ITThe attention of those afflicted with colds,
coughs, and with any disease Of the lungs, is di-
rected TO this valuable remedy. The season Of
the year has already come when, on account of

der such circumstances is a reliable remedy

TFTo arrest the existing irritation of the air
passages and the lungs, speedily and etfectualy,
the seat and cause Of cough is an important step
gained toward relief and cure in the first stages

valuable preparation a speedy and decided re-
lief Even those whose condition is beyond re-
coyery, will derive from its use great benefit as
well as comfort. For the class Of diseases it is de-
