies applied heal
the wound; he therefore determined on giving Holloway's Oint-
ment and Pills a trial, and by these invaluable medicines alone
he has been perfectly cured, and is now in excellent health.

can it be distinguished from real silver.
