Holloway's Ointment and Pills. Outward Infirmities.—Before the discovery of these remedies many cases 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 ft was inadequate to remove. Holloway’s Pills exert the most wholesome powers over the unhealthy flesh or skin, without debarring the patient from fresh air and exercise, and thus the constitutional vigour is ■husbanded while themost malignant ulcers, abscesses, and skin diseases] are in process of cure. Both Ointment and Pills make the blood richer and purer, instead of permitting it to fall into the poor and watery state so fatal to many laboring under chronic ulcerations.
