Chapman, NJ. n professor Of the institutes and
practice Of medicine in the University Of Penn
sylvania, physician to the Hospital, and Phia-
deIphia Almshouse and Inirmary.
The Cough Mixture has been in use several
years, and its success is so much greater than
any other article the market that we do not
hesitate to rccommend IT as the most efficacious
medicine forcoughs and affections ofthe lungs
generally, now in use.
1t is proper 10 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

purchaser than any other medicine now in use.

As in a solemn reverv,
From earth pass'd away,
And mounted on ETHEREAL wings
TO cliInes of living day.
One whom lov'd sat on the throne
Beyond conception iaii,
Which shone as if The fountain.head
Ofnalure's light was there.
And there were beings beautiful
In all that charms the soul,
With golden harps, whose melting notes
Der the bright region stole.
As gaz'd on with raptured eyes,
saw one stealing in,
With anxious, trembling step, like hlm
Who has committed sin.
No beau,eous robes adorn'd the man,
Blu, filthy raiment hung
In ragged fragments on his form
And speechless was his tongue.
lie drew not near The throne Of light,
But cast a fearful look
AT him whose glory 1T the throne,
And then to fight belook.
lie saw The trees of life, and ran
To find shelter there
But there no hiding place he found
The light was everywhere :!
In wild dismay. he roam'd about
His doom was still the same;
Where'er he went, the light eXpos'd
His flihness and shame.
Though all in that blessed cline
Were glorious and pure,
Ii seem'd The glorie> of the place
His soul could not endure.
And when the shining choir began
Their Sovereign's y, alse TO tell,
The poor wretch wrilh'd and seem'd 10 fe
That place was worse than hell.
He sprang out franlickly, and plung'd
Into the black abyss;
Lost soul he found that even heaven
Possessed no bliss for him.
When this my revery was DER
1t was near midnigi's hour.
And long the solemn subject held
My mind beneath its power.
