QIMCO'S ESSENCE OF LINSEED is an in-
valirible remedy. Price Is. lid. and 2s. 9d. per

Bottle.

From time immernor:al Linseed has been proverbial for its
virtues in the cure of Coughs and Colds ; but previous to the
discovery of the present Chemical Essence, it was merely used
in the form of tea, and its benefit comparatively limited. This
Essence contains all the medicinal properties of Linseed in a
highly concentrated form, combined with other medicinals and
herbs, producing the most certain and efficacious remedy for
Coughs which has yet been discovered.
Children's Coughs, as recent ones in Adults, will be re-
moved by a few doses of Simco's Essence of Linseed (frequently
by the first) ;
old standing Chronic Coughs may require per-
severance, but they ultimately yield to its curative powers.
Asthmatic persons, who previously had not been able to lie
down in bed, haze received the utmost benefit, and others suf-
fering from Influenza have been speedily cured by this valuable
1 medicine.
