Holloway's Ointment and Pills,— These remedies are unequalled throughout the world for bad legs, wound's, foul sores, bad breasts and ulcers. Used according to directions given with them, there is no very bad leg, or ulcerous sore, however obstinate or long standing, but will yield to their healing and curative properties. Many poor sufferers who have been patients in the large hospitals under the care of eminent surgeons, and have derived little or no benefit from their treat ment, have been thoroughly cured by Hollo way's Ointment and Pills. For glandular swellings, tumours, " piles " and diseases of the skin there is nothing that can be used with so much benefit, In fact, in the worst forms of disease, dependent on the condition of the blood, these medicines, used conjointly, are irresistible.
