In one case when every remedy tried was powerless to give relief (the cough was so distressing) the 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- I monio Elixir is a remedy of no mean order. From C. F.

I have uniformly . found a single dose of “ Lung Preserver, check a severe paroxysm of coughing. I shall on all occasions have great pleasure in recommending it to sufferers, as I con sider it a boon to mankind.



From 15a4.0 Alusk Esq., Commission Agent— Hereford street, Christchurch, December 6, 1883. After seven yean’ experience I have great pleasure in testifying to the efficacy of your “ Lung Preserver,” having 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 cough, etc. So highly do we esteem it that we always keep a supply on hand.
