says of ALIENS LUNG BALSAM:
A REMARKABLE C0RE.-Mr. Samuel Lewis, one
the old Pioneers OF Cincinnati, was very long, an
Iarently, in the last stages of Consumption, and
given up by physicians, when some kind friend re-
commended him to use ALIENS LUNG BALSAM.
He did SO, and Immediately comm enced recovering.
and is now able to attend to business He says: SIN
truth, may say it has saved my life. Mr. Lewis is
well known in Cincinnati, and the fullest confidence
m ay be placed in his statements 1t is DUE therefore,
10 the community, especially those suffering under
this terrible malady, that the fullest publicity be
given to such marvellous cures that other sufferers
may avail themselves of the remedy With pleasure.
therefore, we refer to this cure.
From our knowledge Of the merits of tlis excel
lent balsam, and what We hear of i S merits, we
think it should be at used by all persons suffer-
ing from cough, or any pulmonary complaint. We
hear that many far advanced in consumption have
been cured by its use. dc1i-4w
