FOR
Coughs Colds, Consumption, WbOOping Cough,
Croup Asthma and all diseases Of the
Chest and Lungs.

Chest and 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 chesD
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 ncredulous that
even CONSUMPTION is not incurable, II 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 fever and the pulse more fire. /
quent, the checks are flushed, aud chils are
more common. In its next stage the OK
ternal parts of the lungs themselves begin
to participate the fever, the strength fails,
the flesh wastes, and perspiration is com
mon as debility and emacatiOn increases,
small alterations or white hard specks APP
pear, the bowels become irregular, the sleep
is disturbed in the last stages, violent
coughing, profuse cold sweats, and constant
diarrhWa, 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, 10y perspiration 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. 1t heals the ulcerated
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 be in great danger Of des-
troyiug the patient, with which they are
SO highly tincmred 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-
iectly safe in all cases of cough and irrta-
ton of the lungs the very best medicine
for coughs in every fever from commence
ment TO end. 1t will cure a slight hoafse-
ness and cough when occasoned by cold,
in a few hours, and generally, when severe
aud Obstinate in few lays 1t almost in
yariably cures children of Group, and has in
many instances, when eminent physicians
considered them past hope, cured them in
a few hours.
The proprictors 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 sold Vermont Cough Remedy, -
and sometimes tho "Great Northern Rem
edy," is still the most popular Cough Med
icinc before the people.
