Consumption
Conquered !!
-
WHEN THE DOCTORS COULD
DO NO MORE.
CHAS. A. CABRERA, 80 Hawley Street,
Boston, Mass, writes:

sOne year ago / was apparently so far
gone with Consumption that my life
seemed only a question OF days ratner
than months. With my faith in the
ability of physicians to help me all gone,
with no apparent benefit. Finally, as a
last resort was induced to try DIR. II. e.
Flowers Lung Cordial. The very first
dose gave me relief, and with the first
bottle took new lease of life, and
can honestly say to-day that, one spoon
full of this remedy is worth more to the
sufferer from Lung troubles than gal
Ion of any other known remedy. A bot
tie of it is now one of my choicest pos
sessions, and at the first symptom OF a
cough or cold fly to it for the relief it
never fails to giVe."
DIR. FLOWERS LUNG COR
DIAL is without question the
most wonderful Lung remedy ever
discovered. 1t eradicates the
germ of CONSUMPTION AS NO
REMEDY HAS EVER BEEN
KNOWN TO DO. Tt stands with
out a rival for COUGHS, COLDS,
BRONCHITIS, ASTHMA, and
CONSUMPTION.
Price $1.O0 per bottle. A copy

Treatment of Consumption accom-
Danies each bottle.
