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 ev-
dences Of it's virtues in any community where 1t
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 country 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 appar-
emit to escape observation, and where its virtues are
known, the public no longer hesitate what antidots
to employ for the distressing and dangerous afeo-
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, HoARsENRss, &C.; and for
CHILDREN it 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
people its quality is kept up to the best that it ever
has been and that the genuine article is sold by -
j. NJ. Kirkbride, Woodsfeld; Armstrong
Mooney & Co., Beallsville; Kotzebue

cines everywhere.
