It is the sterling remedy of the age. One dose affords instantaneous relief; one bottle invariably cures. It operates by dissolving the Congealed Phlegm, oonae- quently ca osing free expec- toration, and promotes the healthy secretion of the lining membrane of the Throat and Lungst thereby removing entirely the most severe occasional Cousrhs, and giving relief in perma- nent Asthmatic Affections. It is prepared from the recipe of a high medical authority on diseases of the Chest and Lungs. It does not contain any inju- rious ingredients, and may be safely taken by persons of all ages. It has been a boon and a blessing to thousands when other remedies have failed. It is sold at a popular price, thus bringing it within the reach of all. It has many imitations, but no equal.
