 PoPULARITY.-A great many people, at the present day, thinx more of obtaining public ity and popularity, than of any other one thing they could possibly be possessed of But, anx ious as they may be to acquire the vain glory of the popular voice, none ever succeeded to So great an extent as has that world-renowned remedy, known as Goes Cough Bslsam. There is scarcely family iE the land but what con- sider supply of this article as necessary to the household as their -four or provisions Expe rience has taught the people that no other rem e:y has ever been put before the public that will cure coughs, colds, croup, sore throat. and in fact all throat and lung complaints as quick ly and as effectually as Goes Cough Balsan. In the Eastern States, where it has been long known and tested, it is considered as the most reliable cough remedy extant, and no one, eith- CT rich or poor, thinks of being without it. We would suggest to all our readers the necessity of keeping on hand an article of this kind for immediate use. It costs but 40 cents per bot tie. and is sold at all our drug stores, and is the cheapest and best remedy in the world. 4 I'm
