It has been ascertained, that fifty-five thousand persons,
out of a population of upwards of eleven millions, have
been hurried off the stage of life annually into an untimely
grave by Consumption ; and yet it is a melancholy fact,
that no disease is less regarded in its incipient stage : and
it is equally certain, that none are more needful of early
attention than its forerunners and fatal harbingers—Cold
and Cough ; as from inattention to these primary symp-
toms, the complaint often rapidly advances to its latter in-
flammatory stages on the lungs, when all hopes of effecting
a radical cure must be a mere chimera ; for in the first
stages of Pulmonary Consumption remedies are alone likely
to be successful.

To all, therefore, who are thus suffering from the before-
recited complaints, a Remedy is now offered in this Bal-
sam, with the utmost confidence; and the afflicted of
every age will find on trial, with perfect astonishment, that
much less patience and perseverance is needful (under the
blessing of God) to effect a radical cure by this Medicine,
than can be effected by the customary means.

Its admirable properties all combine, in operating with
a mild and sare, yet sovereign effect. It very speedily re-
moves all the causes of obstructed perspiration, from whence
Colds and Coughs arise ; and every other obstruction to
which the human frame is liable from the same causes.

It gently opens the chest, awl affords immediate relief to
those who are affected with obstinate Coughs, Asthma.,
Wheezing, 'Hoarseness, Difficulty of Breathing, and all
Disorders of the Breast and Lungs, by removing the tough
phlegm snrronnding them, which, hy-a mechanical irrita-
tion, excites the tickling cough so extremely distressing to
the patient, and-thus restores the organs of respiration to
their natural and healthy action.

In all the stages of Ilooping-Cough this Balsam has
proved a certain cure, almost to a miracle, even when the
disease has appeared invincibly proof against the pow:T of
medicine ; and, if it lie taken in it% first attack, will
invariably prevent its further progress, and entirely re-
move it.

In fine, such is the virtue of this Elixir, that it is equally

celebrated as a preventive of the above complaints, as it is
for their cure ; and one or two doses will be generally suf-
ficient to repel the first affection, and to prevent the de-
plorable effects resulting from inattention to the primary
symptoms.
It being impossible, in the limits allotted for an address
like the present, to embody the beneficial effects arising
from the Balsam now recommended to the afflicted, the
Proprietor has submitted a few Cases, from the many in
his poeseesion, to conciliate those who might otherwise
reject so valuable a remedy.

CASES.
TO AIR. CONGREVE.

Sir,—The whole of my family bad been afflicted with
truly distressing Coughs for a considerable time ; and,
although we had the be medical aid, found no relief,
until we heard of the successful Administration of your
Balsam in several desperate and almost hopeless cases,
which induced us to give it a trial ; and I now feel happy
to say, that myself, wile, and child (after taking only two
Ifs. bottles) are entirely freed from those tormenting sen-
sations occasioned by incessant coughing, and perfectly re-
stored ; which prompts us to declare it one of the cheapest,
safest, and best Specifics in the world for Coughs of every
description. It would be an act of humanity to publish
this case, that martyrs of affliction may know where to
find an antidote fur their sufferings.

I sin, Sir, your grateful inul obedient servant,
