Cough. Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine has ANYTHING won so widely and so deeply
upon the confidence Of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series of wears, and among most Of the races Of
uen it has risen higher and higher in their estima
fion as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made It known as re-
liable protector against them. While adapted TO
nder forms of disease and to young children, it is
~ the same time the most eectual remedy that can

be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject 10 colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antdOte for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought IN
cIIrable, still great numbers OF cases where the dis
case seemed settled, have been completely cured
and the patient restored to sound health by the
CheT.rB PectOrGI. So complete IS its mastery
over the disorders Of the Lungs and Throat that

cured by it.
Bronchitis Is generally cured by taking the

So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates Of them here, or do more
hs1 assure the public that its qualities are fully
maintained.

Some time ago there was trial for
tresspass in cutting wood from neigh
bor's premises without authority. One
of the plaintiffs witnesses was plain
old farmer, whose testimony went clearly
and directly to prove the charge. The
defendants counsel, clustering man of
brass, thought to weaken the force of his
evidence by proving idioicy to be trait
of his family. He therefore interroga-
god him thus:
"Mr. Hodge, you have a son who is an
idiot, have you not ?"
ayes, sir"
'Docs he know anything ?"
.'Vcry little"
"iIow much does he know 2"
''Wcll almost nothing. Not much
more than you do"
The witness was allowed to retire with
out further questions, amid the most up
roarious screams of laughter.
