Breast and Chest, Influenza, Whooping Cough, Croup and all diseases of the Liver and LUNGS. Has now been before the puplic for several years During which time its value has been tested by thou sands who were laboring under the numerous diseases which have their origin in a common Catarrh or Cold, and which this medicine is designed to cure. The result of this trial has been to place "Duocan's Reme dy." at the head of the patent medicines of the day. BY ITS . OWN MERITS AND EICELLZBCZ, it has attained a popularity exceding that of any other preparation. now offered to the public for the prerven. lien and cure of that large andfrightfuticass of diseas es which so frequently lead to. Lai .turmicate ,CONSUMPTION, It is now offered to the afflicted wish confidence as the ern preparation for Coughs, Colds, &c. extant. We are warranted in assuming for it this high charac ter, by the proofs, which we are constantly receiving, oPtbe invaluable benefits derived from its use. Tes timonials and recommendations of the strongest kind are constantly being received trom all quarter, by the Proprietor and Agents. In relieving cases of Asthma, Difficulty in Breathing, Pain in the Side and Breast, it is unequalled; in cur ing Bronchitis, Coughs and Colds. and in short remov ing all the symptoms of approaching Pulmonary Con sumption, ITS SUCCESS HAS BIEN'UNPARALLELE D. No other medicine has proved itself so really inva. (table. Thousands in Pittsburgh and the vicinity, are, as far as human agency is cmcernerl, indebted to Dr. Duncan's Expectorant Remedy for prolonging life and health. Many persons after using the other cough medicines of the day without effect, have been com pletely restored by this truly GREAT DISCOVERY in the MELTING ART. A strong and undoubted evidence of i's worth, is to be found ;n the high degree of popular favor which it 'has Tee - Lived since its introduction into the West.— Wherever no agency has been opened for its sale, and wherever it has received a fair and honest wial, it has become firmly established as a STANDARD FAMILY MEDICINE. It is rapidly superseding the ace ofthe many nos trums, which have so long imposed upon the communi ty, which have obtained their name only by puffing and braggadocia, and which are now destined to be thrown aside to make way for the best cough medicine of the present age. It is not pretended that it will positively cure every case of the disease, for which it is designed, but it is honestly believed that in every case where it gets a fair chance it will effect a cure. Coming, then, before the people with the highest recommendations, it is atleast, worthy of a trial by all • who are afflicted with any of that large and dangerous class of diseases, F • The following is a specimen of the numerous testi monials which wehave received. It is from a PHY SICIAN of high standing in Ohio. Dear Sir—Having had occasion to witness the ef fect of Dr. Dancan's Expectorant Remedy On Mr Eli Young in a case of Pulmonary Consumptioa, I felt it my duty to make a brief statement in order4A others that are or may be afflicted with the same complaint maybe benefitted by the same remedy. He was attacked with infianunation in the left lobe It of the lungs in March 1843, attended with acute pain, great difficulty of breathing, and a severe cough, which ; promoted rapidly to ouppuration: and not withstanding ~ the use and application of the best remedies prescribed by our authors, the complaint in a few days began to exhibit evident symptoms of ulceration. In this distressing , srage of the Lion fat, had re eouraerte Dr Duncan sExpectorant Remedy for con sumption, which had the effect of checking the disease immediately, and in a few days the pain ceased, the breathing became free end. Emy, the cough left him, and the expectoration subsided, the consequences of which was that in using six bottles he has recovered his health, and is restored to his family. I do hereby certify the above tcrbe true statement of my case as far as comes within rnrknovitiedge. ELI YOUNG.
