Holloway's Ointment and Pills. —Old Wounds, Sores, and Ulcers.—Daily experience confirms the fact which has triumphed over opposition for 30 years- - viz., that no means are known equal to Holloway’s remedies, for curing bad legs, Sores, wounds, diseases of the skin, erysipelas, abscesses, burns, scalds, and, in truth, all oases whore the skin is broken. To cure these infirmities quickly is of primary importance, as the compulsory confinement indoors weakens the general health. The ready means of cure are found in Holloway’s Ointment and Pills, which heal the sores and expel their cause. In the very worst cases the Ointment has succeeded in effecting a perfect cure, after every other means has failed of giving any relief. Desperate cases best display its virtues. Directions for mixing carrot akd arsenic for Babbits Quantities, 11b of arsenic to 201b of carrots. Pound the carrots up with a light rammer, not into a pulp, but into small pieces about the size of peas, beans, and marbles. A box about 4ft. long, I ft. 6in. wide, and Ift. deep, with a 2in. plank for a bottom, is a good thing for smashing them up in. Shove out of the way, as they are sufficiently broken up. Do not handle them either before or after mixing, as the rabbits have a very keen sense of smell, and will not take them so freely if they have been handled. When a sufficient quantity is broken up ready for mixing, weigh 201b. of the carrots and spread them in a layer over the bottom of the box, and dust 11b. of the dry arsenic powder all over them; then mix thoroughly with a large iron spoon or spade, rubbing them well together. Anyone mixing can sea when the arsenic is sufficiently mixed with the carrots. A half-pound pepper tin with holes punched in the lid makes a very good dredger for dusting on the arsenic with, and just holds about a pound. Use a spoon in laying the mixture out, put it on any bare ground around the burrows, or in old stone walls is a very good place. The rabbits take it after it becomes quite dry with the sun, but best when fresh. Steeping in arsenic water is not nearly so effective, the rabbits do not take it so freely, and the carrot does not take a sufficient quantity of the poison to make It so deadly. Anyone giving it a fair trial, mixed according to directions, will bo quite satisfied with the I results.
