medical preparations which have become very pop.
ular, und have been literally used. Among lis in
ventions are 'Halps Balsam for the Lungs" and
"Liverwort and Tar" Fol the past six years bet
ter Lung remedy has been offered to the public.
Read the following letter from DR.. Scovil referr-
ing to it:
Messrs. j. N. HARRIS s. co.
GENTS-I make the following statement
from perfect conviction and knowledge of the ben
efts of Aliens Lung Balsam in curing the
most deep-seated PULMONARY CONSUMPTION
have witnessed its effects the young and on the
old, ald and truly say that it is by far the best ex
pectorant remedy with which am acquainted. For
Coughs and all the early stages OF Lung complaints
believe it to be certain cure, and if every family
would keep it by them, ready to administer upon
the first appearance of disease about the Lungs,
there would be very few of fatal consumption.
1t causes the phlegm and matter to raise without r
ritating those delicate organs 1.-THE Lungs and with
out producing nstipation OF the Bowels. 1t also
gives strength to the SYSTEM stops the nigbtsweats
