CHLORODYNE is admitted by the Profession to be the most wonderful and valuable remedy ever discovered CHLORODYNE is the best remedy known for Coughs, Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma. CHLORODYNE effectually checks and arrests those too often fatal diseases—Diphtheria, Fever, Croup, Ague. CHLORODYNE acts like a charm in Diarrhoea, and is the only specific in Cholera and Dysentery. CHLORODYNE effectually cuts short all attacks of Epilepsy, Hysteria, Palpitation, and Spasms. CHLORODYNE is the only palliative in Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Cancer, Toothache, Meningitis, &c. From Lord FRANCIS CONYNGHAM, Mount Charte-, Donegal, 11th December, 1868. Lord Francis Cnnvngham, who this time last year bought some of Dr J.

"Earl Russell communicated to the College of Physicians that he received a dispatch from her Majesty's Consul at Manilla, to the effect that Cholera has been raging fearfully, and that the ONLY remedy of any service was CHLORODYNE."—See Lancet, 1st December, 1864. CAUTION-BE WARE of PIRACY and IMITATIONS. CAUTION. Vice-Chancellor Sir W. PAGE WOOD stated that Dr J.
