VEGETABLE BALSAMIC ELIXIR,
ron



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
where 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
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 checks are 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,

is disturbed in the last stages, violent
coughing, profuse cold sweats, and constant
diarrhna. with hic-coughs, close the scene.
This Elixir, in curing the above complaints,
operates so as to remove all morbid irrta-
ton and inflammation from the lungs to the
surface, and finally expel them FROM the
system, 10y perspiratiOn and otherwise. II
facilitates expectoration, and thus relieves
the patient from 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. Ii
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
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 by re-
moving the CAUSE, and generally destroys
the hectic before the cough is entirely gone

patient is we'll 1t may be relied on as per
lectly safe 10 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 occasoned by a cold
in few hours, and generally, when severe
aud obstinate, in few days. 1t almost in
variably cures children of Group, and has il
many instances. when eminent physicians
