FOB TIIE CURE OP
1IIR0AT AND LUNG- . DISEASES
Dr. Wishart's ' Pine Trco
i TAlt CORDIAL.
It is the vital principle of the Tine Treo, ob.
tained by a peculiar proecis in the distilation
of the tar by which its highcBt mcftoal pro
prieties are retained. -
It is the only salcguara anu rounoig romcuy
which has ever been prepared from the juice
of the Pine Treo. It invigorates the digestive
organs and restores the appetite. It Strength
ens the debilialed systom. It purifies and
enriches the blood, and expolls from the sys
tem the corruption whioh scrofula' breeds on
the lungs.
Its healing principle aota upon me lruatea
surface of the lunes and throat, penetrating to
each diseased part, relieving pain and subdu
ing intlamation.
It is the result of years of study and cxpe.
rinient, and it is offered to the afflicted, with
the positive assurance of its power to cure tha
following diseases if the patient has not too
long decayed a resort to the means of cure :
Consumption of the bungs, V ougn, core
throat and Breast, Bronchitis, Liver Com
plaint, Blind and Bleeding Piles, Asthma,
Whooping Cough, Diplhcria, &o-
We are often asked why are not other reme
dies in the market for Consumption, Coughs
Colds, and other Pulmonary affection equal to
Dr.'L. Q. Wishart's Pine Tree Tar Cordial.
We answer
1st. It cures, not, by stopping oough, and
by, loosening and assisting nature to tltrnw .
oir the unhealthy matter collected about tho
throat and bronchial tubes, causing irritation
and cough.
2d. Mojt T'iroat and Lung Remedies are
composed of anodynes, which allay the cough
for awhile, but by their constringing effects,
the fibers become hardened, and the unhealthy
fluids coagulate aud are retained in the sys
tem causing disease beyond the control of our
most eminent physicians.
!Jd. The Pino'Tree Tar Cordial, with its as
sislants, perfeetiiblc, because they remove the
cause of irritation of the mucuous membrano
and bronchial tubes, assist, tho lungs to act
and throw off the unhealthy Bccrctions, aud
piirjfy the blood, thus scientifically making
the cure perfect.
Dr. Wishtirt nas on file at his office hun

men and women of unquestionable character
