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 eradiating 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 slvihe 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 wiles, for which blistering was the old tashioned, though successful treatment, now from its painfulness fallen into disuse, the dis covery of this Ointment having proclaimed a remedy possessing equally derivative, yet. per fectly painless powers.—[Advt. The Bad and Worthless are never imitated or counterfeited , This is es pecially true of a family medicine, and it of pojitive proof that the remedy imitated is [is the highest value. As soon as It has been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop 1 Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations * sprang up and began to steal the notices - in which the. prCss and the people of the country had expressed the merits of H. _B., and in every wry trying to induce suffering invalids to use their shift instead, expecting to make money jon the credit and good name of H. B Many others started nostrums put up in simi lax style to H. 8., with variously devised names in which the word “ Hop ” or ’‘Hops ” were used in a way to induce people to believe ' they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such . pretended remedies or cures, no matter what then style or name is, and especially those with the word “ Hop ” or •* Hops ” in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Be ware of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the w> ; te label, and Dr Soule’s name blown in th glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and ch.mists are warned against dealing in 5m ta tions or counterfeit*'
