'BE WISE To DAY.'-The variable ness of our climats, and the general neglect ofsuch precautions as the sud- den changes of temperature demand, render consumption the most prevalent of all diseases ill this country. Neither cholera, yellow fever, small pox, nor any other epidemic which pays its fear ful visits irregularly or periodically, carries off such number of victims as consumption. This terrible destroyer never comes unannounced. Like the Crotalas, it springs rattle to warn us of it's approach. That rattle is dry cough. There are other complaints, too, which precede--as the pilot fish pre- cedes the sllark--this unsuitable malady Cold, catarrh, influenza, and divers other irritations of the pulmonary or gans, are too often the hcralds of pneu- Monia. There arc also affections of the respiratory organs which feed the lungs with air, as deadly as the tuber- cles that consume the substance of the lungs themselves. We refer to bron- chitis, traciitis, asthma, etc. The Hungarian Balsam of Life has proved itself to be the only reliable remedy for these symptoms. Try it it, yc suf- ferers, and find relief.
