So wide is the field of its usefulness, and so
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 lis use. When once tried, its superb
orty over every other medicine of its kind is too
apparent TO escape observation and where its
virtues are known, the public no longer hesitate
what antidOtc 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 be
forgotten.
