Diseases Of the skin, Coughs, Colds, Splitting Of

but short time before the public yet it has gained
perhaps more character and reputation as a cura-

DR. MARTINS COMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD

try that has afforded relief and gave satsfac-
ton than this. In the neghborhoed Of Brownsville

We pronounce il unequaled for the cure Of Coughs,
