L. Scovill & Co.'a Almanac for 1864, is calculated to deceive the public, and appeared there without my consent and further, that I never gave a letter or certificate, to my old firm, A. L.

Gentlemen With pleasure I make known to you the result of tbe use of ALLEN'S LUNG BALSAM? by me. 1K For thirteen years I have been afflicted with a severe and racking Cough, some of the time verv troublesome, attended with much pain in my breast and lungs. I commencea the use 01. A ITEM'S .LUNG 1JAL- bAJU. about the first of February, and it gave me immediate relief, causing easy expectora tion and entirely curing the pain in my breast and lungs. I had taken many other remedies recommended without any permanent relief, but the first bottle of the BALSAM gave me more relief than all the other remedies I had before taken. I continued its use and it has nearly cured all the symptoms of the disease, and I desire- to keep it constantly by me. I cheerfully recommend, it to all who may be afflicted with a cough or lung disease as I have been. I am now sixty-three years old, and have suffered much and have used many rem edies. Not only my cough but my general health is better than it has been for years, and there is no remedy that I could recommend to my friends for the relief and cure of all Lung diseases in preference to ALLEN'S LUNG BALSAM.
