Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has any thing won SO widely and so
deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints
Through long series of years, and among most
of the races of men it has risen higher and higher
in their estimation, as it has become better known
Its uniform character and power to cure the va.
rious affections of the lungs and throat, have
made it known as q reliable protector against
them. While adapted to ihilder forms of disease
and to young children, it is at the same time the
most efectual remedy that can be given for incip.
lent consumption, and the dangerous affections
of the throat and lungs. As provision against
sudden attacks of Group, it should be kept on
hand in every family, and indeed as all are some
times subject to colds and coughs, all should be
provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in.
durable, still great numbers of cases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to sound health
mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and
. When nothing else could reach them, under the
Singers and Public Speakers find great
protection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly

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 than assure the public that its qualities
are fully maintained.

Now huddled, and now scattering, WITHOUT nasse,
For morning waits IKE sea-birds, each one steers.
O; all the sails that catch the sun, and smile,
There's one that takes my own mood out to sea:
It's laughing side is hidden on the lee;
Its shadow lacks to windward al the while.
Mid all the gladness, just faint reserve
WAITS me apart, but not to scowl and gloom;
The wo,ld's vice laughter keeps me IN its room, =

IT'S but the thickness of a sail between.

Too thin to keep the sailors heart aioof:
