[ADVERTISEMENT.]—The most Effectual Cure for
Gout and Rheumatism is Holloway's Ointment and Pills.
—A frequent cause of these complaints is the inflama-
tory state of the blood, as they are generally attended
with bad digestion, lassitude and great debility,
showing the want of a proper circulation of the
fluids, and that impurity of the blood greatly
aggravates these painful disorders. Holloway's pills
are of so purifying a nature, that a few doses
taken in time is au effectual preventative against gout
and rheumatism; hut every one that has an attack
of either should use Holloway's ointment also, the
powerful properties of which combined with the effect of
the pills, ensures a certain cure. Sold by all druggists,
and at Professor Holloway's establishment, 244, Strand,
London.
