Bile consuu.ptions originate in neglected

where the changes of the weather are
frequently sudden and unexpected, it
requires 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-

10 their knowledge of medical plants;
governed wholly by experience, they
are certain as to their effect, and it 10
said by an author of great character,
that a true consumption is a disease ne
YER known among them.
The celebrated Dr.. Cullen has taught
us that our first attention should be
employed in watching the approach of
the disease and preventing its proceed
ing to an iDcursble state; and in per.
sons Of a consumptive habit, especially
those born of consumptive psrents, the
slightest symptoms of an approaching
consumption at the coDsumptive period

This Specific is obtained by extrac-
tion from herbs, roots. flowers, plaDts,
&c. when in perfection. In consequences
of q happy combination Of the most va
liable herbs, &c. it becomes a baIsam
of superior value. 1t heals the injured
parts, opens the pores and composes the
disturbed nerves after the manner of an
anodyne: consequently the obstruction
of the chest and the lungs which consti-
,ute this disease. particularly need its
use. 1t promotes eXpectoration, which
is constantly called for, and whilst it
c%leanses and heals, it also gives strength
to the tender lungs. In this manner it
remove the hectic fever, improves di.
gestiop, gives strength to the nerves,
repairs the appetite and improves the
spirits. This specific may always be
given in safety-it 10 mild, pleasant to
the taste, and may safely be given TO
infants, for which it is of inestjmable
value. 1t affords relief in bowel com
plants, teeshing, %whooping coughs, &c.
and is found particularly useful in by.
pochondricsl, nervous and hysteFicai
diseases. Each bill Of directions con-
tains a detailed account of this disease
in sill it's different stages, and will be
