WILLIAMS begs to inform his numerous friends and the public that pending the erection of those now premises at the entrance to the new Market he has secured Temporary Premises at 96, GREY-STREET, which will be REPLETE on THURSDAY NEXT, the 18thinstant, with a FRESH SUPPLY of PURE DRUOS and CHEMICALS. &c, &c . and hopes to meet with a continuance of that confidence so liberally bestowed on him for the last nine years. itSTObserve the Address:— 96, GREY-STPvEET. THE CUKE IS AT HAND. JTOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT Scorbutic Eruptions'as Sore Heads and Scrofulous Swellings.—lf this powerful Ointment be well rubbed into the parts affected all skin diseS'se 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 bo taken as an auxiliary to the Ointment, they are so prepared as to act in unison with it, facilitating and confirming the conquest of th • .sease Diptheria, Ulcerated Sore Throat and Quinscy —The 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 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. —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 Sviellinrjs. —ln such cases the Ointment operates surely and with a rapidity that resembles magic. It should be rubbed into the parts affected after they have been fomented with luke warm water. The purifying and curativo powers of this marvellous unguent have neve rfailed. An old soro, wound, or ulcer always yields to its influence, and in cases of bad breasts, or milk fevers, its action is wonderful. Glandular swellings may soon bo reduced by following the printed directions. The Action of tha Heart — Dropsy. —The last named disease is commonly preceded by irregular action of the heart, and difficult respiration ; which symptoms we always severe, and evergofrombadto 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 perscveranco 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 dropsical fluid vanishes, and the sufferer finds all the oppressive symptoms daily decline till natural health returns. Gout and llheumatism may be cured with the greatest certainty if large quantities of the Ointment be well worked into the complaining parts, and this perscveringly done for some time. It is no use to smear it on the skin only, it must bo got into this system. Take as many Pills nightly as will act two or three times during the 24 hours ; £ chew the use ot coffee, and all stimulants. When these complaintf arc leaving the system the virulence ot the complaint frequently seems to increase. Indiscretion of Yoth. —Sores, ulcers, and swellings ca.n with certainty be cured if this Ointment bo thoroughly rubbed all round the complaining parts twico or thrice a day, keeping them coverod with linen rag spread with the same. Tho Pills must be taken according to tho printed directions. The Wood being in an impure state persevcranco is necessary. From humane motives ctters of advice will be answered gratuitously. To aye carriage, the Pills and Ointment should bo ob ained in the neighbourhood of tho sufferer, and not rom Holloway's Establishment jjoth the Ointment and the Pills should be used in th follovnng cases: — Bad Legs Cancers [Scalds Bad Breasts Contracted and Sore Nipples Burns Stiff Joints Sore-throats Bunions Elephantiasis Skin-disease Bite of Mosquitos Fistulas Scurvy and Sand-Flies Gout Sore-heads Coco-bay-1 Glandular Swell-Tumours Chiego-foot ings Ulcers Chilblains Lumbago Wounds Chapped Hands Piles Yaws.
