perior efficacy of this Illedicine, in all cases of Colds, Coughs, and
Asthmatic Affections. By promoting gentle expectoration, it very
shortly relieves the patient of a slight or recent Cold, and a few
doses are generally sufficient to remove those which neglect has
trndered more confirmed and obstinate, and which are accompanied
with Cough, Spitting of Blood, and other serious symptoms. Its
rculiar balsamiepowers tend to heal soreness, and allay the irri-
tation of the lungs, in cases of Cough ; and in Asthmatic affections
it swista and gives freedom to ihe Breath.
