 Messrs J. N. HARRIS CO.,,
 .. GENTS: make the following statement from perfect conviction and know ledge of tn benefits of A lens Lung Balsam in curing the most deep seated Pull monary Cons umption! I have witnessed its effects on the young and on the old, and l truly say that it is by far the b-st expecto rant lemely with which l am acquainted. For coughs. and all the early stages of Lung Con- plaints, believe it to be- certain cure. and if every family would keep it by them ready to admi mister upon the first appearance cf dis ease about the Lungs. there would be very few cases of fatal consumption. It causes the phlegm and mat ter to raise, without ritat- ing those delicate organs (the lungs), and without producing constipation of the bowels. It. also gives strength to the system, stops the night sweats, and changes Ill the morbid se- cretions to heclthy state.
