A CERTAIN AND SPEEDY CURE FOR

INFLUENZA, COUGHS, COLDS, AgTHMA,
INCIPIENT CONSUMPTIONS,
AND ALL DISORDERS OF THE CHEST AND LUNGS.

SPENCER'S PULDIONIC ELIXIR,
carefully prepared from the Recipe of the late C. SPENCER,
Surgeon, &c., Salford, Manchester, deservedly celebrated as
the most successful practitioner in all pulmonary affections.
Of all complaints incident to the human frame, those of the
Lungs appear to be most peculiar to this climate, especially in
damp, foggy weather, and during the winter months; whilst
persons of every age and station of life are alike the subjects of
attack. SPENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR is admirably adapted
to promote expectoration, ease the breathing, loosen the
phlegm, abate fever, allay the tickling sensation which occa-
sions the cough, without tightenhlgthe_chest.

The PULMONIC ELIXIR Was originally prepared by the late
Mr. Spencer, whose signal success in dispensing it can have
the ready testimony of thousands, who have experienced its
efficacy. The recipe is now solely known to the present Pro-
prietors, who purchased it from the widow of the inventor.
The two great characteristics of the Elixir are, the allaying of
all irritation in the delicate and susceptible coating of the
throat and chest ; and the imparting of tone and vigour to the
respiratory organs, whereby they are enabled to discharge their
functions freely, and thus to overcome all difficulty of breath-
ing arising from a cold, foggy, or impure atmosphere, and to
throw off those insidious attacks which too often lay the
groundwork of Consumption. For all temporary and local
affections, as Wheezing, Irritation of the Throat, Huskiness of
Voice, and Influenza, the Ptit.stoNtc ELIXIR gives instant
relief, while in more Chronic Disorders (as periodical Coughs
or inveterate Asthma) it is equally efficient, though of coarse
requiring a little more perseverance in the use of the medciine.
Innumerable cases of well-attested cures have been received
by the Proprietors of SPENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR. The
following is the most recent : _ __ _

"Messrs. bIO'ITERSHEAD and CO., of Manchester, beg to
hand the following Testimonial, just received by them, ad-
dressed to the Proprietors of SPENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR.
" SIRS,-1 feel it a duty I owe to you and the public to ac-
knowledge the great benefit I have received by taking SPEN-
CER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR. I have been troubled for the last
three years with a severe comb, and a disease on my lungs; I
have consulted some of the ablest medical men in Manchester
and Nottingham, but without receiving anything but a tempo-
rary relief, for a short time, and always at a great expense. At
the latter end of 1844, I had occasion to visit London. Before
this time, I never heard of your invaluable Elixir; a friend
of mine recommended me to try it. As I found the London
air made my cough much worse than it had ever been before,
I did try it. and experienced great relief from the first dose I
took; t persevered, and one small bottle of your Elixir, price
Is. lid., did me more good than 1 have ever received for twenty
times the amount,Jor which I feel very grateful.
" remain, Sirs, yours, thankfully, 41 SM.
