Balsam Of Life, discovered by the celebrated DR..
Buchan Of London, England, and introduced into

tendence Of the inventor. .. .....-
The extraordinary success of this medicine in the
curse Of pulmonary diseases, warrants the American

SlBLE CASES that can be found in the commu-

cured and will cure, the mosl desperate of cases.

medicine, of known and established efficacy.
Every family in the United States should be sup
piled with Buchan's Hungarian Balsam Of Life, not
only to counteract the consumptive tendencies of
the climate, but to be used preventive medicine
in all cases of Colds, Coughs, Splitting Of Blood,
Pain in the Side and Chest, Irritation and Soreness
of the Lungs, Bronchitis, Difficulty Of Breathing,
Hectic Fever, Night Sweats, Emaciation and Gene
raj Debility, Asthma, Influenza, Hopping Cough,
