Of the medicine thai had been planning,
and gave II in teaspOonful doses- The result
was exceedingly gratifying. Within two
days the Irritation OF the throat was remoy-

a lady IN Londonderry, N. h, who had been

ten ounces OF II, and got well. ]. y. Clarke
made trial Of the same preparation in the
case OF a severe cold and was cured immedi-
ately. He was 40 highly pleased with the re-
suts, and so confident In success attending its
sales, If placed before the public, that he
finally persuaded me to give IL name, and
send It abroad 10 benent the suffering. In
November, 1855, / INST advertised Il under

that accidental discovery many thousands
