years. L months. and 10 days. She join

and lived a faithful and consistent member
until removed by death.
In honor to her memory we would say.
the deceased was faithful wiie-a con.
stant friend, an obliging neighbor;s ever
willing to administer to the wants and re.
lief of the poor and suffering; never con-
sidering she had done enough while any
thing more remained TO be done. But
where she could not be useful she was
never meddlesome or obtrusive. She nev.
er willingly aspersed the character of the
absent herself, nor countenanced the prac-
tice in others. In word. she lived as
she died-a christian. She has left large
circle OF relatives and friends who had n OF
the privilege of printing the last kiss on
her marble lips; but have the assurance.
if faithful christians, thar they will NEE,

Consumption prevails as matters are. and picks
off the best and Prettiest of US in our prime. In
this state Of things we must do the best we can.
piece and patch up the web Of life. with journeys.

The inve ntor of this medicine, DR. WIsrAR, was
a man of science. Of humanity, aud undoubtedly
prepared the remedy in its best form.
TO FAMILIES.
From the great usefulness of this medicine the
proprietors would especially recommend it as a
general FAMILY MEDICINE, and advise eve-
ry family to keep it constantly by them as it will
not only be found much superior to the Cough
Mixtures in common use. but likewise much more
safe for either children or adults.
1t not only eminates fro III regular physici an. .
but has been well tested in all the complaints for
which il is recommended. 1t is not my intention,
therefore, either to cloak it in mystery. in any
way deceive the public by overrating its virtues;
an the contrary, shall simply give brief state.
ment ofits usefulness and flatter myself that its
surprising efficacy will furnish proofs of its virtues
that will satisfy the most incredulous, that Con-
umption may and ..CAN BE CURED" if this
medicine be resorted to in time.
