HFall the diseases incident to our climate there
" isnone so universal and at tie same time so in
sdious and fatal as Consumption. In this country
especially Pulmonary Consumption is emphatical
ly ScOliTge, and in its resistless career sweeps
DER the land a destroying Angel, laying low
with relentless hand the strongest and airest o!
our race Hitherto all efforts 20 arrest this dread
disease have proved vain, and all that seemed
within our power was at besttthe alienation OF
suffering, rendering somewhat smoother the GER

The PROPRIETOR in offering this preparation to
the public, would embrace the opportunity to state
upon what grounds it puts forth its merits, and the
reasons upon which it POUNDS its superior claims
to the attention of the afflicted, that all who
quire its use may repose full confidence in its~cu
rative powers. Since its first preparation he has
had the pleasure of witnessing its happy results
in numerous instances but he was determined
not to offer it to the public until he had become
thoroughly convinced of its efficacy. He now
confidently offers it remedy acih0lHG parallel
for the cure of PULMONARY CONSUMPTION
and its kindred diseases.
CONSUMPTION of a tub6rcuzouS character
from time immemorial has been deemed incurdbLe
and considering its frequency and fatality, it is
not surprising that new remedies and new systems
of treatment should from time to time be brought
under the notice of the profession and the public.
Almost every organic and inorganic substance, in
an endless round of combination, has been used
with the hope of checking this scourge of our race
many doubtless believing that in the progress OF
medical knowledge, we should at last obtain the
mastery over Consumption; and in the use OF
the Compound Syrup of Tar and
Wood Napaill, this object is happily attained.
The therapeutic agents employed in the compo-
sion of this remedy, are such as enable it to pre-
rent the secretion Of tu6erculouS natter IN the lungs
and to cause its resolution and absorption after
deposit has commenced, an object achieved by no
other medicine, and the Importance of which the
professional man will at once perceive, since it
brings this form of disease, hitherto pronounced
hopeless, entirely tcithin control. The success
which has attended the administration of this pre-
paration is unparalleled in The records of medical
science, in confirmation of which, the proprietor
would ask careful perusal of the statements of
a few of those who have beenErestored to health
by its powerful agency.
Let the following speak for itself:
g have used Thompson's Compound Syrup of
Tar and Wood Naptha for soms time in my prac
tice and have found it the mostseificent remedy
[ have ever used in ConsumptiSe cases, chronic
catarrh, &c, when great irritahiity, with weak
ness of the pulmonary organs, listed. The Ta-
Pidity with which it acts is greatly in its favor
where dyspnuea or oppression exists, which is I'M
aaediately relieved by it.
"In Pulmonary Consumption it can be used
with confidence. being applicable to every form OF
that disease, and consider it "a medicine well
worthy the attention of physicians, and exempt
from the imputation of empircism.
