PILLS. Much watchfulness must be ex-excised at all times, and the earliest evidences of ill health' must be immediately checked, or a slight illness may result in a serious malady. Relaxed and sore throat, diphtheria, quinsy, coughs, chronic cough, bronchitis, and most other pul-mon ary affections will be relieved by rubbing this cooling Ointment into the skin as near as practicable to the seat of mischief. This treatment, so simple and cfiective, is admirably adapted for the removal of the diseases during infancy and youth.
