COLDS. COUGHS, ASTHMA, AND CONSUMPTION.
TNHEmost celebrated and infalible remedy for
l. colds, coughs, asthma, or any form of pumo-
nary consumption, is the Hungarian Balsam Of
Life, discovered by DIR. 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
supernendence of the inventor. j"
r. DR.. Buchan is distinguished phanthropist 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 Basam is
purely vegetable compound, composed chiefly Of q
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 can be found in the com
munity-cases that seek relief in vain from any o.
the common remedies Of the day, and have beer
given up by the most distinguished physicians al
confirmed and incurabe. The Hungarian Balsam
has cured and will cure the most desperate Of cases
1t is no quack nostrum, but standard English med
icine, of known and established efficacy. r-
Every family in the United States should be sup
piled with Buchan's Hungarian Balsam of Life, moi
only to counterfeit the consumptive tendencies o.
the climate, but to be used preventive medicine
in all cases of colds, coughs, splitting of blood, pair
in the side and chest irritation and soreness OF the
lungs, bronchitis, difficulty of breathing, hectic fe
