The matter was taken to Court, and it has been decided that the church could not hold a man to a contract made on that day. Holloway’s Ointment and Pills.— Outward infirmities.—Before the discovery o; these remedies many case of sores, ulcers, &c., were pronounced to be hopelessly incurable, because the treatment pursued tended to destroy the strength it was incompetent to preserve, and to exasperate the symptoms it was inadequate to remove.
