Sherman's Cough LozeRses,
Are the safest, most sure and eneetual remedy
for Coughs, Colds, Consumptions, WhoopinK
Cough, Asthma, TightDess Of the Lghgs OF
Chest, SC. SC. The proprietor has neveTknown
an instance where they did not giva perfect sat-
isfaclion. Several thousand boxes have been
sold within Tho last year, restoring 90 health
persons in almost every stage of consumption,
and those laboFing under the most distressing
colds and coughs They do not check and dry
up the cough, but render it easy, promote ex-
pectoration, allay the tickling or irritation, and
remove the pToximate or exciting cause po.
Tho Rev. Daiius Anthony, Of the oneldO
Conference, was given up as incurable, believed
to be on the verge Of the grave from con sump-
tOn, without the hope Of relief, till be tried
these Lozenges. They relieved him Immedate-
ly, and in few weeks restored hi.n to health, 30
that he could resume his duties as a minister of
the gospel. He recommends them 10 all who are
consumptve or have any arrangement of their
lungs, as the greatest medicine in the known
world He has witnessed their effects on sever-
al others, aud always with the happiest results.
He says so great remedy through the blessings
of Divine Providence, should be the common
property OF all, and in every family on The face
of the earth
The Rev. DR.. Eastmond, OF New York, gave
few to lady, friend of his, who had been
given up by her physician and friends as in the
last stage OF consumption. The first LozengO
gave her considerable relief, that she was en-
couraged to pefsevefe in their use and through
the blessings Of God they restored her to perfect
health.
Mr.. G. T. Matthews. 8 Caroline ST., suffered
year with a hard, tight cough, pain in the side,
splitting Of blood, and all the usual symptoms of
consumption. The Lozenges relieved him inn
mediately,and in few weeks restored him to
perfect health. He says they are the greatest
cough medicine in the world.
/ Over 5000 persons have given their names
within the last year as reference of the won
derful virtues Of these Cough Lozenges. They
cure all recent cases in few hours, seldom res
quirng more than one day to entirely eradicate
tho most distressing ones.
