FOR THE CURE OF


Colds, Coughs, Consumptions, Splitting Of Blood,
.Asthmas, 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-
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 ire
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 defi'
ance to the skill ofthe 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 vaiu'
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 disease never known q
mongst them.
For the information Of those afflicted with
complaints of the breast and lungs, the pro-
prictor inserts (fom among the numerous
testimonials in his possession) the following
Certificate:
Baltimme, III Dec. 1894.
I, w. Price, of the city of Baltimore, do
hereby certify and declare, that was for long
time afflicted with 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 aid fevers, and was much emaciated
with loss ofappetite, rest &c. IappGed 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 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 90 for several months,
and am now in better health and flesh thanI
have been for many years. therefore with
confidence, recommend the use OF the Vege-
table Indian Specific to al who suffer under
similar complaint, and as safe, pleasant and
efFectual remedy for consumption, and all dis.
cases of the breast and lungs. w. PRICE.
The celebrated Dr. Cullen has taught Us
that "our first attention should be employed
in watching the approach Of the disease and

especially those born of consumptiye 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

case, particularly need its use. It promotes
expectoration, which is constantly called for;
and whilst cleanses and heals, 1t 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 ismild,
