FOR THE RAPID CURE OF
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
Group, Bronchitis, Incipicnt Consump-
tiOn, and for the relief of Consumptive
Patients in advanced stages Of the
disease.
So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu-
merous are the cases Of its cures, that almost
every section OF country abounds in persons pub
hcly 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 apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues known the
public no longer hesitate what antdote TO employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections Of the
pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial. conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro-
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten.
