confirmed by the experience Of the best physl.

more importance to the human family, than

The celebrated DR.. Cullen has taught us
that sour first attention should be employed
in watching the approach of the disease and
preventing it's proceeding to an incurable
state; and in persons of consumptive habit,
especially those born of consumptve parents,
the slightest symptoms ofan 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, Sc. it becomes
balsam of superior value. Itheals the injur
ed parts, opens the pores and composes 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. 1t promotes
expectoration, which is constantly called for;
| and whilst it clcanses and heals, it also gives
| strength to the tender lungs. In this manner

ton, gives strength to the nerves, repairs the
appetite and improves the spirits. This spe-
cifc may always be given in safety-it is mild,
pleasant to the taste, and may safely be given
to infants, for which it is ofinestimablc value.

whooping coughs, &c. and is found particular.
