of every kind.
Extracts from Certlhcatesl
DR.. Samuel Morrill, of Concord, N. H., writes
that he is satisfied the Vegetable Pulmonary
Balsan is a valuable medicine, having been used
with complete success in cases which had previ-
ously resisted the most approved prescriptions. -
DR.. Truman Abel of Lempster, N. H.. writes
that he confidently recommends its use in all
complaints of the chests, equal, If not superior
10 any other medicine within his knowledge.
DR.. Amory Hunting of Franklin, Mass. writes
that after having prescribed the usual remedies
without relief, and having consulted with sever
al eminent physicians, he has found the Vegeta-
BILE Pulmonary Balsam to have had the desired
effect, and recommends ii as safe, convenient
and efficacious medicine.
DIR. Thomas Brown, of Concord N. H., writes
that, to bis knowledge, it has never disappointed
