VEGETABLE BALSAMIO ELlAlR,
FOR
Coughs Colds, Consumption, WhOOping COugh,
Group Asthma, and all diseases Of 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 chesD
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 it's 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.
qucnt the cheeks arc flushed, aud chills are
more common In its next stage the cx-
ternal parts Of the lungs themselves begin
to participate the fever, the strength fails,
the flesh wastes, and perspiraton is COM
mon as debility and emaciation increases,
small alterations or white hard spocks APP
pear, the bowels become irregular, the sleep
is disturbed in the last stages, violent
coughing, profuse cold sweats. and constant
diarrhUa, 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 cxpel them from the
system, by perspiraton and otherwise 1t
facilitates expcctoration, 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
q nature as to be in great danger of des-
troying the patient, with which they are
so highly tinctured whereas this medicine
never dries OF stops the cough but by 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-
lectly safe in all cases Of cough and irrita-
for coughs in every fever from commence
ment to end. 1t viii cure a slight hoarse-
ness and cough when occasioned 10y a cold,
in a few hours, and generally, when severe
and obstinate, in a 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
few hours
The proprietors of this Elixir can pub
lish hundreds Of testimonials in favor Of
this medicine which are in their possession,
but are willing it should stand upon its own
merits
This standard, honest old medicine, that
in nearly fifty years has been called by the
people the "Old Vermont Cough Remedy"
and sometimes the "Groat Northern Rem
edy," is still the most popular Cough Med
icine before the people.
