LIFE! LIFE! LIFE! SAVE YOU It CHILDPENI, FROM DEATH | BY THAT TERRIBLE DISEASE CROUP. MANY THOUSANDS DIE ANNUALLY. ALL MAY BE SAVED BY GIVING THIJt MORTIMER'S CROUP & COUGH MIXTURE V IN TIME. Also a valuable remedy for the Cough, Whoop- ing Cough, Colds, Influenza, Sore Throats, Hoarseness, Diptheria, Fever, and all Affections of the Chest and Lungs. Croup is a disease that mostly attacks young children, and those who have once had it are more susceptible of it than before; but this grndurlly wears off as they grow older. It sometimes ter- minates fatally within twenty-four hours; although when death happens, it more commonly occurs on the fourth or fifth day. It commences usually with a slight cough, hoarseness, and sneezing, as in a common cold; but soon succeeds a peculiar shrill- nesi and singing of the voice, as if the sound were sent through a brazen tube; then comes the dread- ful and distressing hard singing, and crowing cougb, not unlike the barking of a dog. Whentliis is attended with difficulty of breathing, the case calls for immediate attention, and most active treat- ment. In this stage persons generally begin to get alarmed; but as it comes on mostly in the middle of the right, it often proves fatal, because of the dela; occasioned by waiting until the morning wi'Lout medical aid. The Proprietor having found his CROUP MIXTURE 11 so efficacious in his own family, and being blessed as a means of restoring his children repeatedly from this appalling disease, he thinks it his duty to parents to give it a greater publicity. He has had already the heartfelt gratitude of many mothers for being the means of restoring their children, tha t were once given up. W bile we hear of so many deaths from Croup, what a comfort it must be to have such a remedy ready at hand. What love can that mother have towards her child that will not procure for herself what has been such a blessing to others, when it can be obtained at such a trifling amount. The following are a few from TH0D8AKDS OF GENUINE TESTIMONIALS., Llancerdinan Farm, Conwil, Carmarthenshire. DEAR SIR,—I think it is my duty for the sake of other children to inform you that Mortimer's Croup Mixture was the means of saving my child's life after the doctor had given him up. The first dose gave the child relief. He has had a touch of Croup several times since, but the Croup Mixture given in time always prevents a serious attack. Yours respectfully, BENJAMIN THOMAS. 165, Richmond-road, Cardiff. Mr Francis. DEAR Sm.Please forward per return post a bottle of Mortimer's Croup Mixture. Why do you not have an agent at Cardiff ? I was obliged last night to send for a medical man to attend my child, who had an attack of Croup. Had I Mortimer's Croup Mixture in the house, medical aid would have been unnecessary, as I have always warded off a serious attack by giving the Croup Mixture in time. I have used it for many years, and never find it fail. Yours truly, JOHN AARON. Penrhos, Newham-road, Bedford. giit.-I received the three bottles of Mortimer's Croup and Whooping Cough Mixture. Please send me twelve more bottles as my children have all got the whooping cough. I find it does them so much more good than anything else. Kindly send by return and oblige. Yours truly, A. REES. Cobden Villa, Ferryside, Carmarthen. Mr Francis. DEAR. Sir.Please send me another bottle of that valuable medicine for children Mortimer's Croup and Cough Mixture. I never like to be with. out it in the house. From long experience I can truly say it is the best medicine I have used for croup, whooping cough, and all other coughs in children. A never failing remedy in an attack of creup. Yours faithfully, D. T. MORRIS. 66, Miskin-street, Cardiff. To Mr W. Francis, Chemist, Carmarthen. Dear Sir,—I have to acknowledge the receipt of the two bottles of Mortimer's Croup and Cough Mixture." I have found this preparation so very effective in cases of croup and severe colds that, during the cold season especially, I always like to have a supply at hand. Wherever there are children at all subject to croup, it is in valuable. I firmly believe that it has on more than one occa- sion saved the lives of some of my children. I am by no means a believer or an advocate of the indis- criminate use of patent medicines, but my experience of "Mortimer's Croup Mixture" has been such that I feel impelled, from a sense of duty to other parents, to send you this voluntary testimony. I am, dear Sir, very faithfully yours, B. G. EVANS. From the Rev. J. Thomas, Baptist Minister, Taber- nacle Villa, Carmarthen. DEAR SIR,-I have great pleasure in testifying to the efficacy of Mortimer's Croup and Cough Mixture. We always have it in the house and tind it most beneficial. Yours truly, J. THOMAS. -2, Franois Terrace, Carmarthen. liitAK. SIR,—Kindly send me a bottle of Mortimer's Croup and Cough Mixture. I cannot understand why you do not give greater publicity to it. I have found it a most excellent remedy in cases of Croup, having given it to my children on several occasions, and have never found it fail. I always recommend it to my friends (having children) as a most valuable medicine to keep in the house in case of emergency, a rule I have always adopted myself since I had occasion to make use of it.

BALSAM OF LINSEED AND HONEY exercises a marvellously beneficial influence upon all of the above ailments. It causes free expectoration by removing the hardened phlegm, allays the unpleasant tickling in the throat which excites coughing, gives immediate ease in cases of difficulty of breathing, removes tightness and spasms from across the chest, and heals that unpleasant soreness felt after much coughing. It may be t&ken at any age, by either sex, with perfect safety, fbird' from its pleasant taste and the small quantity given in each dose is admirably adapted for children. Cases of Bronchitis an<i Asthma of long standing have not only been relieved but permanently cured by the use of FRANCIS'S BALSAM. Aged persons and those who, night after night, are prevented from sleeping will find imme- diate relief by taking one dose of this wonderful remedy. •' SOME HIGHLY GRATIFYING RESULTS. Rev. OWEN EVANS, D.D., London. Having tried Francis's Balsam of Linseed and Honey, I can with great pleasure and confidence strongly recommend it is an excellent remedy for colds, coughs, &e.
