Cough Mixture.

nOCT. CHAPMAN'S COUGH MIX.
~ TURE, for the cure of Diseases of the
Chest or Lungs, as Coughs, Colds, Inj1tenzaS,
ASthmGS, CGtarrhS, Hectic FeUerS, Splitting Of
Blood, and other diseased Instructions and II
rltations of the respiratory system.
The formula for this preparation of medi-
cine is by that eminent medical gentleman, N
Chapman, M. D professor of the institutes and
practice of medicine in the University ofPenn-
sylvania, physician to the Hospital, and Phila-
delphia Almshouse and Infirmary.
The Cough Mixture has been in use several
years, and It's success is SO much greater than
any other article in the market that we do not
hesitate to recommend It as the most eficacious
medicine forcoughs and affections ofthe lungs
generally, now in use.
1t is proper to add that the Cough Mixture
does not contain opium in any form whatever,
which is productive of bad effects by continued
use, and too often constitutes the basis of the
popular cough preparations of the day.
The number of does each bottle contains is
double to that of any other article offered to the
public, and renders it far less expensive to the
purchaser than any other medicine now in use.

THE FlIGHT OF TIME.
BY PARK BENJAMIN,

BY PARK BENJAMIN.
Time still moves on with noiseless pace,
4. And we are lOiterers by the way;
Few win, and many lose the race,
For which they struggle, day by day:
And even when the goal is gained,
How seldom worth the toll it seems
How lightly valued, when obtained,
The prize that dattering Hope esteems
Submissive to the winds Of chance,
We toss on Lies inconstant sea:
This biIlow may our bark advance,
And that may leave it on the lee;
This coast, which rises fair to view,
May be thick-set with rocky mail
And that which beetles DER the blue,
Be safest for the shattered sail
The cloud that, like little hand,
Slow fingers when the morning shineN
Expands its volumes Ger the land,
Dark as a forest.sea of pines;
While that, which casts vaPory screen
Before the azure realm OF day,
Rolls upward from the lowland scene
And from the mOuntain-tOps away.
Oh! fond deceit! tO-think the fight
OF time will lead to pleasures strange,
And ever bring some new delight,
To minds that sigh and strive for change,
Within ourselves the secret hes,
Let seasons vary as they viii;
Our hearts would murmur, though our skies
Were bright as those of Eden still
