    permits tlie faculties to remain intact until the last ember burns out. 1 will draw a veil over the last agonies of the sufferings of the Consumptive patient, as my object is not to portray the horrors of dissolution, but to aid, as far as I can, in amelio¬ rating this sad condition of the invalid, at least, if not always, positively restoring him to good health, by means of the spe¬ cific medicine which I have so successfully prepared for every shade and variety of Consumption or Tubercular Phthisis. There is not a single symptom or producer of Consumption that the Acacian Balsam (with proper hygienic adjuncts) does not take hold of and dissipate, such as Bronchitis, Asthma, sharp pains in the chest, Marasmus, or wasting of the flesh, difficult expectoration, sore throat, coughs and colds, general debility, &c.

I will guarantee it to cure the worst and most hopeless cases the world ever saw. One half bottle of the Acacian Balsam will so relieve the asthmatic sufferer that he will surely per¬ severe with the use of the medicine until he has experienced, a total change in the condition of his respiratory organs. As many people ask what are the exact properties or ingre¬ dients of ibis remedy, I w.n here describe several of the more important of the plants of which it is composed. Souk; (not all) of the ingredients of the Acacian Balsam are Lint /ivort, the Mucilayinous Baobab of Africa, the EryJiruxylon, East India Hemp E/ant, Coca oj' South America, the Enuliih
