FEW Diseases have been found more perplex-
ing than the Hooping Cough, and the Medicines
usually administered for this alarming Complaint haviiig

The Patient will soon be relieVed from that convulsive af-
fection .termed Hooping; and by persevering strictly accord-
ing to the Directions, two or three Packets have almost inva-
riably been found sufficieht to effect a certain Cum. It may
be administered with perfect. safety to Children of the most
tender age, as well as to those at a more advanced period.
Prepared by Mr. Parsons, Surgeon, West. Mailing, Kent,
and sold in Packets, at ‘2s. 9d each; y Messrs. Butler,. Che-
