THOMAS RICHARDS, 37, Great Queen Street, Long Acre. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT and PILLS. -Bad legs, bad breasts, ulcers, abscesses, wounds, and sores of all kinds may be thoroughly healed by the application of this Ointment to the parts affected, after they have been duly fomented with warm water. The discharge should not be checked at once, but rather encouraged, for any sudden check must, of course, be always dangerous. Nature is the noblest of physicians, and must not be opposed, but seconded. All sores are for a time the safety valves of the constitution, and should not be closed or healed until they assume a healthier character. Under the action of this powerful Ointment, aided by the Pills, the depraved humours of the body will be quickly removed.
