Coughs, Colds Consumption, WhOOping COugh
Group Asthma, and all diseases Of the
Chest and Lungs.
This valuable medicine is purely vepo.
table the discovery of which has been tho
result Of many years close study (whlo
suffering under those formidable diseases
which prey upon the organs of the chesD
in order to discover the causes, the Sym
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 increduous that
even CONSUMPTION is not incurable, if prom
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 fever, and the pulse more fire..
quent, the checks arc flushed, and chills are
more common. In its next stage the ex.
tcrnal parts of the lungs themselves begin
to participate the fever, the strength fails.
the flesh wastes, and perspiration is com
mon as debility and emaciation increases,
small alterations or white hard specks ap
pear, the bowels become irregular the sleep
is disturbed in the last stages, violent
coughing, profuse cold sweats, and constant
diarrhGa, 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 eXpel them from the
system, by perspiration and otherwise. 1t
facilitates eXpectOration, and thus relieves
the patient from load of tough phlepm
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
astringent articles, which are Of so drying
a nature as to bo in great danger Of des-
troying the patient, with which they are
so highly tincturcd whereas this medicine
j 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 we'll. 1t may be relied on as per
fectly safe in all cases of cough aud irrita-
tion 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 10y cold.
in few hours, and generally, when severe
5 and obstinate, IN few days. 1t almost in
variably cures children Of Group, hnd has in
t many instances, when eminent physicians
considered them past hope, cured them in
few hours
