health of the system will follow.

HOLLOWAY'S 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
.horoughly 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
oases, Holloway's Pille should also be taken as they purify
he 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 Coniumption. The Ointment well
rubbed upon the Chest and back, night and morning
penetrates the skin, and thus absorbed, is carried directly I
to the 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
))e cured with rapidity and ease.
Disorders of the Kidneys, and Stone
Gravel.
n 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
acc,,rding to circumstances.
Gout, Rheumatism, and Stiff Joints.
This invaluable Ointment excercises a more obvious contro.
oVer Gout and Rheumatism, than any other Medicine. No
one need remain uncured, who will in good earnestmake
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 lame treat.
!neut.
Skin Diseases, Scrofula, and Scurvy.
The beneficial effects of this peerless Ointment are the
wonderful in cases of Ringworm, Scurvy, and Scrofulal
King's Evil, and its powers are adequate to the remova
the most inveterate Skin Disease to which thehuman fram
is subject.
The Ointment and Pills are sold at Professor HOLLOWAY'S
Establishment, 533, Oxford Street, London; also by nearly
very respectable Vendor of Medicine throughout the
Civilized World, in Boxes and Pots, at is lid, 2s 9d, 4s 6d
