There is perhaps no medical observa
ton better established, none more gene.
rally confirmed, by the experience of
the best physicians Of all ages and coun.
tries and none Of more Importance TO
the human family, than the fact that
many of the most difficult and incura-
BILE consuuptions originate in neglected
colds. In climate so variable as ours,
where the changes of the weather are
frequently sudden aDd unexpected, it
sequires more care and attention to
guard against this dangerous enemy OF
life, than most people imagine, or are
able and willing to bestow. The bills
of mortality exhibit the melancholy
fact that the proportion of deaths by
this disease may be considered as about
five to one. Inasmuch then as this fa-
tai disease bids defiance to the skill Of
the most learned physicians, it is gra.
LITIGATION to the proprietor that he il en-

&c. when in perfection. In consequence
of happy combination Of the most va

of superior value. 1t heals the ipj ursd
parts, opens the pores aud composes the
disturbed nerves after the manner of an
anodyDe; consequently the obstruction
of the chest aud the lungs which consti-
tute this disease, particularly need it's
use. 1t promotes expectoration, which
is constantly called for, and whilst it
cleanses and heals, it also gives strength
to the tender lungs. In this manner it
removes the hectic fever, improves d.
gestion. gives strength to the nerves,
repairs the appetite and improves the
spirits. This specific may always be
