[ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Ointment and
Pills wonderfully efficacious in curing Scrofula, Old Wounds,
and Bad Legs.—Mr. L. Fordyce, shoemaker, Fo,gue, Aber-
deenshire, suffered for a long period from a large wound in his
thigh, from which disordered pieces of the bone came out. He
was at the Aberdeen Infirmary for several weeks, but in defi-
ance of the treatment there adopted he became so much worse
that the surgeon advised him to have the limb amputated ; on
his objecting to this he was discharged as incurable, when he
commenced using Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which have
so effectually cured him that he is able to resume his work, and
now enjoys most excellent health—Sold by all druggists, and
at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
