For many years We have made two
medicines suited to the ailments Of a
vast class OF sufferers. Thousands of
cures have been made by them, and, ia
fact, the word failure could not be coup
led with them. But within the last two
years counterfeits of onr medicines baye
sprung up, dangerous in their close i'm
itation OF our Trade Mark. To secure
the people we have placed upon each
genuine box of Holloway's Ointment
the fac situile of the signature of our
agent, Mr.. los Haydock To counter
felt is felony. We shall ,relentlessly
pursue any one who initiates this with
the utmost vigor Of the law. We most
earnestly beg that the great mass OF the
American people will aid Us In our Of.
forts to protect their health, aud help
US 10 our task Of bringing these most
nnprincipled men to justice. UniforJn-
