experience of the best physicians OF all ages ana Ioua ;
tres, and none of more importance to the human 'un''
ly, than the fact that many of the most difficult ana IN
durable ~consumptions originate in neglected COLDS III
a climate so variable as ours, where the changes VI
the weather are frequently sudden and unexpected, II
requires more care and attention to guard against uhs
dangerous enemy of life, than most people imagine
or are able and willing to bestow.-The bills OF mortac
lily exhibit the melancholy fact, that the ProPoruon Oh
deaths by this disease may be considered as ABOUT hre
to one. Inasmuch then as this fatal disease bids dem
ance to the skill ofthe most learned physicians, IT'S agra
~tifcation to the proprietor that he is enabled to offer 10
those afflicted with it a goodly prospect ct relief, IN
that highly valuable remedy the vegetable indian ope-
cifc-The Indians are happy i'll their knowledge OF me-
dical plants; governed wholly by experience, they are
certain as to their effect, and it is said by an author OF
great character, that a true consumption is a disease ne
yer known amongst them.
For the information of those afflicted with complaints
of the breast and lungs, the proprietor inserts (hom
among the numerous testimonials in his possession) the
following Certificate:
Baltimore, It'll Dec. 1924.
/, w. Price, of thecity of Baltimore, do hereby cert
fly and declare, that l was for a long time afflicted with a
severe cold, accompanied with an almost incessant
cough, and pain in my breast and lungs; also, splitting
Of blood, and purplent matter from the lungs, with mght
sweats and fevers, and was much emaclated with loss
ofappetite, rest &c. | applied to several eminent ply
sicians, and passed through a course of medicine, but
could obtain no relief, and found m~yselffast verging ON
to confirmed consumption. Having at length heard OF
the many astonishing cures effected by the pegefdhk In
dian Specific, l was induced to make trial OF 1t, and found
almost immediate relief, and my rest restored. l con-
tinued its use, improving fast, my appetite better, and
all the symptoms of the disease daily diminishing, and in
e., ,.a.6, xno complete1v cured md have remained
so for several months, and i'm now in better health and
flesh than l have been for many years. l therefore with
confidence, %ecommen the use of the Vegetable Indian
Specific to all who suffer under a similar complaint, and
as a safe, pleasant and effectual remedy for consump-
ton, and all diseases of the breast and lungs.
The celebrated DIR. Cullen has taught us that Sour
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 consumptlve
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, sc. when in perfection. In con-
sequence of a 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. mannerc 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 givenin safety-itis did,
pleasant to the taste, and may safely be given to infants,
for which it is ofinestimable value. 1t affords rehet in
bowel complaints, ~teething. w~hooping coughs, &c. and
is found particularly useful in hypochondrical, nervous
and ysterical diseases. Each bill of directions contains
a detailed account of this di sease in all its different sta
ges, and will be accompanied with the signature OF w
