Spirit of the age. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1849-1865, 1854-03-22

Among the numerous discoveries Science has
made in this generation TO facilitate the business
Of life-increase its enjoyment, and even pro-
long the term of human existence, none can
be named l. of more zeal value to mankind, than
this contribution of Chemistry to the Healing
Art. A vast trial of its virtues throughout
this broad country, has rroven beyond a doubt
that no medicine or combination of medicines
vet known, can SO surely control and cure The
numerous varieties of pulmonary disease which
have hitherto swept from our midst thousands
and thousands every year. Indeed, there is
now abundant reason to believe a Remedy has
at length been found which can be relied on,
to cure the most dangerous affections of the
lungs Our space here will not permit us to
publish any proportion of the cures effected
by its use, but we would present the following,
and refer further enquiry to my American
Almanac which the agents below named, will
always be pleased to furnish free, wherein are
full particulars, and indisputable proof of these
stat ements.

]. C. AVER. Dear Sir-My little son, four
years old, has just recovered from a seve! e at
tack Of malignant Scarlet Fever, lis throat was
rotten, and every person that visited him. pro-
nounced him a dead child. Having used your
Cherry Pectoral in California, in the winter of
\ 1850, for a severe attack of Bronchitis, with
entire success, l was induced TO try it on my
little boy. l gave him a tea-spoonful every
three hours, commencing in the morning, and
I by ten O'Clock at night, l found a decided
change for the better, and after three days use,
: he was able to eat or drink without pain.
0 Its use in the above named disease will save
many a child from a premature grave, and re-
lieve the anxiety Of many a fond parent. For
all affections Of the Throat and Lungs, | believe
it the best medicine extant. A feeling Of the
deepest gratitude, prompts me in addressing
you these liEes but for your important dis
covery, my little boy would now have been in
another world.
lam yours, with great respect,
