Valuable and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Bron.
chial Troches are widely known as an admirable
remedy for Bronchitis. Hoarseness, Coughs, and
other troubles of the throat and lungs. They
are of great value for the purposes for which they
are designed, and it should be known that while
they are usually and pleasantly eficacious, they
contain no hurtful ingredients, but may at all
times be used with perfect safety. We speak
from personal experience when we commend
! them to persons afflicted with irritated throats
as thousands are. particularly at this season o
the year.-BOStOn Recorder.
