aimed the high reputation which it has acquired
for Consumptive Complaints and all diseases of the
Lungs, Throat and Chest. 1t has been used proba
bly, with greater success than any other article
known, and many physicians who have had an OPP
p%ortunity of Witnessing its highly salutary effects,
do not hesitate to recommend it as q "safe, con-
venient, and very efficacious medicine, equal il not
superior to any other prescription for The above
complaints within their knowledge, and one which
has seldom disappointed the reasonable expecta-

The proprietors cannot descend to the present
unblushing style of advertising similar articles. 1t

they would merely refer those who wish for further
confirmation Of its superiority to those who have
used it, and to the numerous certificates of Physi-
clans and others, attached to each bottle. The
Vegetable Pulmonary Balsam was for many years
the only article known as Pulmonary BGtsdm. It's
great celebrity has given rise TO a great many Spu-
