the positive assurance of its power to cure the .
following diseases, if the patient has not too

Colds, and other Pulmonary nffeotbn equal to
Dr. L. Q. Wisuart s I'me iree iar uoruiau
We answer
1st. It cures, not by stopping cough, and
by, loosening and assisting nature to thrnw
off the unhealthy matter collected about the
throat and bronchial tubes, oausing irritation
and cough.
2d. Most Throat and Lung Remedies are
composed of anodynes, which allay the cough
for awhile, but by their conatringing effeots,
the fibers beoome hardened, and the unhealthy
fluids coagulate and are retained in the sys
tem causing disease beyond the control of our
most eminent physicians.
Sd. Tbe Pine Tree Tar Cordial, with Its as
sistants, pcrfectable, because they remove the
oause of irritation of the mucuous membrane
and bronohial tubes, assist the lungs to act
and throw off the unhealthy seoietions, aud
purify the blood, thus scientifically making
the cure perfect.
