In any of the above diseases, immediate and permanent relief is obtained by effectually rubbing this detergent Ointment twice a day, upon the neck, chest, and back. It acts upon the very mainsprings of life for through the glands pass all new matter required for the body' repara- tion, and all old particles detrimental to its preservation. The Ointment, used conjointly with Holloway's Pills, will act so searchingly and certainly as to effect cures in the most hopeless enses. Bad Legp Bad Breasts, and Ulcerations of all kinds. There is no medicinal preparation in the world which may be so thoroughly relied upon, in the treatment of the above ailments, as Hollo way's Ointment. Nothing can be so simple or safe as the manner in which it is applied, oi its action on the body both locally and constitutionally. The Ointment, rubbed around the part affected, enters the pores just as salt enters meat. It quickly penetrates to the source of the evil and drives it from the system. Diseases attendant on Childhood. Diseases incident to early life fall more under tl, management of. the mother than the medical man. Hol. loway's Ointment should therefore be regarded by her as "Household Treasure," as it never fails in bringing out the rash in measles and scarletina and for the removal all skin diseases its effect is miraculous. In cases of whooping cough and croup, this invaluable Ointment should be rubbed twice a day upon the throat and chest, and the youngest invalid will derive therefrom the most soothing relief.
