COLDS, CoUGHs, ASTHMA, AND CONSUMPTION
INHEmost celebrated and infallibe remedy for
i colds, coughs, asthma, or any form Of pumo.
nary consumption, is the Hungarian Balsam OF
Life, discovered by DR.. Buchan, Of London, Eng.
land, tested for upwards Of seven years in Great
Britain and on the continent of Europe and intro.
duced into the United States under the immediate
superintendence Of the inventor.
DR.. Buchan is distinguished philanthropist and
elder Of the Society Of Friends and member of the
royal college of physical and surgeons celebrated
for his valuable discoveries in the treatment of scro-
fulous consumption. The Hungarian Balsam is a
purely vegetable compound, composed chiefly of a
Hungarian gum, of wonderful power in pulmonary
diseases.
The astonishing success of the Hungarian Balsam
IN the cure of every form of consumption, warrants
the American agent in soliciting for treatment the
worst possible cases that be found in the COM
munity--cases that seek relief in vain from any OF
the common remedies Of the day, and have been
given up by the most distinguished physicians as
confirmed and incurable. The Hungarian Balsam
has cured and will cure, the most desperate Of cases
Ii is no quack nostrum, but a standard English med
cine, Of known and established efficacy.
Every family in the United States should be sup
piled with Buchans Hungarian Balsam of Life, not
only to counteract the consumptive tendencies OF
the climate, but 10 be used preventive medicine
in all cases Of colds coughs splitting of blood pain
!" anu CncSt, bTTldtlOn anu soreness OF tne
lungs, bronchitis, difficulty Of breathing, hectic fe-
