instances, the wonderful effects of your medicine in
relieving children of very obstinate complaints, such
as Coughing, Wheeling, Choking of Phlegm, Asth-
matte attacks, &C., &c. should not have written

almost hopeless, in family of my acquaintance.
thank Heaven said the doatlng mother, "my child

commend it in the fullest confidence of its superior
virtues; would advise that no family should be
