Of the medicine that had been planning,

was exceedingly gratifying. Within two

suffering for some weeks from a bad cough,

mucus streaked with bl cd. She soon found
relief and sent for more. She took about
ten ounces Of 1t, and got well. ]. B. Clarke,

made q trial OF the same preparation in the
case OF severe cold and was cured immedI-
ately. He was SO highly pleased with the re-
suits, and SO confident in success attending its

that accidental discovery many thousands
have used 1t for the same complaint, and
have been completely cured"
The above was written by DIR. Poland. in
