r ADVERTISEMENT. j-110110Way'S Ointment and Pill
Ulcerous sores and scrofulous eruptions of the worst kind,
for which all sorts of "established" treatment has been trio'
in vain, have been thoroughly cured in an almost incredi-
bly short time by Holloway's ointment. The common
topical applications are mere palliatives ; but this unrival'
led unguent penetrates the source of the evil, destroys the
secret virus, and gets rid of the disease for ever. In ordi
nary cases the ointment should be briskly rubbed into
the parts affected ; but if they are too tender or irritable,
for this process, they should be gently smeared with it el'
least tsvic3 a day. The most inveterate external diseases
will yield sooner or later to this ointment.
(ADVERTISEMENT.]—Avoid Medicines : they always aggraoto
chronic complaints: but Du Barry's delicious health-restoria
Reva,enta Arabica Food, which yields three times the flour's!'
mcnt of the best meat, saves 50 times its cost in other remediq
and invariably restores perfect digestion, strong nerves, souni
lungs, healthy liver, pure blood, refreshing sleep, functio,r%
