WHITE PINE COMPOUNDf

sIt was early in the spring of 1855 that this COM
pound was originated. A member Of my family was
afflicted with an irritation Of the throat attended
previous thought that preparation having for its
basis the inside bark of white pine might be COM
pounded to be very useful in he case of the throat
and lungs To test the value of it in the alluded
to, / compounded small quantity Of the medicine
that had been planning, and gave it in teaspoonfu
doses. The result was exceedingly gratifying. With
in two days the irritation of the throat was removedy
the cough subsidized, and speedy cure was effected
Soon after this, sent to lady in Londonderry,
N. H., who had been suffering for some weeks from
bad cough, 0ccasioned by sudden cold, and mad
raised mucous streaked with blood. She soon found
relief, and sent for more She took about ten ounces
OF it and got well. j. b. Clark, ESD, editor of the
Manchester Daily Mirror, made trial OF the same
preparation in the case of severe eold, ana was
cured Immediately. lie was so highly pleased with
the results and confident of success attending its
sales if placed before the public that he finally per-
suaded Inc to give it q name and send it abroad to
benefit the suffering. In November, 1856, first adj
Yertised it under the name Of White Pine Compound
In two years from that time there had been whole
sailed in Manchester alone hundred dollars worth,
where took the lead of all the cough remedies in
the market and ilLmaintains that position There
is good for all this: it is very soothing and
healing in its nature, is warming to the stomach and
pleasant withal to the taste, and is exceedingly
cheap.
Compound stands unrivalled. 1t was not originated
for that purposes but person in using it for cough,
was not only cured Of the cough but was also cured
of kidney difficulty OF ten years standing. Since
that accidental discovery many thousands have used
it for the same complaint, and have been completely
cured"
The above was written by DR.. Poland in 1860
Since then, as IN Manchester, the White Pine Com
pound has Zen the lead of al cough remedies, as
well as preparations for the cure of kidney difficult
ties every city, town, village and hamlet, through
out the New England States
The past year has given great opportunity to test
the virtue of the White Pine Compound. 1t has
been an unusual time for Colds and Coughs, and very
large quantities of the Whi.e Pine Compound have
been sold and used with the happiest effects. It
speaks we for the Medicine, and the people where it
is prepared are high in its praise.
One bottle Of this Compound is generally sufficient
to remove bad cough, and frequently have known
persons to have cold entirely removed in two days,
by using less than half bottle. From one to two
teaspoonfuls is large dose. Isometmes put little
white sugar and hot water with it, when taken 60
ing to bed.
The limits to which purposely con6ne myself in
this circular will not allow of that full expression
which would like to give in favor Of the White Pine
Compound. tits universally admired by all who use
it-f has attained to such apopularity among those
whose opinions valuable indeed, that VANITY may
possibly in part promptme to record more here than
hurried poop will have patience to read; so l will
stop, by merely recommending 10 all who need
cough kidney remedy to test the virtue Of the
WHITE PINE COMPOUND
