[ADVERTISEMENT.] Rheumatism, a wor,detful
Cure of which Disease has been effected by Holloway's Oint-
ment and Pills.—Mr. Donald M‘Kellar, of Alurrumbridge,
in New South Wales, states that a man of about fifty years of
age, employed by John Peters, Esq., Justice of the Peace in
that colony, suffered for twelve months from an attack of rheu-
matism, brought on by exposure to wet and cord; he was so
painfully afflicted that his body was bent nearly double. In
this deplorable condition he began the use of Holloway's
Ointment and Pills, and so speedily was the cure effected by
them that it seemed to those who had witnes ed his sufferings
little less than a miracle.—Sold by all Druggists, and at Pro-
fessor Holloway's Establishment, 244, S'rand, London.

which, on opening, he found to contain a Tale child, with a
