Health's Defence!.—None save the strongest can with impunity pass through the sudden transitions from wet to dry, from eold to muggy weather to prevalent during the autumnal and early winter months. Influenza, bronchitis, cough, tora throat, or quinaey will attack those most watchful of their health j but they can readily arrest any of these complaints by rubbing Holloway's Ointment twice a day upon the skin ot«f the affected parts, and by assisting its corrective action with appropriate doses of his Fills.
