Group asthma, aud all diseases VI the
Chest aud 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
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 a 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 foyer, and the pulse more fire.
quent, the cheeks are flushed, and chills are
more common. In It's next stage the ex-
ternal parts Of the lungs themselves begin
to participate the fever, the strength fails,

coughing, proiuse cold sweats and constant
diarrhpa, with hic-coughs. close the scene.
This Elixir, in curing the above complaints,
operates so as to remove all morbid irrita-
tion and inflammation from the lungs to the
surface, and finally expel them from the
system, by perspiration and otherwise. 1t
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. 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
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 !;
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 a slight hoarse-
ness and cough when Occasioned by a cold,
in few hours, and generally, when severe
and obstinate, in a few days. 1t almost in
atial ltr .ht lIr,v &c md hoo -,
many instances. when eminent physicians
considered them past hope, cured them in
a few hours.
The proprietors of this Elixir can pub
fish 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 "Great Northern Rem
edy," is still the most popular Cough Med
cine before the people.
