VEGETABLE BALSAMIO ELIXIR,
FOR
Coughs Colds, Consumption, WhOOping Cough,
Group Asthma, and all diseases VI the
Chest and Lungs

This valuable medicine is purely vege,
table the discovery of which has been the
result Of many years close study (while
suffering under those formidable diseases
which prey upon the organs Of the 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
whore this Elixir has been duly admins
tered its efficacy has been invariably mani
tested. convincing the most incredulous that
even CONSUMPTION is not incurable, if prop
erlv attended TO- As consumption at its
commencement is but a slight irritation on
the membrane which covers the lungs, then
an inflammation. when the cough is a little
more observable, but rather dry, then be-
comes local fever, and the pulse more fire.
Iouent. the cheeks arc flushed, and chills are
l 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, aud perspirati0n is com
! mon: as debility and emacation increases,
small decorations 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
diarrhGa, 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 perspration and otherwise. 1t
facilitates expectoraton, 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
astrngent articles, which are of so drying
a nature as to be in great danger of des-
troying the patient, with which they are
SO highly tinctured whereas this medicine
never dries or stops the cough but 10y re-
moving the CAUSE, and generally destroys
the hectic before the cough is entirely gone ;
consequently. when the cough is cured the
patient is well. 1t may be relied on as per-
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 slight hoarse-
ness and cough when occasioned by cold,
in a few hours, and generally, when severe
and obstinate, in few days. 1t almost in
! variably cures children of Group, and has in
many instances. when eminent physicians
considered them past hope, cured them. in
a few hours
