EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the bowels
or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant, is ad-

pronounce incurable, admirably allays the tickling which
provokes frequent coughing. In approaching consumption
its effects are truly beneficial. Persons deprived of sleep, or
even lying down for fear of suffocation, may depend on relief
in a few minutes after taking it. I'reparea on,y and sold by
