The preposterous composition of inilamma
tory drugs; the disappointment repeatedly
experienced In my practice, from remedies,
highly recommended, added to my own pre-
disposition to Pumonic complaints, were
powerful inducements with me to consider,
whether compound, consisting ofvegetable
substances, could not be invented, more free
from the well founded objections of practi-
toners, and better calculated to avert the
threatening destruction of the lungs.
Inow offer to the public, the result of
twenty years experience on this subject No
eHpencc or trouble has been spared in this
composition. That no medicine, for consump-
tive and asthmatlc complaints. has been SO
successful as my Vegetable Pulnionic Deter
