FOR THE CURE OF


Colds, Coughs, Consumptions, Splitting Of Blood,
.8sthmas, and all Diseases Of the Breast and
Lungs.
TNHERE is perhaps no medical observation
IL better established, none more generally
confirmed by the experience Of the best physi-
ciany of all ages and countries, and none OF
more importance to the human family, than
the fact that many of the most difficult and
incurable consumptions originate in neglect
ed colds. In a climate so variable as ours,
where the changes of the weather are fire.
quently sudden and unexpected, it requires
moro 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 dis
ease may be considered as about five to one.
Inasmuch then as this fatal disease bids def
ance to the skill ofthe most learned physicians,
it is a qualification to the proprietor that heis
enabled to offer to those afflicted with tia
goodly prospect of relief, in that highly valu-
able remedy the vegetable Indian Specific.
The Indians are happy in their knowledge OF
medical plants; governed wholly by expert
ence, they are certain as to their effect, and It
is said by an author of great character, thata
true consumption is a disease never known q.
mongst them.
For the information of those afflicted with
complaints of the breast and lungs, the pro-
prietor inserts from among the numerous
testimonials in his possession) the following
Certificate:
Baltimore, III Dec. 1924.
J., w. Price, of the city of Baltimore, do
hereby certify and declare, that | was for a long
time afflicted with a severe cold, accompanied
with an almost incessant cough, and pain IN
my breast and lungs; also, splitting Of blood,
and purulent matter from the lungs, with night
sweats and fevers, and was much emacrted
with loss ofappetite, rest &c. Iapplied to Sc
veral eminent physicians, and passed through
a course of medicine, but could obtain no re-
lief, and found myself fast verging on to a con.
frmed consumption. Having a.!ength heard
of the many astonishing cures effected by the
VegetabIe Indian Specific, l was induced to
make trial of it, and found almost immediate
relief, and my rest restored. continuedits
use, improving fast, my appetite betterr&nd
all the symptoms of the disease daily dimhM'
ing, and in a few weeks was completely c%\
ed, and have remained so for several monthN
and am now in better health and flesh than '
have been for many years. therefore with
table Indian Specific to all who suffer undera
similar complaint, and as a safe, pleasant ana
effectual remedy for consumption, and all DIS
eases ofthe breast and lungs. W. PRICE
The celebrated DIR. Cullen has taught US
that t'our first attention should be employed
in watching the approach of the disease ana
preventing its proceeding to an lncuraDie
state; and in persons of a consumptive haDi'
especially those born Of c%onsumptive parents
the slightest symptoms of an approaching coz
sumption at the consumptive period OF ihe'
ought carefully to be attended to-"
This Specific is obtained by extraction trogHN\
herbs, roots, flowers, plants, &c. when mPu\
lection. In consequence Of a happy comoina,
ton of the most valuable herbs, &c. it becomes
a balsam Of superior value. Itheals the muir
ed parts, opens the pores and composes inc
disturbed nerves after the manner of an anon
dyne; consequently the obstruction OF my
chest and the lungs which constitute this as
ease, particularly need its use. 1t promotes
expectoration, which is constantly called ioFi
and whilstit ~cleanses and heals, it also gives
strength to the tender lungs. In this manher
It removes the hectic fever, improves dlses,
ton, gives strength to the nerves, repairs INC
appetite and improves the spirits. THIS sPs'
cifc may always be given in safety-ltisn llo'
pleasant to the taste, and may safely be gwen
to infants, for which it is ofinestimable value.
It affords reliefin bowel complaints, teeth1
whooping coughs, &c. and is found partieq1
" u~sefulin hypochondrical, nervous and N.Y.
