HEALTH IS STRENGTH. -To prevent Or
conquer disease is one of the grandest at-
tainments ever aimed at by man, and
Bryan's Pulrnonic Wafers will as sere
cure coughs, colds, tickling in the threat
and pulmonary complaints, as war and
pestilence will destroy. Severe colds if
not attended to sooner or later lead to
ineurable consumption, and the strength
of the strongeet soon fails if neglected.
The readiest and best means known for
the cure of these complaints is "Byran's
Pulmonic Wafers," which have been
thoroughly tried for the last twenty
years, and have never been known to
fail. Singers and public speakers will
also derive great benefit from the use of
them. •
