both his fore legs at the knees, after which
he re loaded his sun AMI fin-hed him with

Read what the Cincinnatti Iymts says o AITEN'S TJINQ RAISAM.

Read what the Cincinnati Tinus says of ALI EMS LUNG BALSAM: ..
 A REMARKABLE CuRE.-Mr Samuel Lewis, one of the old Pioneersof Cincinnati, was very long, apparently, in the last stages Of Con- sumption. and given up by physicians, when some kind friend recommended him to use ALIENS LUNG BALSAM He did 50. and immediately commenced recov ering, and is now able to attend to business. He says: "1n truth, may say it has saved my lie MT. Lewis is we'll known in Cincinnati, and the fullest confidence may be placed in his state ments. It is due, therefore, to the cou n l. ty, especially those suffering under this terri ble malady, that the fullest publicity be giv- en to such marvellous cures, that other suffer CTS may avail themselves of the remedy. With pleasure, therefore we refer to this cure.
 From our knowledge of the merits of this excellent Balsam, and what we hear of itsImer- it's, we think it sho uld be at once used by all persons ring from cough, or any pull monary complaint. We hear that many far advanced in consumption have been cured by it's use.
