which France imported 41,566 kilogrammes, of

great deal of wearing apparel from France. In

[ADTERTISEMENT.i—IIoIIaway's Ointment and Pills,'
Ulcerous sores and scrofulous eruptions of the worst kind;
for which allsor ts of "established" treatment has been tried
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 unrivsl'
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 at
least twits a day. The most inveterate external diseaseo
will yield sooner or later to this ointment.
[ADVERTISRMENT.]—Avoid Medicines : they always aggravate
chronic complaints: but Du Barry's delicious health-restori-eg,
Reva:enta Arabica Food, which yields three times the nourieu-
ment of the best meat, saves 50 times its cost in other remedies'
and invariably restores perfect digestion, strong nerves, sound
lungs, healthy liver, pure blood, refreshing sleep, functionae
regularity, and energy to the most disordered or enfeebled. 1N.:;
