A READER have you
nA Cough, which you are
W 49, neglecting, under the
idea that it is only a
E&MkzAMIYEN3 common cold, and that
SSs3rADEzMANSAAa% it will soon wear itself
TWI#TfT out7 Let a friend tell
kA ~A you, in all kindness,
what will soon be the
probable result.
In a short time, if you continue to neglect your
self, you will begin to feel a sense Of tightness
and oppression across the chest, accompanied with
frequent sharp darting pains. Then a dry, hack
ing cough will set in, and when you raise any
thing it will be a thick and yellowish, or white
frothy matter, streaked, perhaps, with blood. If
you still take no medicine, these unpleasant symp-
toms will increase, and You will soon have hectic
fever, cold chills, night sweatS, copious expecto-
'atlon, and then great prestratiOn. If you still
neglect YOURSELF a few weeks or months will see
you consigned to the grave, leaving your friends to
mourn how rapidly consumption lid its work, and
hurried you away Friend! have you no cause to
be alarmed1 In the above sketch you may see as
in a glass, how every case Of consumption pro-
crosses, with more or less rapidity, to a fatal ter
mination. OF all the thousands and millions
whom this great Destroyer has gathered TO the
tomb, every single case began with a cold! If this
had been attended to, all might have been well;

that it would "wear itself off, it transferred its
deadly action to the substance of the lungs, ex-
citing there the formation of tubercles. Another,
and another cold added fuel to the flame, until
these tubercles began to soften and suppurate,
leaving, by their liberation, great cavities in the
lungs. At this crisis, the disease is very difficult
of cure, and oftentimeS sets at defiance all human
means.
In ahe latter or worst stage, this medicine will
oftcntimes arrest the disease, or check its pro-
gress, and will always make the patient more
comfortable, and p~rolongs his life, and it is there
fore worthy OF a trial; but in its incipient or for
mer periods, Consumption is as durable as any
other disease, and DIR. HALLS BALSAM FOR
1.-THE LUNGS, If taken at this time, will cure II
AS SURELY AS 1T Is TAKENl This is strong Ian
guage, but we can refer you to numberless living
witnesses to prove that it is true! And therefore
we earnestly exhort every man, woman and child
who has q cough, or is subject to colds, to keeI
the medicine by you in the house, and wheneveI
| you take cold, do not "let it alone" to work mis-
jhief in your system, but eradicate it thoroughly
and at once, by this powerfully healing compound
will leave your lungs uninjured, TO carry you il
fun vigor to q good old age!
