OCT The extraordinary success attending the use of this madicine in diseases of the lungs, and the many singular cures it has ef fected . having naturally attracted the attention of many physicians, as well as the whole fraternity ' of quacks, various conjectures and surmises have arisen respecting its composition; some physicians have supposed it to contain iodine, other ignorant pretenders say it must contain mercury, and to some such substance ihey each attribute its singu | lar efficacy. As such opinions are altogether er roneous, and calculated to prejudice many person 8 against it, we PLEDGE OUR HONOR that it contains nothing of this kind, or anything the least injurious; on the contrary, it is composed of the I most simple substances, the principal ofwhich are the extracts of lar and wild cherry bark, and the ; whole secret of its efficacy consists in the mode in i which they are prepared. !
