HOLLOWAY s OINTMENT ANP PILLS . —l e \ v persons are so favoured by circumstances , or so fortified by nature , as to enable them to pass unscathed the sore trials of an inclement seasons . With catarrhs , coughs , and influenzas everywhere abounding , it should be universally known that Holloway ' s Ointment , diligently rubbed upon the chest , checks the worst assaults of these maladies , and
securely wards oil' more grave and dangerous diseases of the throat and lungs . The truth of this assertion may remain unquestioned in the face of thousands of unimpeachable living witnesses who have personally derived the utmost possible benefits from this treatment when their present sufferings were appaling , and their future prospects more disheartening . Both remedies act admirably together , — [ AOVT . ]
