timely use Of some proper remedy.
Dr., HALL's BALsAM strikes ct the root Of the
disease ct once, and such is its speedy effect
that any one using it freely according to d-
~rOctions for twenty-four or forty-eight hours,
and net entirely satisfied with its merits,
NAV return it and receive back their money.
The most distressing cough 10 frequently 70
loved by q single dose, and broken up in 0
few hours time. The afflicted do not hsVo
te take bottle after bottle before they End
whether this remedy will afford relief or not.
The public have been imposed upon By
remedies recommended BY certificates which
have always originated from some unknswA
source. We believe that a medicine possess
ing real merits will effect cures wherever II
IL used, at home as well az abroad. This 10
no paregorie preparation, but one which II
used in season will save the lives Of tAou-
sands.
It has efsstsd cures In numerous eases,
where the most skillful physicians in this
country and in Europe have been employed,
and have exercised their skill in vain. Cases
which they have pronounced incurabls, and
surrendered as hopeless beyond a doubt,
leaving the patients without a single ray 70
onliven them in their gloom, have been cured
By DR.. Halls Balsam, and the victims OF
consumption" are now vigorous and strong
as the most robust among U.s. Anu tneS~
eases are not isolated ones they are numsr-
Gus, and can be pointed out in every com
munity where this most unrivalsd remedy
has been tested.
Be slow, then, to believe the oh-repeated
story about the lungs being gone or rather
let no such apprehension induce you to give
up. Act upon the principle that while there
b life there is hope. You can never be so low
shat ysu may not trust, humanity speaking,
In Halls Balsam. More than one, nay, hum
dreds has it brought almost from death to
life, when all else had failed. Give, then,
this powerful but harmless remedy . trial.
