Holloway's Ointment and Pills— Abscesses, Erysipelas, and Piles.—Unvary ing success attends all who treat these diseases according to the simple printed directions wrapped round each pot or box. They are invaluable to the young and timid, whose bashfulness sometimes endangers life. Though apparently local, diseases of this nature are essentially blood diseases, but a little attention, moderate preservance, and trifling expense will enable the most diffident to conduct any case to a happy issue without exposing secret infirmities to anyone. The ointment checks the local inflammation and alleviates the throbbing pains. These direc tions also clearly point out when and how Holloway's Pills are to be taken, that their purifying and regulating powers may assist by adjusting and strengthening the constitu tion. F ok the Blood is the Life—Clarke's World-famed Blood Mixture is warranted to cleanse the blood from all impurities from whatever cause arising.
