DIR. PoLAND:-I fee it my duty to inform you of

cough was very distressing, reducing my flesh and
strength, and rendering me unfit for labor l tried
medicines of various kinds, but none of them, how
ever valuable, gave me any reilef. In March, 1862,

highly approved medicine, DR.. j. ~. Poland, the

The editor Of The Manchester Daily and Weekly
Mirror, in leader of the Daily, thus speaks of the
Compound: s}83b ~
"The White Pine Compound is advertised at much
length in our columns, and we are happy to learn
that the demand for it is increasing beyond all prev
GUS expectations. 1t is the very best medicine for
coughs and colds we know Of and no family that has
once used win ever be without it. We speak from
our own knowledge it is to kill cold, and cas-
ant as sure. The greatest inventions come by acci-
deut, and it is, singular that the Viii Pine Com
pound, made for Colds and Coughs, should prove to
be the greatest remedy for kidney difficulties known
But so It is. We cannot doubt it, SO many testimo
malls come te us from well known men Besides, the
of DR.. Pc and is such that we know he will
not countenance what is wrong. For years Bap-
list clergyman, studying medicine to find remedies
for hi ailments, with delicate cOmsumptive look,
standing with foot upon the grave, he made the
which has saved him elf and cal ed out
from hunareds of others the strongest testimonials
possib Q. We have know DIR. Poland for years, and l.
never knew a more conscientious, honest upright
man, and we glad to state that be ieve what
ever he says about his W hte Pine Compound.
