Free expectoration is the most important OBJ

so distressing is simply the result of desire to
expectorate; and as long as foul matter exists
IN the air passages, it will continue to irf1tate
the membrane and provoke cough Cough
ing is an attempt to throw off this matter, and
expectoration gives great relief inability to ex-
pecterate In the latter stages of consumption is

DFs. CARTER,S COUGH RALsAM

THOR the cure of Coughs, Colds, Asthma,
Il Consumption, Bronchitis, Splitting of Blood,
Pain in the side and breast, Pleurisy, Whooplng
Cough and all diseases of the Lungs and Chest.
Among all the celebrated remedies of diseas-
es of the lungs and chest, none seems to be meet
ing with such and to give such entire sat
isfaction to all, as
DR. CARRIERS COUGH BALsAM.
This valuable remedy is purely vegetable in
it's ingredients, and perfectly harmless in all its
qualities. 1t isyery soothing and healing to the
lungs, land is everywhere acknowledged by Drug
gists, Physicians, and all who have used it to be
the most effectual curative known.
CONSUMPTION.
Nodisease incident to our climate is so univer-
sal. and at the same time SO fatal, as Pulmonary
'Consumptioa. This awful malady sweeps ovef
the land as q destroying Angel, laying low the
strongest and fairest of our race. Millions
of the young and old are annually hurried to the
tomb by this dread national disease. ...4o
Consnmptive Reader Beware of mere pal
1iative medicines. The object of nearly all the
medicines now offered for diseases of the lungs,
is to relieve and not to Such is not the case
with DIR. Carter's Cough Ba1sam. In colds and
coughs, which are the first symptoms of con-
sumption, it is the most pleasant and eficacious
remedy that can possibly be used. In confirm
ed Consumption It has been used with perfect
and triumphant success, when the most eminent
physicians had given up all hope as vain. So
confident is the proprietor of its power to cure
Tuberculous Consumption, that he solicits trial
in the worst of cases.
spIrTING OF BLOOD.
This frightful symptom of consumption is
speedily checked and prevented by the use of
T5r. CaTter's Cough Balsam, which heals the
affected membrane, removes the incipient tuber-
cIes. and restores those vital organs, the lungs,
to a sound and healthy condition.
DIR. cARTER's COUGH BALskM
is great expectorant. 1t dissolves the morbid
and diseased matter in the air passages, changes
it from a thick glutinous substance to thin
harmless fluid, and throws it off with the great
est possible ease and comfort to the patient.
There is no better medicine. IN the world if its
expectorant qualities alone be considered.
