"That is it, says my friend from Ohio, who
is always honest and outspoksn, and straight

it is. He means what he says. He and can

The more striking proof of the intrinsic
worth and excellence Of DR.. HalPs Balsam for
the lungs, is shown in the rapidity with which
it becom general favorite with the people.
There is nothing of similar nature, but what
is soon cast into the shade, when the Balsar
has been thoroughly tested. The agents for
its sale the country over in ordering new.s'ip

at is Just the thing, il acts like a charm; its
effects are truly magical" The afflicted can
