IIADLOCK'S Vegetable Powder and Syrup, For Diseases of tue Lungs, Liver Com plaints, Dyspepsia, Coughs, Colds, tyc. fPHE operation of this Medicine is par- , ticularly mild and safe. It promotes a gep tie and healthful perspiration, and checKs hiorbid and pernicious sweatings ; relieves chronic affec tions and congestions of the lungs ; assuages 'cough; promotes a free Mid mild expectoration; removes pains from the chest; relieves asthmatic br dirHcult respiration ; corrects obstinate costive ness, and leaves the bowels in a regular and healthy state. Those painful symptomr which indicate diseased lungs readily yield to this cer tain remedy, when seasonably resorted to; and restores the patient to the bodily vigor which that wastiug disorder, the consumption, if left to. its natural operation, so surely destroys.
