The Woodstock Rush. The West Coast Times of yesterday reports that the party of Canterbury boys who had pre viously very bad luck, are now getting half an ounce to the load. The whole field is paying well, although, as on every f oldfield, there are a certain number of offers. The weather until the last few days has been so very bad, that outdoor work has been almost at a stand still. It is now very fine, but bitterly cold. Holloway s Ointment and Pills.— Diseases of the Bowels.—A remedy, which has been tested and proved in a thousand dif ferent ways, capable of eradicting poisonous taints from ulcers and healing them up,_ merits a trial of its capacity for extracting the internal corruptions from the bowels. On rubbing Holloway’s Ointment repeatedly on the abdo men a rash appears, and as it thickens the alvine irritability subsides. Acting as a deri vative, this unguent draws to the* surface, re leases the tender intestines from all acrid mat ters, and prevents inflammation, dysentery, and piles, for which blistering was the old fashioned, though successful treatment, now from its painfulness fallen into disuse, the dis covery of this Ointment having proclaimed a remedy possessing equally derivative, yet. t>er fectly painless powers.—[Advt.]
