YNHERE is perhaps no medical observation
Il better established, none more generally
confirmed by the experience of the best physl-
cians 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

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 the most learned physicians,
it is qualification to the proprietor that he is
enabled to offer to those afflicted with it
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

my breast and lungs; also, splitting Of blood,
and purulent matter from the lungs, with night
sweats and fevers, and was much emaciated
with loss of appetite, rest sc. Iapplied to Sc
veral eminent physicians, and passed through
course of medicine, but could obtain no re-
lief, and found myself fast verging OH to a con-
firmed consumption. Having at length heard
of the many astonishing cures effected by the
Vegetable Indian Specific, was induced to
make trial of it, and found almost immediate
relief, and my rest restored. 1 continued its
use, improving fast, my appetite better, and
all the symptoms of the disease daily diminish
ing, and in few weeks was completely cur
ed, and have remained so for several months,
and am now in better health and flesh than
have been for many years. therefore with
confidence, recommend the use of the Pege-
table Indian Specific to all who suffer under
similar complaint, and as a safe, pleasant and
effectual remedy for consumption, and all dis
eases of the breast and lungs. w. PRICE.

especially those born of consumptive parents,
the slightest symptoms Of approaching con-
sumption at the consumptive period Of life,
ought carefully to be attended to-"
This Specific is obtained by extraction from
herbs, roots, flowers, plants, &c. when in per-
lection. In consequence of happy combina-
ton Of the most valuable herbs, &c. it becomes
balsam of superior value. ltheals the injur-
ed parts, opens the pores and c0mposes the
disturbed nerves after the manner of an ano-
dyne; consequently the obstruction of the
chest and the lungs which constitute this dis
ease, particularly need its use. It promotes
expectoration, which is constantly called for;
and whilstit cleanses and heals, II also gives
strength to the tender lungs. In this manner
it removes the hectic fever, improves diges-
ton, gives strength to the nerves, repairs the
appetite and improves the spirits. This spe-
cifc may always be given in safety-it mild,
pleasant to the taste, and may safely be given
to infants, for which it is ofinestimable value.

whooping coughs, &c. and is found particular
ly useful in hypochondrical, nervous and hys-
terical diseases. Each bill of directions con-
tains detailed account of this disease in all
its different stages, and will be accompanied
