As new, since mary years, this Balsam is so well
known, that it is a mett official and an infallible me
dicing for colds, coughs and Asthmas ; that it gives
great relief in the gravel, rheumatism, confumpaon,
cholic, jaumlif?, hesd-achs; that it is also a molt ex
cellent cure in the hooping-^ugh, and in most all the
ficknefles of children, and tor many other difeafesj is
may be seen in the printed directions, in English and
German, given with each bo tie. In eld diseases, of
long standing, it will be necessary to continue the use
of this healing Balsam for a reasonable time, by more
than only one single bottle, and then they may not fear
relief from it, as thoufandr of people can teftify, who
have tried other things without success ; but other dis.
eases are often perfectly cured by the use of only a
finale battle, and often a few doles will perform the
cure; and so is this excellent Balsam also a great pre
server of health.. „
Each bottle is staled ep with the representation of
a certain plant in a heart, and if any balsam under
this name should be fold at any other place, not na
med in my advertisement; the public may be assured
that it is not dc&or Hill's balsam, but counterfeit ; be
cause no other perfori in America is able to prepare
the genuine balsam for want of the principal ingredi
ents, of which dodor Hill's American balsam is comput

SIR;
A BOUT two years and a half ago, I was seized with
" a violent hoarfentfs and (hortnefs of breath. I
sent for a phyfirian, who ordered me to be bled ; I also
took a great many Medicines, but grew w?rfe instead
of better. My head ached so Violently, that it prevent
ted me from getting any rest ; my face and head broke
out in large b otches, which spread so much that I was
in daily fear cf losing my eye-fight. The humour
which difeharged from my face was so very offensive,
that I could hardly bear it myfelf ; but by the use of
your Maredant's Drop, am effe&ually cured. Any
perfin dotting of this may be convinced of the truth;
by calling on Mis. Copfon, at Brompton, or by en
quiriog of Mr. Oiten, coal-merchant, in Witcomb
ftreet, near Leicester- fields. I am, with great refpe&,
fir, your most humble servant,
MARY COPSON.
To Mr. NORTON, Surgeon, Golden-Square.
AFTER having been affl.&cd with a most violent
scorbutic humour, of 13 years ftahding, which
rendered me incapable of business; I have the fatis
fa&iori 10 inform you, I am now perfectly cured, by the
use of your Maredant's Drops. You have my leave
to publish this; hoping it may be the means of pro
curing ben fie to others, afflicted as I was. I am, fir,
your humble servant. GEORGE LANGDON.
