4 NEWER AND BETTER PHILOSOPHY

NEWER AND BETTER PHILOSOPHY.
We honor the man who is not afraid to de-
nounce those privileged errors in which the
world for centuries has tacitly acquicacci and
! Is bold enough to advance and advocate new
| or and truer theory which the slaves of prcCc-
dent may choose To call hcrcsy. Such man
! Is homas Holloway, the MEDICAL Revolution
Isr OF our age. His system of medical treat
ncHt is his own. 1t is based on new princ
pies; it has been perfected by research, cxper-
inlcnt, and observation it is prc-eminently
successful. The wonderful results produced
s.&I> Pills in all the varieties of internal dis
ease, and the no less astonishing effects of his
Ointment III external disorders. are notorious
III this country and throughout the globe We
nave had many opportunities OF witnessing the
rapidity and completeness with which ulcerous
complaints are subdued or rather extirpated,
by the combined action of the Ointment and
the Pills. These two great specifics seem re-
ciprocally to assist each other in the cure of
this class of diseases. Many practitioners are
afraid to undertake the healing of a sore leg,
or dcep-scatcd abcess the reduction OF wen
or humor. Well, they may be, for with the
exception of HoLLowAY's, all the methods of
treating these forms of disease are wholly SUI
pCritcal. But he refers them, primarily, to a
vitiatcd condition of the blood, and attacks the
poison thrown into the circulation 10y the Sccrc-
tive organs, at its fountain head, the stomach
and hrer. While the Pills are acting upon
the fluids they eliminate he applies the Oint-
ment to the outlets of disease on the surface,
and strikes at the external inflammation and
decomposition through the pores. Thus the
ulcer, sore. abccss, tumor or cancer, is subjected
to double assault from within and without.
To use Il military phrase. it is completely in.
vested its supply of poison from the interior
Is cut of. and the virus already circulating in
the exterior vessels is ncutralizcd This being
done. the morbid action ceases and the cure is
safely and radically accomplished. The philos-
ophy upon which his practice is based is sound;
its results always salutary .-Lirerpoot Journal.
