CROSBY ' S BALSAMIC COUGH ELIXER . —Opiates Narcotics , and Squills arc too often invoked to give relief in Coughs , Colds , , and all Pulmonary diseases .

Dr . Rooke Scarborough , author of the " Anti-Lancet , " says : "I have

repeatedly observed how very rapidly and invariably it subdued cough , Pain , and irritation of the chest in cases of pulmonary consumption , and I can , with the greatest confidence , recommend it as a most valuable adjunct to an otherwise strengthening treatment for this disease . " —This medicine , which is free from opium and squills , not only allays the local irritation , but improves digestion and strengthens the constitution Hence it is used with the most signal success in

Asthmas , Bronchitis , Consumption , Coughs , Influenza , Night Sweats of Consumption , Quinsy , and all affections of the throad and chest .
