I. ii-t;m ANODYNE COrGII Dliop.^; This is a plesant medicine to take, producing, in uio.st ea.ses, immediate relief, and in nine eases out of ten a prompt cure. It exorcises the most controlling influence over coughs and irritations of the lungs, of any n nicdy I ever knew; often stopping the most violent in a few hours, and Rt most in a day or two, by causing a free and easy expectoration. To do this it is only neccs.«»ary to take the nie«licine in accortl- anoe with the directions, and to increase the Ii>sie one-hsdf or double as much mere for n few time? in violent ca.«e.‘«. This is always safe to do, for even in double doses it ouly nauseates the stomach for a little while, s»n ctfect always beneticial in this whole class of diseases. The wearing of Little'e Strengthening Plaster on the chest over the p.nin, .nnd the using of the Anodyne Cough Drops freely, will arrest the disease in many casrs thought to tje consump tion. And even in consumption, this counse will afford more relief than any and all the renieilics I ever knew or heard of. From a highly rcspect.-ible farmer re.'rfdin-g in Talbot county.

The fii’st dose or two relieved me very much, and by continuing, a free expectoration was soon estab lished, when the cough was no longer troabJe- Bome. One bottle freely usctl, cured me entirely. So soon as I could ride, I visited a neighbor who was also under the advice of a physician, who had been prostrated with a severe* cough, lever, &c., for some time. Your medicine was at once sent for and used freely, and, as in my own case, completely cured him. In July last, I visited a relation in Marion county, Georgia, who was badly afflicted for months with a cough, pronounced ly several to be consumption. 1 advised your Cough Drops to be used, which were immediately sent for, and as usual gave quick relief, and he gradually rceoverel.
