Consumption, Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Asthma, Whooping Cough, Sore Throat, and all affections of the Chest and Throat, KFFOTUALLY RELIEVED & CUBED BT BAXTER’S Lung Preserver. TESTIMONIALS: From Rsv. Chxbi.es Pmnr — I Reefton (Late of Christchurch), ! March 17, 1884 I am happy to sayjyour Pulmonic Elixir afforded my wife and children almost im mediate relief in coughs and colds, and many to whom I hare had the pleasure of recommending your specific have spoken of it as invaluable. In one ease when every remedy tried was powerless to give relief (the cough was so distressing) tbe first dose of your Elixir proved most effective. In another case (sore throat) a cure was soon brought about that the patient resolved in the future to take no thing else. Other cases could be cited, but these will be sufficient to show that your Pul monic Elixir is a remedy of no mean order.



From 0. F. Saltkb, Esq., Barrister and Solicitor— Ingllfl’ BaOdlngs, Christchurch. March 20,1884 I have need yoar Pulmonic Elixir In my family for some years past, and hare found It very efficacious In chest and throat complaints. From William Run, Esq., Shipping and Customs Agent— Lyttelton, Nov. 28. 1883. I have used your Lang Preserver in my family for the last fourteen years, there fora hare the greatest pleasure In bearing testimony to its efficacy in the treatment of coughs, colds, bronchitis, croup whoop* lag cough, etc. I hare recommended it to my friends, who hare also proved It a very palatable and speedy cate for chest and throat complaints. I hare uniformly found a single dose of “ Lang Preserver,’’ check a severe paroxysm of coughing. I shall on all occasions hare great pleasure In recommending it to sufferers, as I con sider It a boon to mankind. From Isaac Allen Esq., Commission Agent— Hereford street, Christchurch, December 6, 1883. After seren years’ experience 1 hare great pleasure In testifying to the efficacy of your “ Lung Preserver,” haring proved it in my family to be a specific for coughs, colds, etc., a few doses invariably subdu ing the nasty harassing cough, while re lieving the throat and chest, it does not, like other nostrums, disorder the digestive organs by inducing nausea, constipation, headaches, loss of appetite, etc. I can heartily recommend it as the best, cheapest and most palatable mixture known for coughs, colds, bronchitis, whooping congh, etc. So highly do we esteem it that we always keep a supply on hand. From W, B. Soon, Esq., Builder, etc., Peterborough reet, Christchurch, December 4, 1883. Some years ago I was recommended to try a bottle of your “ Pulmonic mid* and Lung Preserver,” for tightness in the chest. I did so, and from that time I have never been without it in the house. 1 have found it to answer in every respect for coughs, colds, and sore throat, and would strongly advise those that are suf fering from such complaints to try it.
