Holloway’s Ointment and Pills combine both sanitive and sanative powers in a high degree—by the former tetm is understood their ability to preserve health, by the latter their capability to restore health. With these reme dies at bund no invalid need be at fault to guide himself or herself safely through the many trials to which everyone is subjected during our long and ofttiraes inclement winters. Coughs, colds, ulcerated throats, diptheria, whoopmg_ cough, can be successfully treated by well rubbing this Ointment upon the chest, andby taking the Pills. During damp foggy weatherasthmatical sufferers will experience the utmost possible relief from . the inunction of the ointment on all tender chested persons will save endless misery by adopting this treatment. —[Advt.]
