PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL

1t is the vital principle of the Pine Tree. OBJ
tanned by peculiar process in the distilation of
the tar, by which its highest medical properties
are retained.
II is the only safeguard and reliable remedy
which has ever been prepared from the juice of
the Pine Tree.
1t inyigorates the digestive organs and re-
stores the appetite.
1t strengthens the deblitated system.
1t purifes and enriches the blood and expels
from the system the corruption which scrofula
breeds on the lungs
1t dssolyes the mucus or phiegm which stops
the air passages of the lungs.
Its healing principle acts upon the irritated
surface of the lungs and throat penetrating to
each diseased part, relieving pain and subd1ing
Inflammation.
1t is the result of years of study and expert
ment and it is offered to the afflicted with the
positive assurance of its power to cure the fol-
lowing diseases, If the patient has not too long
delayed a resort to the means of cure;-
Consumption Of tile Lungs, Cough, Sore Throat
and Breast, BIOaclitiS, Li0er Complaint,
Bind and Bleeding Piles, asthma,

OUR NATIONAL DISEASE

What is it, and what will cure IL? 1t Is fact
that will not be controverted that Dyspepsia is
national disease to be found from the Presi-
dental mansion to the humble cottage along the
marshes of the Atlantic. Symptoms-There are
scarcely two cases of Dyspepsia alike The
symptoms vary. In one case they may be cold
hands and feet, oppressive soreness and pain in
the pit of the stomach, drowsiness after meals.
In another, costiveness, heartburn ESQ cGlled),
tormenting feelings, both mental and physical.
In third, nervousness, the spirits depressed,
foreboding of evil, the mind so depressed that In
some cases there is extreme melancholy, and the
sufferer is led to commit suicide. In another,
harassing belchings, saliva or o watery sub
stance profusey running from the mouth, throat
iTitated with dry cough, skin dry, then cold,
the stools clay colored, restlessness at night,
sleep easily disturbed, frightful dreams, at one
time bowels constipated, then diarrhGa or dysen-
terry, caused by foul matter in the stomach, caus-
ing apOplexy and other diseases beyond the
power of human skill to control What will cure
1t? By indigestion the food lies in the stomach
and is decomposed by heat etc. into a mucus;
this mucus adheres to the walls of the stomach
until false membrane is formed, which para
lyzes the functions of the digestive organs. To
perform cure this false membrane must be de-
tached, and the stomach healed and brought
back to natural tone; without effecting this it is
impossible to effect a cure, and in this mode OF
treatmcntlies DR.. L. Q. G. WISHART'Sw wonderful
cures of the Dyspepsia. The Dyspepsia Pills
remove the false lining and the Pine Tree Tar
Cordial heals, making a perfect cure of this
dreadful disease.

THE VIRTUES OF TAR.

A very ingenious "sell" upon the Royal So.
ciety of Great Britain was perpetrated by Sir
Charles Hanbury Williams, wicked wag of the
age, during the furore caused by the discovery
of the wonderful healing powers of TAR
WATER Sir Charles sent communication to
the President relating the circumstances of a
sailors breaking his leg on board of the guard
ship at Chatham, and its perfect union and cure
by an application of spun oakum soaked in tar.
After the communication had been read and
printed in the Royal Transactions, he sent second
letter, stating that he had forgotten to state in
the former correspondence that the leg was a
1cooden one! Although this joke was a sore one
for the society, it did not injure the reputation
of Tar rs a remedy, for its legitimate cures were
so wonderful that odes were written in its praise
and the celebrated Bishop Berllely published two
voluminous works describing, endorsing, and
registering its virtues. From the failure of
scientific men, at that period, to extract and
concentrate the curative principle from the
crude tar, its nauseousness caused it to fall into
disuse, and its great healing powers were lost to
mankind until DR.. l.. Q. c. Wishart succeeded
in depriying the specific of its unpleasant and
cruder particles, and in his PINE TREE TAR
CORDIAL offering to the afflicted all that was
valuable while the other parts were eliminated
by its careful preparation. AS soon as this was
accomplished the remedy was again endorsed bv
the faculty, and the cures were such as to con-
vert its enemies and firmly establish it as one of
the greatest blessings to suffering humanity. Its
success was immediate and widespread and its
manufacture became of great Importance and a
source of wealth to its reyiver. A long life was
! spent for the welfare ofmanknd by Dr. WishGrt
in periecting his discovery and promugating Its
usefulness, and at his decease (Which took place
but recently the method of preparation an
the extension of its usefulness devolved upon his
| SONS
1t cures colds and coughs with marvellous
celerity, and Is the only preparation which an
proaches to specific. 1t does not cover and
| patch up, but eradicates disease by removing
the cause, and for obstinate long-continued
| cataThS, and consequently of the incipiept
stages Of consumption, is the only certain remedy
in the pharmacopeia. 1t would be a waste of
! the readers time to enumerate cases. for the
remedy is so well known, it's virtues have been
so thoroughly tested, that eulogy is superfuous
and reference not requisite. Not only as an in
! ternal remedy is it valuable, but eIternaIly II
