"a RETIRED PHYSICIAN whose sand. of
4 life have nearly run out, discovered while i'm the
East Indies, a certain cure for ConsuInptlon
4 ASTHMA, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds, and Gene "a
4 Debility. The remedy was discovered by MN
II when his only child, daughter, WAS given up TO
4 die. He had heard much of the wonderful restor
ative and healing qualities Of preparations made
from the East India Hemp, and the thought occurred
10 him that he might make a remedy for his child
He studied hard and succeeded realizing his lsh
es. His child was cured and Is now alive and well.
He has since administered the wonderful remedy to
ousands of sufferers IN all parts of the world, and
he has failed Ia making them completely heal
thy and happy. Wishing to do as much good as pos
sible he viii send Ia such of his afflicted fellow be-
ngs request it. this recipe. with fui! and explicit
directions for making II up and successfully using
it. lie requires each applicant TO enclose HIM one
shIng-three cents TO be returned as postage on the
recipe, and the remainder to be applied to the pay
ment of this advertisement. Address

Jamess sole object is to benefit the world, and not
to make money. He has no Et MS who prepare his

But to some hearts there comes so sore a grief,
