Hence the extensive application of long known

medical world, and herein it is our particular
province now TO speak, there is scarcely a dis

Of pulmonary affections. The lungs and tho
racic organs generally, are, of all others, most
susceptible of irritation, and at the same time
so carefully concealed from examination. that
even the most experienced stethiscopic pract-
toner frequently mistakes the actual seat of
the disease. The consequence is, that in ap-
plying remedy for, as he supposes, one part
of the system, he accelerates the evil by irri,a-
ting neighborng healthy organ; and that,
which was at first mere temporary affection,
settles into chronic and obstinate case
Scores of such cases occur every day but
scores of such have been cured, and are at this

We are not, however, insensible to the fact
that all specific medicines are liable to suffer
depreciation, in the public esteem, from the
number ofcounterfeit and pre,entious mixtures
which are daily vended under the name of
"Pafents." But We feel no hesitation in SUBJ
mitting to any sensible man whether this cir
cumstance ought to prejudice him against a
medicine, 90 extensively known. and so de-
servedly popular as this. OF cours Sc, the same

this, has oveT-rated Its curative properties At
all events, the genuneness of the article is
sufficiently attested by the increasing public
demand; while all other medicines which pur-

losing caste. The fact is, no remedy has ever
been applied with such truly astonishing re-
