Ulcers.—Daily experience (k)ufirEns the fact which has
triumphed over all opposition for more than forty years,
viz , that uo means are known equal to Holtovray's re-
medies for curing bad legs, bad breasts, sores, wounds,
diseases of the skin, er)sipelas, abscesses, burns. scalds,
and, in truth, all maladies where the skin is broken.
To cure these inflrmiiies quickly is of primary imprt-
ance, as climpulsory confinement indoors weakens the
general health. The ready means of care are found in

expel their cause. In the very worst
