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 It's efficacy has been invariably mani
tested, convincing the most incredulous that
even CoNsuMpToS is not incurable, If prop
erly attended to- As consumption at It's
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 fever. and the pulse more fire.
qucnt. the cheeks arc flushed and chills are
more common. in It's next stage the ex-
ternal parts of the lung, themselves begin
/ to participate the fever, the strength fails

mon as debility and emaciatou increases,

pear. the bowels become irregular. the sleep

coughing, profuse cold sweats, and constant
| diarrhea, 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 eSpel them from the
system, by perspiranon and otherwise 1t
/ facilitates expectoration and thus relieves
/ the patient from a load Of tough phlegm
which cannot otherwise be wholly removed
from the system. Ii 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 opiatc aud
astringent 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
thehectic before the cough is entirely gone !;
consequently, when the cough is cured the
patient is we'll. ltmay be relied on as per-
lectly 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
