They are in use as Family Medicine, and all
who have used them give them the preference to

Headache and Sickness.

Palpitation of the heart, lowness of spirits, and
dependency, are Immediately relieved by Sher-
mans Camphor Lozenges. Persons travelling or
attending crowded parties will find them to relieve
all fatigue and give buoyancy to the spirits. At
ter nights dissipation they dispel all those un-
pleasant sensations so usually following the too
free liver. Temperance people will find them
soothing to the disturbed nerves oftlreir new con-
verts. The most distressing headache yields to
these loZenges in less than ten minutes. The
r-fatigued mind or body cannot find so great
relief from any other article. Capt Chadwick. of

NIGHT SWEATS AND PAIN IN THE SIDE.
Jonathan Haworth, Esq. the well known Tenn
perance Lecturer was attacked with cold from
sleeping in damp Sheets in the winter of 1s4l. He
neglected it at first, but soon found it assuming a
somewhat alarming aspect, and then resorted to
the various remedies usually recommended for lung
complaints. When one thing failed he tried an
other, until ne had exhausted his patience and the
whole catalogue of remedies. His cough was al
most incessant, so that he could get little or no
sleep-attended with pain in his side, splitting of
blood, night sweats, and all the usual symptoms of
Consumption. While at Rome, IN y he felt that
his end was nigh-that in that place he must soon
end his journey of life. Provdentialy, a lady
who visited him advised trial of DR. Sherman's
Cough Lozenges. He accordingly sent and got a
box, and the first dose gave him more relief than
all the other medicines he used before. By the
time he had taken one small box, he was able to
start for the city of New York. and in three weeks
time he was perfectly restored to his usual health.
He often announces the fact to his hearers, when
lecturing on Temperance, and says he owes his
life to DR. Shermans LOzenges
From the Cincinnati Daily Times, of Jam 4th 1874
Coughs-The variableness of the weather this
winter has caused an unusual number of persons
to be afflicted by colds and coughs--scarcely
family has escaped; and with many, carelessness
in attending to cough, has laid the foundation for
consumption Our family has not escaped the
general affiiction, but owing to remedy, used
for the first time, they were speedily cured. Sher
mans Cough Lozenges, which we were induced
to try, proved what they represented to be- and
affected cure in a few days of troublesome
cough, which appeared SO deeply seated that
seemed doubtful if il could be removed at ALL
