COLDS, COUGHS, ASTHMA AND CONSUMPTION
VNHE most celebrated and infallble remedy for
Il colds, coughs, asthma, or any form Of palmo-
nary consumption, is the Hungarian Balsam Of
Life, discovered by DR.. Buchan Of London, Eng.
land, tested for upwards of seven years in Gres,
Britain and on the continent of Europe, and intro
duced into the United States under the immediate
superintendent of the inventor.
DIR. Buchan is distinguished phianthropist and
elder of the Society Of Friends, and member Of the
royal college of physicians and surgeons celebrated
for his valuable discoveries in the treatment Of scro-
fulous consumption. The Hungarian Balsam is
purely vegetable compound composed chiefly Of
Hungarian gum, Of wonderful power in pulmonary
diseases.
The astonishing success Of the Hungarian Balsam
IN the cure ofevery form Of consumption, warrants
the American agent in soliciting for treatment the
worst possible cases that can be found in the CON-
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 incnrable. The Hungarian Balsam
has cured, and will cure, the desperate of cases
IL is no quack nosrum, but standard English med
cinc, of known and established efficacy.
Every family in the United States should be sup
piled with Buchan's Hungarian Basam 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
in the side and chest irritation and soreness Of the
lungs, bronchitis, difficulty of breathing, hectic f.
yer, night sweais, emaciation and general debility
asthma, influenza, whooping-cough, and Group.
In case of actual disease of the lungs, or seated
consumption, it is the only source of hope.
