This, made into thre: to five grain pills by incorporating any iv tt vegetuble powder, was administered trom 010 to five times a day in one pill doses. The fist effect, be says, is the disappeardnce oi the cough; night sweats are relieved, appetite improves, and weight is rapidly gained. 1tis to be hoped that Dr. Griffith bas not mistaken some self limiting phase of throat or bronchial disorder for true con~ sumption of the lungs ; also that a continued nist high opinion he has formed in regard to its efficacy. > i trial of the alleged remedy will justify the | Unfortunite Shareholders.--Five XMAS VEIYEARY GIFTS: | HY, JUST STEP INTO C, B.
