THE CUiiE IS AT HAND. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT Scorbutic Eruptiom.'as Sore Head* and Scrofulous Swellings.—lt this powerful Ointment be well nibbed into the parts affected all skin disease will be speedily overcome. It acts not by repression, but repulsion. It enters the system as salt enters meat, and operates not locally only, but constitutionally purifying the whole system, neutralizing all depraved humours, and effecting a radical and complete cure. The Pills should be taken as an auxiliary to the Ointment, as they are so prepared as to act in unison with it, facilitating and confirming the conquest of the disease. Diptlicria, Ulcerated Sore Throat and Quinsey.-^Xhb above complaints have for twenty years been treated with Holloway's Ointment and Pills with perfect success. The cures have been so remarkable, speedy, and numerous, that these eften fatal diseases are more easily cured by these medicines than even the common sore tnroat, if taken in time. The Kidney*, Stone a nd ifra veL—ln these complaints the Ointment almost acts like a charm, pro viding it is very effectually rubbed over the regions of the kidneys, which it will penetrate and give almost immediate relief, while the Pills should be taken according to the printed directions, when the most extraordinary cures may be effected by this means. Bad- Legs, Bad Breasts, Scrofulous Sores, and* Glandular Swellings. —ln such cases the Ointment operates surely and with a rapidity that resembles magic. It should be rubbed into the parts atfected after they have been fomented with hike warm water. The purifying and curative powers of this marvellous unguent have never failed. An 'old sore, wound, or ulcer always yields to its influence, and in caseu uf bad breasts, or milk fevers, its action is wonderful. Glandular swellings may soon be reduced by following the printed directions. The Action of the Heart—Dvopsy.—The last named disease is commonly preceded by irregular action of the heart, and difficult respiration ; which symptoms are always severe, and ever go from bad to worse unless proper means of cure are resorted to. In Holloway's unrivalled Ointment and Pills the dropsical patient will ever find succour ; the present relief derived from the use of these remedies is marvellously quick and perseverance in the steady application of this famous Ointment invariably results in a cui-e. They act with sucli energy on the circulation and absorbent system that the dropsical fluid vanishes, and the sufferer finds all the oppressive symptoms daily decline till natural health returns. Gout and Ahcumatism may be cured with the greatest certainty if large quantities of the Ointment be well worked into the complaining parts, and this perseveringly done for some time. It is no use to smear it on the skin only, it must be got into the system. Take as many Pills nightly as will act two or three times during the 21 hours ; eschew the use of coffee, and all stimulants. When these complaints are leaving the system the virulence ot the comnj^int frequently seems to increase. -~„!: ",' v ■ Indiscretion of Youth.— Sores, ulcers, and swg^ , can with certainty be cured if this Ointmofti. {T .;. thoroughly rubbed all round the complaining P^'ts '■* twice or thrice a day, keeping them covered witii linen rag spread with the same. . . The Pills must be taken according to the printed directions. The blood being in an impure state perseverance is necessary.
