tisement below.
The Phoenix Pec
toralror compound
SvmD of WildCherrv and Seneka Snake
Root, will cure the Diseases of the Throat
and Lungs, such as colds, coughs, croup,
Asthma, bronchitis, catarrh, sore throat,
hoarseness, whooping cough, &c.
Its timely use will prevent PULMOARY
CONSUMPTION. And even where this
fearful d'seaae is fully developed, it will
afford more relief than anv other medicine.
J. Lawrence Gelz, ex-Speaker of the
Pennsylvania Houe of Representatives,
says ;"Thi cough remedy is now exten
sive used, and in of the highest value to
the community, its curative qualities hav
ing been tested by thousands with the
moct gratilying results. It is carefully and
skillfully prepared from Wild Cherry Bark
and Sen'eka Snake Root, by Dr. Levi Ober
holizer, a reputable physician of Ph(?nix
ville, Pa., and is sold by nearly all drug
gists and country storekeepers."
D. P. Crosby, ex-Post Master and ex
Burgess of Poltstown, certifies as follows:
POTTSTOWN, Jan. 3, 1865.
Thi certifies tbat I have nsed the Phcs
nix Pectoral in my family, and I recom
mend it to the Public as ihe very best
remedy for cough and colds that I have
ever tried One of my children was taken
with a cold, accompanied with a croupy
cough, so bad, indeed, that il could not
talk and scarcely breathe. Having heard
so much said about ihe Ph. cd nix Pectoral
I procured a bottle of it. The first dose
relieves the difficulty of breathing, and be
fore the child had taken one fourth of the
bottle it was entirely well. Every family
bbould have it in their house.
Signed D. P CROSBY.
J. C. Smith, druggist of New Hope, Bucks
conuty, Pa., in writing to Dr. Obeitiolzer,
says: "A few days since I bought two
dozen of your valuable cough remedy to
try, and find il very good, and a it is near
ly all gone I would Tike you to send me a
gross of it.
"Your medicine gives better satisfaction
than any other I have in the Store. I am
agent lor some of the most popular cough
preparations, but yours seems to be doing
the mopt good."
The following is an extract from a letter
from Hiram Ellis, merchant, near Potts
town, Pa., "I have tried the Phamix Pec
toral and find it to be the best cough med
icine extant. It meets with a more ready
sale than any other tbat I have ever bad in
my store."
The proprietor of this medicine has so
much confidence in its curative powera,
from the testimony of thousands who have
nsed it, that the money will be paid back
to any purchaser who is cot satisfied with
its effects.''
It is so pleasant to take that children cry
for it. Price THIRTY-FIVE CENTS; large
Bottles ONE DOLLAR.
Il is intended for only one class of dis
eases, namely those ot the THROAT and
LUNGS.
