The ointment was the external half of the Hollowayian system. The British Medical Association’s 1912 record reproduces the wrapper’s instruction to take Holloway’s Pills and apply Holloway’s Ointment, followed by a list of complaints including bad legs, bad breasts, ulcers, wounds, sores, tumours, erysipelas and ringworms. The Dictionary of National Biography records that Holloway made an ointment of harmless properties and launched it in 1837. Royal Holloway’s institutional history says the mainly herbal products were incapable of producing the advertised miracle effects. The claim remains unreplicated rather than refuted because the historical sources do not present a controlled efficacy trial of the ointment. The exact system wording and disease list attached here are dated to the 1912 record, not back-projected to the product’s 1837 launch.
