CHILDHOOD.

BY REV. EDWARD &. JONES.

Ancient Fiction and NJ odern Fact.

The Enchanted Slave story which Ger
vantes puts into the mouth of Don Quixote
was doubtless intended as satire upon the
extravagant professions and miserable fail
ure of the ply si ioians of that day. But the
fctions of one age sometimes become the
facts Of another, and could Cervantes revisit
the earth, e would see many of the cures
ironically attributed to Don Quixote's nos
,rum, actually accomplished by Holloway's
Ointment. The magic Of science has
shamed the legends of necromany, in the
beuefcent effects of the remedies introduced d
by that distinguished man.
Extravagant eulogy is ''not in our way
but there is a difference between fattery
and simple justice. 1t has happened that in
several instances we have witnessed the ei-
feet of Holloway's Ointment upon external
diseases. That il will cure erysiPelas. salt
rheum, and virulent, deep-seated ulcers, we
Can testify from facts that have come under
our own obsers alton, aud if faith is to be
placed in the consentaneous declarations OF
the thousands and tens of thousands who
have tested its properties in this county
and throughout the world, there can be no
doubt that it is a speci6c-the only specific
for scrofula and cancer. The late war
in Europe afforded grand opportunity to
ascertain it's value as dressing for flesh
wounds, fractures and contusions, and it ap-
pears from the published official reporters OF
the army surgeons, that its application in
such cases was followed by very remarkable
results. The pain and inflammation Of the
parts ra pidiy subsided, and healthful reaction
ensued. snjuries for which the ordinary
recipes were the tourniquet, the saw and
The amputa ting knife, were cured without
difficulty by the use o: this powerful recupe-
rant.
Probably no class of our countrymen bet
ter understand the value o: Holloway s
Ointment than the 6enZeDs OF the iar west i.
1t is in fact their "sslve for every sore, "
whether occasioned by accident or the re-
suit OF hardship and exposure. The South
ern planters regard it as an indispensable
itam in their plantation dispensaries, and
use i, almost universally as remedy for the
eruplions and glandular diseases SO COM
mon among their negroes. In New Eng
lahd, where inventions and discoveries are
geaerally at the outset looked upon with
distrust, the Ointment has attained an ex-
traordinary degree of popularity, and the
demand for it in the states of New York,
and Pennsylvania has been quadrupled
within three years. In fact, il has no rival
in public esteem among the remedies OF the
age, if we except the celebrated pills for in-
ternal diseases introduced by its world re-
nowned inventor.
In the olden time, the lau AWARDED to
every Roman who saved the life of fellow
citizen a civic crown. II the Eioderns had
perpetuated the custom, Hollowav's Rega-
liza would by this time have been the eighth
wonder of the world.-N. q. Crescent.
