HOLLOWAY’S OINTMENT AND PILLS. —Sudden changes of temper*: ature sorely try all persons subject to rheumatism, sciatica, tic dolorcnx, and many maladies scarcely less painful, though of shorter duration. On the first attack of stiffness or suffering in any muscle, joint, or nerve, recourse should immediately be had , to fomentations of the seat of the disease : with hot brine and by subsequent rubbing in this remarkable Ointment the uneasiness of the part will be assuaged, inflammation subdued, and swelling reduced. The Pills, simultaneously taken, will rectify constitu-, tional disturbances, and renew the strength. No remedies heretofore discovered have proved so effective os the Ointment and Pills for removing goaty, rheumatic, and scrofulous attacks, which afflict all ages and are commonly hereditary. 38
