The following is .1 recominendaiion from Fal-
moiitli :—'l‘o Mr. F. Brown, Chemist, Boston.
Icertify that my wife has been afflicted wiili a
very bad humor on her face, and at her stomach, for
fifteen years past. After using various iiiedici s
rcsonnncnded for her complaints with little or no
benefit, she commenced using, by Ilie advice of Mr.
Edward M ason, Apothecary, your Sarsaparilla and
Tomato Bitters, nhd she is now in betlcrliealtli than
she has before enjoyed for the last fifteen years ; and
I would clicerfully recommend to all and every one
who is afllictcd with any of the complaints which
this medicine is recommended for, to use in prefer-
ence to any article now in use.
Yours respectfully. J. B. BEACH.

or cold ; you allow business, pleasure, or careless-
ness to prevent you from giving it any attention;
itthen settles upon your brcast—you become hoarse,
have pains in the side or chest. expectorate large
quantities of matter, perhaps mixed with blood; a
diflicnliy of breathing ensues and then you find
plaint. If. then, you value life or health, be warned
