HAMILTON's ELIXIR.
FOR COUGHS.

TUX NOO6AAsSs
THE increasing reputation OF Hamilton,
Elixir (which during the last nsne years ma
become celebrated throughout the y States,
warrants the assertion that it IS the best RENE
dr. now ia use for colds, obstinate coughs
asthmas and approaching consunptohs--
Experience has taught thousands, that TN
common opiates and balsamics, as they ar'
called, finally agglayate every disorder OF th'
breast and lung in themost distressing syMp
toms, that they load the stomach and lmPai
the digestion, inhame the whole system, III
crease the difficulty Of breathing and excite
fever. But the qualities of this valuable dis
coyery are eyinccd by perfectly opposite Ell
fects.
A singze triol will troDe that 1t restores the
determination of the fluids to the surface OF
the body and brings on the common health
full perspiration that it dislodges and esacu-
ate the tough vicid phlegm or mucur,strength-
sns the weakened vessels ofthe lungs sheathes
the acrimonious liquor which irritates them
and finally discharges it. Thus striking at the
root ofthe disorder the symptoms are ettec-
tually and permanently conquered,the reverse
stitutlon and gives strength to the disorder,
or the sake of moGerating for the present
some of its painful effects.
To parents who have children afflicted with
the hopping cough, this discovery is of the
first magnitude, as it affords immediate re-
lief, checks the progress, and In short time
entirely removes the most cruel disorder to
which children are liable. The Elixir is per-
fectly agreeable, and the dose so small, that
no difficulty arises in taking it.
