wished to give another an orange In

ton, and for the relief of Consumptive
Patients in advanced stages of the
disease.
So wide is the field Of It's usefulness and so nu-
merous are the cases Of its cures, that almost
every section Of country ahounds in persons pub
licly 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 eseapc
observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what anudote to employ
Tor the distressing and dangerous affections Of the
pulmonary organs that 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-
auced cures too numerous and too remarkable TO
be forgotten.

The odd Dominion Tea Pot

One Hattie usual quantity Of Tea required,
and superior Beusrage obtained.
The "Old Dominion Tea Pot is made on the
same plan as the Old Dominion" Coffee Pot, and
Is designed for boiling black tea. Only one half
the usual quantity oftea required, and beveer
age obtained as much suderior to the ordinary
infusion Of tea, as the coffee made in the '.Old
Dominion" Coffee Pot is superior to coffee made
in the common boiler. This is not mere assertion
self
The Chinese, who,it is presumed known some-
thing about tea, boil it, instead of making as the
English and Americans do, weak infusion. In
the latter case at least half of the strength ofths
tea is lost. For sale nj
