[ADVERTISEMENT.]--HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND
PILLS ARE SURPRISING REMEDIES FOR THE CURE OF
BAD LEGS.—Mrs. Sarah Ashby, of Knowsley, had been
a sufferer for a considerable time from a bad leg of a very
alarming description. Several medical gentlemen at-
tended her, and she had recouse also to other remedies
usually adopted in such cases, but all were of no avail,
and after being reduced to a very distressing condit on
from continual pain and suffering, she was induced to
try Holloway's Oinment and Pills, and these astonish-
ing medicines effected a perfect cure in a comparatively
short time by strictly following the directions given with
them. She has continued in excellent health ever since.
