"A !!-Among the thousand
a medicines advertised as certain cures
for pulmonary eonplsints,' JAYNE'S EX-
PECTORANT stands alone. It's path to
public confidence has been paved, not by
puffs, but by CURES. DR.. Jayne, being
himself Physician, does not profess to per.
form physical impossiblities but he does as
sert, and he is borne cut by well authent:ca-
ted facts. that in all DISEASES OF THE
LUNGS AND CHEST, which are suscepti-
bic of cure without miraculous interference,
his EXPECTORANr willrestore the patient
to health. No other medicine will remove
mucus or'pus from the throat SO thoroughly
as this II eifectually loosens the coagulated
masses from the membrane which lines the
trachea, and at every cough the patient will
bring up portions of the disengaged matter
In all Complaints of the Pulmonary Organs,
even where nature seems to be making no eff.
fort to throw off the disease, Jayne's Exrecto-
rant im?arts vigor to the machinery of respi-
tation, and enables them to dsencumber them
selves of the distractions when had mpeded
their free operation. 1t has restored hundreds
to perfect health, after their physicians had
given them up as incurable, with Consunap.
ton. Cough. colds, asthma, influenza, bron.
chitls. hopping cough, splitting blood, in a
word, all diseases of PULMONARY nature
