In the gold- fields and copper mines Holloway's remedies have been largely patronised by the workers to their very great advantage, and they can be confidently recommended as invaluable remedies for inward conjestions, spasms, and cramps m the bowels, and all those condi- tions of the lungs and liver to which those who work underground or m impure atmo- spheres are so peculiarly liable. For cuts, bruises, sprains and st'ffened joints, the action of Holloway's Ointment is eminently healiug and soothing, and a supply should always be at hand m case of need. RAIL\VAT~TIME~ TABLE. .-.
