The WHITE PINE COMPOUND

at was carly In the spring of '52 that this COM
pound was originated A member ofmy family
was afflicted with an irritation of the throat at
tended with disagreeable cough. had for
some months previous thought that prepara-
tion having for its basis the inside bark ofwhite
pine might be so compounded as to be very use
ful in diseases ofthe throat and lungs. To test
the value Of II in the case alluded to, Icom-
pounded small quantity of the medicine that
had been planning, and gave 1t in teaspoonful
doses. The resultwas exceedingly gratifying.
Within two days the irritation n of the throat was
removed, the cough subsidized and speedycure
was effected. Soon after this sent some to q
lady in Londonderry, N, H., who had been suf-
fering for some weeksfrom bad cough, oeca-
stoned by asudden cold, and had raised mucus
streaked With blood. J. B. Clarke. Esq, editor
ofthe Manchester Daily Mirror made q trial Of
the same preparation in the case Of severe
cold and was cured Immediately. He was so
highly pleased with the results, and so confident
IN success attending its sales, II placed before
the public, that he finally persuaded me to give
u name, and send It abroad to benefit the suf-
fering. In November, 1855, frat advertised it
under the name Of White Pine Compound. In
two years from that timo there had been whole-
sailed in Manchester alone one hundred dollars
worth, where il took the lead of all cough rem
edies in the market, and il still maintains that
position. There is good reason for this; 1t Is
very soothing and healing lnits nature, is warm
ing to the stomach and pleasant withal to the
taste, and is exceedingly cheap.
"As aremedy for kidney complaints the White
Pine Compound stands unnvaled. It was not
originated for that purpose; but person in
using it for cough was not only cured OF the
cough, but was also cured of kidney difficulty
OF ten years standing. Since that accidental dis
coyery many thousands have used it for tho
same complaint, and have been completely
cured" u9
The above was written by DR.. Poland, in 1860.
Since then. as in Manchester, the White Pine
Compound has takenthe lead ofall Cough rem
edies, ae well as preparation for the cure of
Kidney difficulties, lin every city, town, village
and hamlet throughout the New England States.

Of the Compound: "The White Pine Compound
