p UTLER'S VEGETABLE INDIAN SPR-
- CIFIC, for the cure OF colds, consump
ton, splitting Of blood, asthmas, and all dlsor
ders OF the breast and lungs. The Vegetable
Indian Specific has stood the test of experience,
and proved itself the most valuable remedy
ever discovered for the cure Of Asthma, and
all diseases of the breas, and lungs, leading to
consumption. The following certificate just
received fl ON highly respectable gentleman
will show its value:--
I, Samuel Moore, do hereby certify. that
for upwards OF year was severely sffcted
with pain in my breast, accompanied with .
very bad cough and shortness Of breath and e.
very indication in the opinion o. Physician)
OF approaching consumption. Ater passing
through course of medicine, and finding no
relief, l was induced to make trial OF Butler's
Vegetable Indian Specific, and the use of one
and half bottle, completely restored me
health, and | have remained so ever since, be-
ing upwards of year.
The Gel brsted Dr. Cullen has taught us that
sour first attention should be employed IN
| watching the approach of the disease aud pre-
venting its proceeding to an incurable state
| and in persons of . consumptive habits, espe,
| cially those horn of consumptive parents, ID
| slightest symptoms of an approaching cone
sumption at The consumptive period OF life
| ought carefully to be attended to.
The 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, &c it becomes
balsam of superior value. 1t heals the injur.
ed parts, opens the pores and composes the
disturbed nerves, aher the manner of an anno-
dyEe; consequently the obstruction of the
chest and the lungs which constitute the disease
! particularly need its use. Ii promotes expec.
toration, which is so constantly called for; and
whilst it cleanses and heals, also gives strength
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 found particularly useful IN by
pochondrioaI, nervous and hystericsi diseases
Each bill Of directions contains a detailed &C
count Of this disease in all its different stages
and will be accompanied with the signature Of
the Proprietor in red ink. II is offered for sale
by JAMES THOMSON.
