So wide Is the Geld Of Its usefulness and no nn-
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 It's
use. When once tried, its superiority over every
other medicine Of It's kind Is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, thu
public no longer hesitate what antidote TO employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections OF the
pulmonary organs that are incident 10 otr climate
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have iailed and bean discarded. this
has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro-
