HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.

1t is said that all productions of human skiih
have their day, and are superseded by new ir-
ventions or discoveries. Not so with this rem
edy. at is not for dsy, but for all time.-
And why? because it strikes at the generic
root of all diseases in the blood and medical
art can accomplish nothing beyond tnat. The
Ointment, penetrating through flesh and fibre
like water through aporous substance, reaches
the germ or radix of scRoFcLA, SALT RHKun,
ERYsIrELAs CANCER, TuMoR and all eruptiys-
ulcerous distempers, in the circulation, and
erases the taint at once and forever.

The extent to which mechanical and manu-
featuring industry in this country has reach
ed is greater than in any other. Here, there,
fore, the liability to bodily accident has fn-
creased in the same ratio. Accidents are la
mentally frequent, and often even when
trivial in themselves, are made, to end fatally
from want of due attention and proper reme-
dies. The most powerful curative ever ap-
phed to wounds, bruises; or sores of any Sort
IS HoLLowAY's OINTMENT. Every tradesman--.
every man to whom an accident may happcn---
and who is there exempt 2--- should be pro-
7ided against the physical danger which,,
though never foreseen, are of hourly occur-
renee.

resisted all other applications, as well "a in.
curing Erylsipelus, Piles, Fistalas, Sak Rheunr
and pains in the limbs and joints, have been
so countless and so notorious throughout the.
world, that any effort to give an adequate de-
tailed statement Of their number or Character
would be vain. Itis sufficient to say that ths.
Ointment has never proved ineficacious.
