THIS remedy has won for itself such notoriety
from its cures Of every variety Of pulmonary disease
that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the evi-
dences of its virtues in any community where it
has been employed. So wide is the field of its use
fulness, and so numerous the cases of its cures,
that almost every section of the county, abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases OF the
lungs by its use When once tried its superiority
over every other medicine of its kind is too appa
rent to escape observation, and where its virtues are
known, the public no longer hesitate what antdote
to employ for the distressing and dangerous atec-
tons of the pulmonary organs which are incident
to our climate And not only in formidable at
tacks upon the lungs, but for the milder varieties
of CoLDs, CoUGHs, HoARsENEss, &C.; and for
CHILpREAit is the pleasantest and safest medicine
that can be obtained
As it has long been in constant use throughout
this section, we need not do more than assure the
