LADVERTISEMENT. 1-1-lolloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Saltily combined witti efficiency are the marked charac-
teristics of Ilolloway's admirable remedies, which require
for their mope- use little leateing, for their favourable
results little faith and moderate perseverance. Glandular
swellings in the throat, neura,gitt, tiedoloreux, gout,
rheumatism, lumbago, and other diseases affecting the
glands, muscles, and nerves of sensation aro permanently
eradicated by this healing antifebrile and soothing pre-
paration. It is also a perfect remedy for all skin diseases
and every kind of superficial inflammation, which soon
lose their angry and painful character under thfis invalu-
able ointment. The pills have never been adminiStered,
either by hospital or private practitioners, in dyspepsia or
liver complaints, without producing the desired result.
