It is the only safeguard afrd reliable remedy
wkichhas ever been pi epuird ffera the juice
of the Pine Tree It inviaoratc the diecsliv
organs and restores the appetite. It StrcngtL
ens the debillated systeio. It purities and
enriches the blood, and expolls from the sys
tern the corruption whioti scrofula breeds ou
l lie lungs.
lis liealinr principle nets u twin the irttated
surface of the lungs and throat, penetrating to
each diseased part, relieving paia and subdu
ing l'ltlrtiimtiott.
It is the resilt of years of tu ly and expe.
rinicnt, and it is offered to the alllieted, with
the positive insurance of its power to rure tL
following disoases. if the ftitient has not too
long do'ayed a resort to the means of cure :
Consumption of the Lungs, Cough, Sore

We i.re oflrn asked why ar not other reme.'
dies in the market for Consumption, Cough
Colds, nnd other Pulmonary nflectbn equal to
Or. U Q Wisharl's Piue Tree Tar Cordial.
We answer
1st. It cures, not by stopping cough, and
by. loosening and assisting nature to thrnw
off the unhealthy' matter collected about thv
throat and bronchial tubes, causing irritation
and cough.
-d. .Mojt T7iront and Lung Remedies are
composed of anodynes, which allay the cough
for awhile, but by their constringiug effects,
the fibers become liardeucd, nnd the unhealthy
fluids congulalo and are retained in the sys
tem causing disease beyond the control or our
most eminent physicians.
3d. The Pine Tree Tar Cordial, with its as
sislants. perfectable, because they remove Ihe
cause of initalion of the muciioiis membrane
and bronchial tubes, assist the lungs to act
and throw off the unhealthy secietious, and
purify tho blood, thus scientifically makiug
the cure perfect.
