BROWN'S BRONCHIAL ROCHES

Sore Throat, Cough, Cold, and similar troubles, if suffered to progress, result in serious Lung, Bronchial, and Asthmatic Affections, oftentimes incurable. Few are aware of the importance of checking a cough, or "common cold," in its first stage. That which in the beginning would yield to a mild remeFOR dy if neglected, soon attacks the Lungs. COUGHS

Coughs and Colds are often overlooked. A continuance for any length of time causes irritation of the AND Lungs, or some chronic Throat Disease.

The TROCHES are offered with the fullest confidence in their efficacy; hey have been thoroughly tested, and maintain the good reputation they ave justly acquired.

TESTIMONIALS.

These testimonials for the Grammar School Series were given before the new Primary Readers were published.

From JOHN A. ANDREW, Gov. of Mass.

I think the work [the Sixth Reader] has been executed with a single eye to the promotion of general culture, good English style, the introduction of young minds to good writers, and of teaching them, while pupils at school, the greatly neglected art of reading well.

From JOIN G. WHITTIER.

I have no hesitation in commending the series to public patronage.

From JOHN D. PHILBRICK, Superintendent of Public Schools of Boston, From present indications, I feel warranted in saying, that reading in our Grammar Schools will be advanced during the year twenty-five per cent. in consequence of the introduction of this series.

From Rev. A. L. STONE, D. D., Pastor of Park Street Church, Boston. The volumes are aglow with wit, humor, eloquence, pathos, and the purest and loftiest sentiments of patriotism, humanity, and religion.

From Rev. R. H. NEALE, D. D., Pastor of First Baptist Church, Do n. They evince thorough scholarship, extensive and accurate information, and a perfect mastery of the subject in hand.

From Prof. GEO. HOWLAND, Principal of Public High School, Chicago, Ill. I consider Hillard's "Sixth Reader," now in use in my school, by far the best Reader that has been presented to the educational public.

From G. F. PHELPS, Principal of Eaton School, New Haven, Conn. The Introduction, by Prof. Bailey, is the most practical treatise or locution I have ever seen. It marks a new era in the teaching of reading.

Teachers and School Committees are invited to address the publishers. Favorable terms will be given for introduction.
