FACTS OF VITAL IMPORTANCE.

The beautiful semi=transparent cnvel-
ope in which Nature has enclosed the
wonderful mechanism of the human
body, is peculiarly sensitive to the sub
tie influences which for the lack of a
more specific term, we call infection and
contagion. Many eruptive diseases are
communicable by the touch, and salt
rheUnt, one of the most common cuta-
ueous l4aladies in this country, is gener-
ally considered contagious. 1t is a
painful and ~disfguring disorder, and in
its chronic form is apt to become heredi-
tary. But in whatever shape it may ap
pear, however exaggerated the symptoms:
and whether contracted by accident or
derived from an inherited faint in the
blood, it may be e.ctiputed by the appli-
cation of that peerless external curative,
HoLLowAY's OINTMENT. Science had
that would restore to the diseased skin.
its purity, freshness, smoothness and
f1exibility, when Professor HOLLOWAY
introduced this inestimable preparation,
and in no superficial disorder have its
effects beer more salutary than in Salt
Rhcum. We have seen it applied after
the Lebanon waters, sulphur baths, and
every prescription in the pharmacop9ia
had been tried without the slightest ben
eft and have known a perfect cure
accomplished through its agency, in six
weeks. Sometimes the disease, after
having passed through the earlier stages
of a watery eruption and a viscous sup
puration, assumes a scabious form, and
is not unlike certain species OF leprosy.
In cases of this kind the itching is al
most maddening, and as it is generally
increased by warmth, the bed of a suf-
ferer is only a bed of torment. Most
physicians pronounce this phase incura-
BILE. HOLLOWAY has no such word in
his vocabulary and it is when the
scourge has reached the extreme point
of virulencc, that the Ointment achieved
its most marvellous triumphs. \ reac-
ton at once commences. The external
vessels recover their tone and vigor: the
irritated. nerves that torment the skin
are soothed, the pores resume their
healthful functions, and the virus of the
disease is expelled from the exterior cir
culation and exhaled from the system.
In fact it may be said of Holloway $

eradicating by its balmy. yet searching
influence, every kind of exterior infa-

We have dwelt moro upon its opera
ton in SALT RHEUM, because the com
plant is so general and we are cotnizant
of the fact here stated. The Ointment,
and evaporant ordinarily prescribed for
it. are ut the best mere palliatives, and
in many instances they throw back the
external fire upon the vital organization
producing serious affections Of the lungs
or brain. HoLLowAY's OINTMENT, on
the other hand, erfimguiSAcS instead of
TRANSFERS. Like his equally celebrated
internal remedy, it has a reputation
founded on twenty years of uninterupt-
ed success.-N. \. Sunday -Hrrc"Iy.'
