SAMUEL EVIN SO N, PBOPBIETQR THE CURE IS AT HAND. TXOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT Scorbutic Eruptions,'as Sore Heads and Scrofulous Sxvcllings.— lf this powerful Ointment bo well rubbed 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 j 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, they are so prepared as to act in unison with it, facilitating and confirming the conquest of the disease Diptheria, Ulcerated Sore Throat and, Quinsey. —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. i 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 affected after they have been fomented with lukewarm water. The purifying and curative powers of this marvellous unguent have novo 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. .Glandular swellings may soon be reduced by following the printed directions. | The Action of the Heart — Dropsy.— The last named disease is commonly preceded by irregular action of ■the heart, and difficult respiration ; which symptoms pre always severe, and evcrgo from bad to worse unless proper means of cure are resorted to. In Holloway's unrivalled Ointment and Pills tho 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 dropsical fluid vanishes, and the sufferer finds all the oppressive (Symptoms daily decline till natural health returns. ' Gout and liheumatism may bo cured with the greatest certainty if largo quantities of the Ointment be well worked into the complaining parts, and this persevcringly done for some time. It is no use to smear it on the skin only, it must be got into tho system. Take as many Pills nightly as will act two or three times during .the 24 hours ; gchaw the use ot coffee, and all stimulants. When these complaintf are leaving the system the virulence ol the complaint frequently seems to increase. ; Indiscretion of Yoth.— Sores, ulcers, and swellings cm with certainty bo cured if this Ointment be thoroughly rubbed all round the complaining parts twice or thrice a day, keeping them covered with 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. From humane motives otters of advice will be answered gratuitously. To aye carriage, the Pills and Ointment should be ob tained in the neighbourhood of the sufferer, and not rom Holloway's Establishment ±,oth the Ointment and the Pills should be used in th following cases : — Bad Legs Cancers Scalds Bad Breasts Contracted and Sore Nipples Burns Stiff Joints Sore-throats Bunions Elephantiasis Skin-disease Bite of Mosqultos Fistulas Scurvy and Sand-Flies Gout Sore-heads Coco-bay Glandular Swell-Tumours Chiego-foot ings Ulcers Chilblains Lumbago Wounds Chapped Hands Piles Yaws. Corns (Soft) Rheumatism \\* There is a considerable saving by taking the arger sixes. ; N.B. —Directions for lie guidance of patients iji every disorder aye affixed to each pot,

Reasons Why DOWNER'S KEROSENE OIL Should! be used by Consumers in preference to »ny _._ne Petroleum Oil. lst.'lt is safe, having a fire test of never less than 125° Fahrenheit. 2nd. It is finished by distillation, without treatment with acids and alkalies as the last process. It is double distilled for tho purxiose of removing the acids and alkalies used in the manufacture of all Tetroleum Oils, but which cannot bo removed except by their process, 3rd. Tho Downer Oil being chemically pure, burns with more brilliancy of flame, consuming less oil for a given amount of light. It less trouble, because the Lamps require less frequent filling, and the wick less frequent trimming. 4th. Although the Downer Oil costs more per gallon than other oils, it is, in the end, cheaper for the con sumer, because it gives a greater amount of light with consumption of oil. Your grocer may tell you he has on sale an oil in uality equal to Downer Oil. Don't believe this story. Downer Oil is quoted and known all over the world as the highest standard brand. This reputation has been achieved by its having been made by a better process and more costly than others, which process has been adhered to from the beginning, without re gard to expense. m- N.B.— DOWNER'S KEROSENE IS THE ONLY BRAND That! willj'give !entirej satisfaction in the Anucapnic Lamp.
