Are Your Nipples Sore?
As I've been going through old newspapers for the railroad company, I usually blow by the patent medicine ads. Yesterday I stopped to look at one. Holloway's Ointment and Pills should be able to cure about anything. Here is a list of what it takes care of. This should be good for some weird Google hits and lord knows what kind of banner ads at the top of this page.
Ailments Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills:
Bad Legs, Lumbago, Bad Breasts, Piles, Burns, Rheumatism, Bunions, Salt Rheum, Chilblains, Scalds,
Chapped Hands, Sore Nipples, Contracted Joints,
Stiff Joints, Skin-diseases, Fistulas, Scurvy, Gout, Sore-heads, Glandular, Ulcers, Swellings, Wounds.
--- Raleigh Register, April 21, 1955.
If you don't know what some of those ailments are, look them up at one of my favorite web sites: The Archaic Medical Terms Dictionary.
