This Balsam has been patronised by some of the most eminent medical men
in this country, by whom its qualities have been tried and approved. To
some of them the author and proprietor of the pamphlet and medicine has
sent considerable supplies; and its virtues have not only made
astonishing proselytes to the doctrine advanced, with reference to the
speedy cure of pulmonary complaints, coughs, and asthma, in this country,
in Scotland, and Ireland, but in Van Diemen’s Land, Malta, the East and
West Indies, America, and various other parts of the Continent of Europe,
not only is a new light dawning on the mind, but the fame of this remedy
is expanding its beneficial influence on the system with the velocity of
lightning.
Amongst other interesting circumstances, may be noticed that of the late
Rev. ROWLAND HILL, late of Surrey Chapel, Blackfriars-road, who
patronised the use of the medicine, and derived from it singular benefit,
in cases of obstinate cough, to which he was subject; as also did many
distinguished individuals in his congregation; and other ladies of title
and respectability at _Bath_ and elsewhere, whose names we are not
permitted more specifically to mention.
Miss CLARK, a respectable lady, who attended the ministry of Mr. Hill,
after having suffered exceedingly from a most terrible and alarming
cough, was induced to purchase a bottle of the Balsam, from the
representations of a lady, who had on several occasions procured it, to
distribute among the poor; and administered it to others with the most
marked advantage in pulmonary complaints, asthma, and confirmed coughs.
The effect of the first dose was, she said, truly astonishing—it gave her
immediate relief. At night she ceased from coughing and enjoyed tranquil
repose: her cough gradually disappeared; and, in a short time, she became
perfectly convalescent.
The BALSAMIC ELIXIR is prepared only by the Author, H. CONGREVE,
Shepherd’s Bush, and sold retail at 4s. 6d., 2s. 9d, 1s. 1½d., and in
Family Bottles, at 11s. and 22s. each. There is a considerable saving in
purchasing the larger bottles. The Proprietor’s name, “_Henry
Congreve_,” is written by him across the Stamp. All others are
counterfeit preparations.
Messrs. Hannay and Dietrichsen, 63, Oxford-street, London, are appointed
sole wholesale agents for the sale of the above, and the following most
valuable preparation, mentioned in pages 7 and 11, which is also
compounded by the Author:—
_Under the distinguished Patronage of_
HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF SUSSEX,
