Patients in advanced stages Of the dis

So wide is tho field of its usefulness, and 80
numerous are the cases of its cures, that almost
every section of 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 superb
ority over every other medicine of its kind is too
apparent to escape observation, and where it's
virtues arc known, the public no longer hesitate
what antido.e to employ for the distressing and
dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs
that are incident 10 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 produced
cures too numerous and too remarkable to bs
forgotten.

Among the rest we have heard of poor
cobbler who made league with him and
after enjoying every earthly blessing, he was
waited upon ut the end Of the term by his
birthstone majesty. who demanded his soul.
The cobbler took sharp knife. and rip
ping of the sole Of his shoe, threw it at the
feet Of his illustrious guest.
What does this mean" cried the latter.
Look at the contract" was the reply Of tke
cohbler.
Satan examined the contract, and found
that the word was spelt sole, which only en-
titled him to the piece ofleather. lie turned
on his heel, and went of scratching his head;
and he has been called "Old Scratch ever
