GROUP. ASTHMA, AND
CONSUMPTION,

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 evil
denccs of its virtues in any community where it
has been employed. So wide is the field of its use
fulncss, and 50 numerous the cases of its cures,
that almost every section of the country ahounds
in persons publicly known, who have been rcstorcd
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
KNOWN the public no longer hesitate what antldote
to employ for the distressing and dangerous atfcc-
tons of the pulmonary organs which are incident
20 our climate. And not only in formidable at
tacks upon the lungs, but for the miidcr varieties
of COLDS. CoUGHs, HoARsENEss, &C.; and for
CHILDREN it is the pleasantest aid 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
people its quality is kept up to the best that it ever
has becn and that the genuine article is sold by
