LOSS OF SLEEP.

The great central active principle OF the IolL
Apodvne is a true development Of the original
natural opiate. In all cases wherever opium has
been used and its bRneiul effects witnessed, no
remark of ours can adequately compare the
difference, ami no decision is equal to q trial.
The Anodyne contains not particle Of opium,
and the most delicate constitution can usa II
with safety; and the perfectly natural state i
keeps and leaves the patient, should recommend
il to physicians who have long sought the true
development, and TO patients who want natural
results.
The basis Of the Universal Cough Remedy is
that freedom from all components which by the
great error in compromising, produce complete
merits instead Of real cures We place norestraint
on its use every hour in the day and ask all
patients TO make it the natural enemy to all
coughs, throat or lung complaints, by perfect
freedom Of application. For ntlammatory sore
throat it is perfect remedy, and for whooping
cough checks all spasms, and allows tina cough 10
