FACTS ron THE PEOPLE.

Ii is well established fact that no preparation
has ever been placed before the public, that as a
remedial agent for the safe and speedy cure OF
Coughs, Colds, Cronp Influenza, Hoarseness,
Tickling in the Throat, Soreness al the Chest
and Lungs and the relief of Consunptive Cough,
is equal TO Goes Cough BdlsdH. Although not
known in the Western States until the fall OF
1868, over 300 900 bottles oft we're sold and used
by the people; its immense popularity being the
result OF its undoubted merit. The propretors,
Messrs. C. q. CLARK 4 Co., OF New Haven, o.,
who are among tho most reliable OF the Eastern
Drug Houses, have offered to any man who
would produce an article that would cure any
Lung and Throat affections as quick as Coos
Cough Balsam, a reward of 500, and are with
out any takcr, although the offer has been made
public over two years. The bottle compares fa-
vorably in size with any of the % cent propara-
tons And rs strength is second to none, max
ing il not only the best, but the cheapest reme-
DIV in the world. We have the united testimony
OF such houses as Lord & Smith; Fuller, Finch
