It was early in the spring of '52 that this upound wan originated. A member of my oily was afflicted with an Irritation of the oat attended with a disagreeable cough. 1 1 for ?ome months previous thought that reparation having lor Its basis the inside I k of white pine might be fo compounded to be very useful in diseases of the throat 1 lungs. To test the value of it in the case ade?i to, I compounded a small quantity the medicine that I had been planning, I gave It in teaspoonful doses. The result s exceedingly gratifying. Within two rs the irritation of the throat was rernov- . the cough subsided and a speedy cure ] s ellecLed. Boon lifter this, I sent some to idy In Londonderry. N.
