Prepared from the Mountain and Forest Plants of New Zealand. In Asthma the New Cure has proved itself to be Head and Shoulders Above All Other' Remedies. THE NEW CURE is the only Specific yet discovered for Diphtheria. In Croup the NEW CURE has no rival. It saves emetics, lighting fires, hot baths, and all the attendant worry incidental to the arrival of the Midnight Monster. In Typhoid Fever the NEW CURE disinfects, soothes and "gives refreshing sleep. The NEW CURE is the only true Lung Disinfectant. In no instance has a death occurred from diptheria when the "New Cure" has been freely used from the first outset of the disease, and so great are its pro tective powers, that the complaint has never been known to spread to other members of the family.,, " The New Cure, 3s 6d ; Grindelia Robusta Cigarettes, 2s ; Asthma Tobacco, 2s 6d' and Is. 5J78 DISSOLUTfoN OF PARTNERSHIP.
