VIE, ZOO. HAVE TESTED IT,
TO the Public :

In view Of the harmful results which
so frequently attend the use Of so-called
patent or proprietary cough syrups con
tanning morphia, opium and other equal
ly dangerous drugs, the undersigned,
physicians of Maryland, take pleasure in
endorsing the official opinions expressed
by the Commissioner of Health of Bali-
more; DR.. Samuel K. Cox, analytical
chemist, Of Washington, and other au-
therities to the effect that the RED STAR
COUGH CURE is not only a perfectly harm
less, but at the same time an original and
most effective remedy, and that it com
mends itself alike for being entirely veg
etable-free from Opiates, poisons and
narcotics-and for its prompt efficacy, as
demonstrated by practical tests.

Professor John NJ. Klein, Krntuckv.s

the path or orbit Of n great comet, and

it. The DETECTION by the latter part Of
July or August will. however, bring it

A REMARKABLE CURE!
IN WHICH
PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS DECIDED
TO USE THE KNIFE.

Ny wife and daughter suffered for years with
an affection of the throat, which WINS gradually
but surely undermining their health, and was a
source Of anxiety to all OF US. Two Of the best
physicians of the city and also q surgeon were
called In, and after a careful examination they
decided that there was no chance OF q cure un-
less they would consent to undergo q surgical
operation. We were much opposed to the knife
being used, until all other means had been e1-
hausted. SO, we began to use different throat
remedies sold at drug stores. We finally got to
Brewers Lung .Rsstoror, and the effects were
trnly wonderful; and after a few bottles had
been taken they were entirely relieved Of the
trouble and their health fully restored. II any
OF my family should ever be similarly affected,
:! would, II necessary, travel around the world
In order to get this remedy. Very respectfully,
