$tGA a,Cough, which you are
10y neglecting, under the
idea that it is only a
ER&A#EaEHWfkENN NJhN common cold, and that
~E3AEEAAEGANzEEHi@ it will soon wear itself
TFE&ffT out? Let a friend tell
k N 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 darling 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-
} ation, 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 did its work, and
hurried you away. Friend have you no cause to
be alamedl In the above sketch you may see as
in q 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 we'll;
but, being neglected, under the fatal delusion
that it would "wear itself of" 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 fame, until
these tubercles began to soften and suppurate,
leaving, by their liberation, great cavities in the
llungS. AT this crisis, the disease is very difficult
of cure, and oGtentimes sets at defiance all human
means.
In the latter or worst stage, this medicine will
ofentimes arrest the disease, or check its pro-
gresS, and will always make the patient more
comfortable, and ~prolongs his life, and tits there
fore worthy of a trial; but in its i~ncipient or for
mer periods, Consumption is as durable as any
other disease, and DIR. HALLS BALSAM FOR
THE LUNGS, if taken at this time, will cure II
AS SURELY AS 1T Is TAKEN! This is strong lam
guage, butwe can refer you to. numberless living
witnesses to prove that it is truel And therefore,
we earnestly exhort every man, woman and child,
who has a cough, or is subjectto colds, to keep
the medicine by you in the house, and whenever
I you take cold, do not "letit alonen to work mis-,
,hief in your system, but eradicate it thoroughly,
and at once, by this powerfully healing compound
will leave your lungs uninjured, to carry you in
fall yigor toa good old age!
