The most Important Discovery since
 Vaccination.
 DR. HAXsoN's VEGETABLE CHEMICAL PowDEns will break up colds at once, without sweating, dieting interruption of business, or the of hot stimulating and burning compounds, herb teas. candies, balsans or any other disagrceable, incon- venient and nauseating doses they do not cause the least unpleasant symptoms-cven if taken in large doses. they create only thirst, which be- ing allayed with water, an agreeable warmth and moisture at the surface is soon experienced. When taken as directed, they break up the cold and ar. rest its effects, and the only operation perceived is & mysterious and unfavorable disappearance oi all symptoms, as f.vershness, chills, lameness, darting palms, dull heavy palms, tlghtness of the chest, hoarseness. cough, sore throat, croup, ca tsrrh, headache, &c.
 The Vegetable Chemical Popders are to colds what Vaccination is against Small Pox and Quinine fu1 Ague. They are specific remedy tor the preveu- tion and cure of a specific disease. And by break ing colds with them the system is not weakened and deranged and rendered more subject to re- peated attacks. but is rather strengthened and fortified against them. They arrest croup instant ly and permanently. and by their timely use, coughs, catarrh, bronchitis, levers, rheumatism sore threats, consumption. and all diseases prima rily excited by colds can be banished from among the people.
