Experience has taught thousands, that the
common opiates and balsarnics, as they are
called, finally aggravate every disorder OF the
breast and lungs,in the most distressing symp-

the digestion, infanle the whole system, IN
crease the difficulty of breathing and excite
fever. But the qualities of this valuable dis
coyery. are eyinced by perfectly opposite CT
fects.
A single trial MIL 3lrove that it restores the.
determination Of the fluids to the surface OF
the body, and brings on the common health

To parents who have children afflicted with

FIRST magnitude, ss it affords immediate re-

Mrs, H. Lee, widow of Richard Lee, jr.
Being desigous to make public for the good
ofothers the excellent quality of Ramlton's
Elixir, prepared by the late Elr. Lee, have
sent youthe following account Of the benefit
have received from it which hope will
iaduce others to give it trial. In conse-
quence of a bruise on the breast received
from fall, my health grew bad, my breathing
became very difficult, and frequently have
had sudd<nl to rise up in my bed with all the
horrors of immediate suEocation. add to
these, a constant pain In my breast, and
cougil, great loss of strength and flesh, and
YOU may conceive that my symptoms evident
~ indicated an approaching consumption. -
The advice of NEST emincsit physician was
resarted to, ard afterwards a second was cali
led in, but without giving me any relief. A
mother physician, who knew nae and the CIR
casnstances of my case, advised me to give
Hamiiton.s Elixir a trial, saying, he had used
il IN his practice,and always found it DO much
good. A bottle was procured from Mr.. Birch's
and found relief before had taken half of
it. Icontiaued to use it, and was soon strong
enough so attenato business. On taking cold
some of my former symptoms return, but are
always removed By a dose or two of the E
fTxlr.
