[ADVERT 'SEMEN LI-
Ilolloway's Ointment and Pills—
U uerring
rreoibion.—When the health is breaking down
from the continuance of 501110 weakening discharge ; when
ulcers refuse to heal and extending mischief is threatened,
then is the time to try the potency of Holloway's healing
ointment and purifying pills. No treatment for giving ease
and safely leading to a cure can be compared to this. The
ointment cleans and cools the foulest and most angry sores,
diminishes the inflammation, reduces the swelling, prevents
the growth of proud flesh, and spares both pain and danger.
Hunreds testify from their own personal experience to the
unvarying success attending the use of Holloway's medics-
mem 8 ill 9316" of enlarged veins, scurvy skin, and swelled
ankles.
