Scorbutic Emiptions,\as Sore Heads and Scrofulous Swellings.— lf this powerful Ointment be well rubbey ' into the parts affected all 'skin disease will be speedild ~., J overcome. It acts not by repression, but repulsion, j It enters the system as salt enters meat, and operated not locally only, but constitutionally purifying'the ' whole system, neutralizing all depraved humours, ;;ii 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 ft, facilitating and confirming the conquest of the diseaso; '£C| Diptheria, Ulcerated Sore Throat and Quinsey.— Tha,, ;'.'■ above complaints have for twenty years been treated .., ; : with Holloway's Ointment and Pills with perfect success. The cures haw been so remarkable/ speedy,' n and numerous, that these often fatal diseases.are more «> easily cured by these medicines than even the common ~■ "'• sore throat, if taken in time. The Kidneys, Stone and Gravel. —In these complaints the Ointment almost acts like a charm, pro- a vidingitis very effectually rubbed over the regions ot^i'; A 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 «ures may bo 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. . f magic It should be rubbed into the parts affected ' ; after they have been fomented with lukewarm water. .;-•■*;'■ The purifying and curative powers of this marvellous . (t > | unguent have neve rfailed. An old sore, wound, or, ' ulcer always yields to its influence, and in cases of bad <\ : | breasts, or milk fevers, its action is wonderful, urffjj Glandular swellings may soon be reduced by following > | the printed directions. The Action of the Heart — Dropty- —The last-namli' " disease is commonly preceded by irregular action of the heart, and difficult sespiration ; which symptoms are always severe, and ever go from bad to worse unless proper means of cure are resorted to. In Holloways 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 cure. They act with such energy on the circulation and absorbent system that the dropsies . g fluid vanishes, and the sufferer finds all the oppressiv symptoms daily decline till natural health returns. Gout and Rheumatism may be cured with thfl 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 f 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 24 hours; .gchew the use of ■ ;, !f coffee, and all stimulants. When these complaintt < ',-( are leaving the system the virulence ot the complaint frequently seems to increase.
