Coughs and Colds.
These very distressing complaints often
lead into CONSUMPUON through ne ,
glect at the first attack. I would therefore
advise those whose bough begins to become
troublesome, and the Expectoration scanty,
with more or less soreness of the throat, di
fficult raising of phlegm, &c. that they sho'd
immediately apply jor a suitable.medicine,
which is Dr. DUNCAN'S EXPECTOR
ANT Remedy for Consumption, &c. This
medicine I have found in every inst..nce to
remove those nnpleasant annoyances in a
few days. One single.bottle will in most ca - 1
ses, prove this assertion. Therefore, you
who wish to escape the early seeds of Con

tunity, and again enjoy the blessings of
health.
