HOLIOWJLY ' H OiyniKUT -iXD Pitts . — Diseases of-Advanced Years . —Tho grand climacteric being passed , mankind passes to o'd age . Then the digestion becomes impaired , the iiervout system grows feeble , and tlio physical powers become enervated . Now arise congestion of the liver , lungs , or head , followed by dropsy asthma , or apoplexy , which frequently afflict and often destroy the aged . As tho liver usually becomes tnrpid , its activity may sppodUv be revived by rubbing Holloway's Ointment thoroughly over the pit of the stomach anil right aide , at least twice a day , and taking the Pills at the same time . This treatment also dispersed all other congestions by varying the parts rubbed according to the situations of the mischief .
