Consumption or Cough.
PLEASE
READ THE FOLLOWING LETTER
FROM A RELIABLE DRUGGIST:

MOUNT VERNON, Ill, April %, 1ST1.-Messrs.
j. n. Harris & Co, Cincinnati, OhiO.-Gentle-
men: heard one of my customers speak in such
high terms OF Aliens Lung Balsam to-day, that
| thought would write you the substance OF his
tatements. He saws his mother, who is now
ssixty years Of age, has SUFFERED with CONSUME
TON for SEVERAL YEARS, and has been under
the care OF al our best phgsictdnS; but never re-
ceved anv permanent benefit; then she resorted
to every kind Of Cough and Lung Balsam that
could be procured for her, bH al to no GUGit. She
still grew worse, until she was confined TO her
bed; and when she was seized with par Ixysm
of coughing, she would lose the pOl5sr Of TeSpira
tioB, and they were compelled 20 resort TO var
iOus means to restore breathingj and while she
cOughed so hard she c0nld not eXpOrate anything,
and the family and friends had given up all hopes
of her recovery. Her son noticed the advertise
ment of Aliens Lung Balsam in the ChTiSttdH
Advocate, and they thought they would procure
and try 1t. They commenced giving her the Bal
sam at 5 O'Clock Pm. as directed, dose every
hour until midnight; then she took another spell
of coughing, and eXpectOrated mOuthful Of
dark, yellow matter, which was something she
had not been able to do for some time. They con-
tinued to give her the Balsam until morning, and
then she began to expectOrate freely, and within
two hours she had ExPBCTORATED TWO PINTs Of
mucous matter, which gave her immediate re-
lief; and since that time she has continued to
improve. She now sits up all day, and can walk
about the house and take considerable outdoor
exercise. Her son bought more Of the Balsam
to-day, and he is recommending it very highly to
every one. Yours respectfully,
A. G. JOHNSON, Druggist.
