DR.. HALL's BALsAM strikes at the root Of the
disease at once, and such is its speedy effect
:hat any one using it freely according 10 di-
~rections for twcnty-fo four or forty-eight hours,
and not entirely satisfied with its merits,
may return it and receive back their money.
The most distressing cough is frequently re-
lieved by a single dose, and broken up in a
few hours time. The afflicted do not have
to take bottle after bottle before they lind
whether this remedy will afford relief or not.
Tho public have boon imposed upon BY
remedies recommended by certificates which
hayo always originated from some unknown
source. We believe that a medicine possess
ing real merits will effect cures wherever 1t
is used, at home as we'll ns abroad. This is
no paregoric preparation, but one which il
used in season will save the lives Of thou
sands.
It has effected cures in numerous cases,
where the most skillfh physicians in this
country and in Europe have been employed,
and have exercised their skill in vain. Cases
which they have pronounced incurable, and
surrendered as hopeless beyond q doubt,
leaving the patients without q single ray 10
enliven 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 us. And these
cases are not isolated ones they are numer-
GUS, and can be pointed out in every COM
nuuity where this most unrivaled remedy
has been tested.
Be slow, then, to believe the o~ft-repeatod
story about the lungs being gone or rather
let no such apprehension induce you 10 give
up. Act upon the principle that while there
b life there Is nope. You can never be so low
that you may not trust, humanly speaking,
in Halls Balsnm. More than one, nay, hum
dreds has it brought almost from death to
life, when all else kad failed. Give, then,
this powerful but harmless remedy a trial.
Call on the agent and got 4 pamphlet gratis.
