us of cures effected in their immediate neigh.
borhoods, warrant us in saying it isspne Of the
best if not the rery best Cough Medicine now

OF the effects of this medicine If he has
been selling it for any length Of time he will
tell You
IT Is THE BEST MEDICINE EXTANT.
Below we give n few extracts from letters
we have received lately regarding the virtues
Of this medicine.
Dr. S. $. Oslin, of Knoxville, Ca, says:-"1

great benefit in his own family, and recon-
mends it to his neighbors." lie gives an in-
stance of negro woman, in his vicinity, who
had been suffering with disease of the Lungs
for years, attended with severe cough, who
was relieved by the Liverwort and Tar.
Such are the good reports we hear of this
