LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM. -Ax

affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant, is admitted to
be the best medicine for immediately relieving coughs, colds,
confirmed cases of asthma, and incipient consumption. It fre-
quently cures persons whom the faculty pronounce incurable,
and admirably allays the tickling which provokes frequent
coughing. In approaching consumption its effects aro truly be-
neficial. Persons deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear
of suffocation, may depend on relief in a few minutes after tak-
ing_it. Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist,

gists, in bottles, 13fd.. and three quantities in one, 2s. 9d. each.

done. With many thanks trom your ofredient servant,
