[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills
Efficacious Remedies for Bad Legs.—Mr. H. Jones, of
the Blue Bell, Llanerohymedd, had a very bad leg, com-
pletely covered with wounds, to cure which be had trit d
all available remedies for more than six months, but
without success. At last a clergyman recommended him
to try Holloway's ointment and pills. After using them
fur a short time the wounds began to heal, and in a few
weeks his leg was perfectly cured ; in gratitude for which
Mr. Jones will answer any inquiries about it.---Sold by
