TNHE extensive demnnd for ANDERSON'S
Il COUGH DROPS and PECTORAL
POWDERS as prepared by James Mellen &
Go. have enabled the propretors to reduce the
price very much to Druggists and also the retail
price to 80 cents for the small, and 75 cents for
the large bottles. From an extensive use for IL
years past, they have proved to be one Of the
most valuable remedies ever yet discovered for
the cure Of Coughs. Colds and other iaAectons
Of the breast and lungs leading to Consumptions.
Thousands have experienced the happy effects
of this Healing Baisam, and many Of the highest
responsibility have voluntarily given certificates,
some of which will accompany each Bottle, that
will satisfy every unprejudiced mind that the
mos, extraordinary and unexpected cures have
been performed by the use of this medicine in
cases of long standing, in which other medicine
had produced no favorable effects, and where
the most skilful Physicians had given them up
as hopeless II is not pretended that they are
an nialhble cure in all cases, but of such as are
incurable, there are but few eases of Coughs or
even seated Consumptons, but may be relieved
by timely use of this Healing Balsam. Each
large Bottle contains about 20 doses, whlch
shows them to be an unusually cheap medicine
considering their virtues.

restored to health by the use of the Vegetable
