Colds, Coughs, Consumptions, Splitting of Blood,

q THERE is perhaps no medical observation
u better established, none more generally
confirmed by the experience of the best physi-
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
ed colds In climate so variable as ours,
where the changes of the weather are fire.
quently 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 dis
ease may be considered as about five to one.
lnasmuch then as this fatal disease bids def.
ance to the skill of the most learned physicians,
it is qualification to the proprietor that he is
enabled to offer to those afflicted with it a
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, that "a
true consumption is disease never known a.
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

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 emaciated
with loss ofappetite, rest &c. Iapplied to Sc
veral eminent physicians, and passed through
course of medicine, but could obtain no re-
lief, and found myself fast verging on to a con-
frmed 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. 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 a
similar complaint, and as safe, pleasant and
efectual remedy for consumption, and all dis
eases of the breast and lungs. w. PRICE.
The celebrated DR.. Cullen has taught us
that sour first attention should be employed
in watching the approach of the disease and
preventing its proceeding to an incurable
state; and in persons of consumptive habit,
especially those born of consumptive parents,
the slightest symptoms ofan approaching con-
sumption at the consnmptive period OF Lite,
ought carefully to be attended to-"
This Specific is obtained by extraction from
