"Itwas carly in the spring Of 1855 that this Con-
pound was originated. member Of my family was
aicted with an irritation Of the throat, attended
with adisagreeable cough. I had for some months
previous thought that preparation, having for it,
basis the inside bark Of white pine might be 90 com.
pounded to bevery useful in the case ofthe throat
and lungs. To test the value of It in the sase al
luded to, l compounded small quantity Of W.
medicine that had been planning, and gave II n
teaspoonful doses. The result was exceedingly
gratifying. Within two days the irritation Of the
throat was removed, the cough subsidized, and .
speedy cure was effected. Sosn after this sent
some to lady in Londonderry, N. H., who had
been suffering for some weeks from bad cough,
occasioned by sudden cold, and had raised mucus
streaked with blood. She soon found relief, and
sent for more. She took about ten ounces Of Il,
and got well. J. B. Clark, Esq. editor of the Nan.
chester Daily Mirror, made vial Of the same
preparation in the case Of q severe cold, and was
cured Immediately. He was 90 highly pleased with
the results, and so confident of success attending
its sales II placed before the public, that be finally
persuaded ne to give 1t a name and send 1t abroad
