" Criticism wiix Fostbb Tai/knt/'is an adage too well-known to need dilating upon, especial! as its Is necessary to speak of some*: thing which for many years has defied adverse criticism. Holloway's PiHt and Ointment, at steriing remedies for all complaints, are more familiar than " household words," being m contanb daily uas by thousands of peopie, who looke upon their possession as a positivn necessity. Sending medical authori ties advise their use as reliable medicines m time of need. As a certain cure for all skin diseases they are unequalled, whilst for bile, sick headache, fl*tvency, indigestion, and all liver and stomach disorders, it has been truly ■aid they are worth their weight m gold; The blood is the medium by which &l* nutriment is supplied to the body. No organ, for ita magnitude, possesses a greater abundance of blood vessels than the horse's foot. Nor is greater oare manifested any where to ensure an uninterrupted supply of blood. Marvellous wisdom is displayed m this beautiful structure ; bub ! how barbar ous is the treatment ib receives. A catalogue of evils could quiokly be written, the result of such treatment, but which no skill can effectually remove. The free, natural, elastic step can only be preserved by the observance of natural laws. Our advice is constantly being sought m so-called obscure causes of lameness. Instead of ib being as is generally supposed " the shoulder," the trouble is m the foot. Pressure, irritating and inflnming, prevents free circulation, and pns or matter is discovered m the clift. W. T. Kingston may be consulted at all hours, either at his Forge, Wills street, or at his private residence, Grey street.
