for Colds, Coughs, Hoarseness, clearing
the throat, difficult Expectoration, in ca
ses ofPhthysic; WhooooGGi.1lg Cough, Chronic
Asthma and Bronchitis, 1t may also be
used as palliative in severe cases ofthese

some Of the best remedies, in convenient
and pleasant vehicle, in which they can be
exhibited to adults and children, who have
an aversion to taking medicines alone.--
Tb inventor relies on the intelligence OF
an enlightened public to test the virtues OF
his candy, by a fair trial. He does not
pretend that it will necessarily and infal.
libly cure all the affections in which he
would recommend its use but he believes
it will be found pleasant, safe and useful
remedy, in those affections, when they are
not sufficiently acute to require medical at
tendance and there are hundreds of such
cases in all communities. .. .'
