Chest and Lungs
This valuable medicine is purely vege-
table the discovery Of which has been the
result of many years close study (whiie
suffering under those formidable diseases
which prey upon the organs Of TIC chest)
in order to discover the causes, the symp
toms and the cure, viz: Consumption,
Asthma, Catarrh, Colds, and every species
of oppression of the chest. In all cases
where this Elixir has been duly admins
tered its efficacy has been invariably mani
tested. convincing the most incredulous that
even CONSUMPTION is not incurablc, if prop
erly attended to. AS consumption at its
commencement is but slight irritation on
the membrane which covers the lungs, then
an inflammation, when the cough is little
more observable but rather dry, then be-
comes local fever, and the pulse more fire.
quent, the cheeks arc flushed, and chills are
more common. In its next stage the ex-
ternal parts Of the lungs themselves begin
to participate the fever, the strength fails,
the flesh wastes, and perspiration is com
mon; as debility and emacation increases,
small alterations or white hard specks APP
pear, the bowels become irregular, the sleep
is disturbed in the last stages, violent
coughing, profuse cold sweats, and constant
diarrhma. with hic-coughs, close the scene.
, This Elixir, in curing the above complaints,
operates so as to remove all morbid irrita-
ton and inflammation from the lungs to the
surface, and finally expel them from the
system, by perspiraton and otherwise. 1t
| facilitates expectoration, and thus relieves
the patient from a load Of tough phlegm
which cannot otherwise be wholly removed
from the system. 1t heals the liberated
surfaces and relieves the cough and makes
breathing easy. 1t supports the strength
and at the same time reduces the fever 1t
has at least one peculiar advantage over
other articles in common use for the same
purposes, it is free from strong opiate and
;. astringent articles, which are of so drying
nature as to be in great danger Of des-
troying the patient, with which they are
G so highly tinctured whereas this medicine
never dries or stops the cough but by re-
moving the CAUSE, and generally destroys
2. the hectic before the cough is entirely gone
y consequently. when the cough is cured the
patient is well. 1t may be relied on as per-
y fectly safe in all cases Of cough and irrita-
ton of the lungs; the very best medicine
for coughs in every fever from commence
ment to end. 1t will cure a slight hOarse
ness and cough when occasioned by cold
in few hours, and generally, when severe
and obstinate, in a few days. 1t almost III
varably cures children of Group, and has il
many instances. when eminent physicians
considered them past hope, cured them in
IN a few hours.
