DR. J. COLLIS BROWNE'S CHLORODYNE.

ADVICE TO INVALIDS.-If you wish to obtain quiet refreshing sleep, free from headache, relief from pain and anguish, to calm and assuage the weary achings of protracted disease, invigorate the nervous media, and regulate the circulating systems of the body, you will provide yourself with that marvellous remedy discovered by Dr. J. COLLIS BROWNE (late Army Medical Staff), to which he gave the name of

CHLORODYNE,

And which 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. [Ague CHLORODYNE effectually checks and arrests those too often fatal diseases-Diphtheria, Fever, Croup, 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.

CAUTION.-BEWARE OF PIRACY AND IMITATIONS.

CAUTION.-Vice-Chancellor Sir W. PAGE WOOD stated that Dr. J. COLLIS BROWNE was, undoubtedly, the Inventor of CHLORODYNE; that the story of the Defendant, FREEMAN, was deliberately untrue, which, he regretted to say, had been sworn 10.-See Times, July 13, 1864.

HOGE'S

HOREHOUND HONEY.

BEE PASTURAGE.

NEW countries, where the natural luxuriance of plants is not checked by the grazing of domestic animals, are particularly favourable to bee culture, and when Mr. HOGE first visited California, in 1854, he found it was one sweet bee garden throughout its entire length, north and south, and all the way across, from the snowy Sierra to the ocean. Wherever a bee might fly within the bounds of this virgin wilderness-through the forests, along the banks of the river, along the bluffs and headlands fronting the sea, over valley and plain, and deep leafy glen, or far up the piney slopes of the mountains, throughout every belt and section of climatebee flowers bloomed in lavish abundance. Each of these are reservoirs that yield the most wonderful remedy in the world for the cure of coughs, sore throats, sore lungs, &c.-Horehound Honey. These miniature laboratories stamp with faultless certainty this honey with a colour and flavour peculiar to itself.

The work of the honey-bee is to gather the sweet treasure so divinely prepared, and bear it off, saying to suffering humanity, "Eat! It is the soul or the blossom."

HOME TESTIMONY.

No medicine ever came before the public with such unquestionable recommendations and distinguished patronage as "Hoge's Horehound Honey." It has proved a veritable revelation to all who have tried it.

THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON ORDERS IT.

"Mansion House, London, E.C., Sept. 28, 1883. "The Lord Mayor would thank Messrs. W. M. Hoge & Co. to send him half a dozen of their 'Hoge's Horehound Honey,' which has been well recommended to him."

THE PRIMA DONNA.

"Hawthorn Lodge, Finchley New Road, N.W., March 30, 1883. "GENTLEMEN,—I have much pleasure in stating that I consider your 'Horehound Honey' the most wonderful remedy I have ever tried, possessing properties which are nothing short of marvellous, for the cure of affections of the throat and chest. I shall never be without a bottle of 'Horehound Honey.'-MARIE ROZE MAPLESON."

"Your Honey is delicious.-ELLEN TERRY."

"67 Warwick Road, Maida Vale, W., Oct. 5, 1883.

"DEAR SIRS,-I have great pleasure in bearing testimony to the excellence of your 'Horehound Honey' for the throat and the voice. I have used, and use it now at intervals, as I found it for my voice of great value, and therefore I can recommend it from my own experience, especially to singers.-LOUISE LIEBHART."

W. L. BRIGHT, Esq., son of the Right Hon. JOHN BRIGHT, M.P., says Hoge's Horehound Honey CURED his father of a bad cough.

Rev. C. D. KINGDON says: "It makes the voice clear and pleasant, and takes away all that huskiness in the throat which is so uncomfortable to preacher and congregation."
