a Climate SO variable as ours. where the changes OF
the weather are frequently sudden and unexpected, II

first attention should be employed in watching the APP
proach of the disease and preventing its proceeding
to an incurable state; and IN persons OF a consumptye
habit, especially those born of consumptive parents, the
slightest symptoms of an approaching consumption at
the consumptive period oflife, ought carefully to be at
tended to-"
This Specific is obtained by extraction from herbs,
roots, flowers, plants, &c. when in perfection. In con:
sequence of happy combination of the most valuable
herbs, &c. it becomes a balsam Of superior value. 1t
heals the injured parts, opens the pores and comPoses
the disturbed nerves after the manner ct an anodyne;
consequently the obstruction of the chest and the lungs
which constitute this disease, particularly need its use;
It promotes expectoration, which is constantly called
for; and whilst it cleanses and heals, it also givesstrength
to the tender lungs. In this manner it removes the
hectic fever, improves digestion, gives strength to the
nerves, repairs the appetite and improves the spirits,
This specific may always be given in safety-it is mild,
pleasant to the taste, and may safely be given TO intarts,
