In consumption beware Of cough mix
lures and prescriptions that contain
opium. Opium paralizes the nerves,
and gives the comma bacillus a good
chance to destroy the lungs. 1t is
always fatal. Brazilian Balm does not
contain a trace of any opiate, but stimu-
lates the nerves with new life and power,
destroys the microbe, and restores all
that is left of the diseased lungs to a
sound and healthy state which no other
remedy has ever been known to accom-
plish.
