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
dences of its virtues in any community where it
has been employed. So wide is the field of its
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 appa-
rent to escape observation and where its virtues
known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote
to employ for the distressing and dangerous affec-
tons of the pulmonary organs which arc incident
to climate. And not only in formidable at
tacks upon the lungs, but for the mildcr varieties
OF COLDS, CoUGHs, HoARsENEss, &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
has been, and that the genuine article is sold by
J.S. Farrand, Detroit; Henry Griffin, Grand
Haven; III. &. Post, Holland; Steel & Hedges,
Steels Landing; and by all dealers in medicines
everywhere.

say may, WON'T you! %
The words we're uttered IN. plaintive
and sadly entreatiug tone, the hands of the
speaker clasping the knees of the listener
1t was boy of seven years who lisped
them; a beautiful boy, with fair high brow,
around which there clustered glorious
wreath of aaburn curls with dark, fash
ing eyes checks rosy with health; lips
like the cherries of summer, and voice
like the birds which taste them. There
were tears in those eyes, at this time, though,
and the dimpled mouth was quivering.
1t was man of some five and thirty
who listened to this plea man who had
been of noble looks and princefy- bearing.
Ay, had been i! for the blighting truth was
written over form and face. His locks
were matted, his forehead soowling, bis
eyes-rea, but not with tears, there were
burrows on his cheeks, too, and british
look to the expression of his lips Bwicc
did the little boy address him ere he an-
swered. Then pushing the child rudely
from him, he said, in a stern voice, " No,
no, It's no place for you
Again those fair small hands encircled
the knees.
You 60, papa. Why can't too
Do let me 60"
For a moment the heart of the inebriate
seemed to wake from its sleep. He shud.
dcred as he thought of the character Of the
place his puresouled boy would enter. He
took the child tenderly in bis arms, and
kissed him as of old; then putting him down
he said kindly:

you there. 1t is no place for little boys,

1t was trying question for the poor
