Instead of snch fallacious remedies , which yield momentary relief at the expense of enfeebling the digestive organs and thus increasing that debility which lies at the rcot of the malady , modern science points to Crosby ' s Balsamic Cough Elixer , as thc true remedy . —Select Testimonial .

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 thc greatest confidence , recommend it as amost valuable adjunct to an otherwise strengthening treatment for this disease .
