COUGHS, COLDS, ASTHMA, BRONCHITIS.]

DR. J. COLLIS BROWNE’S CHLORODYNE IS THE GREAT SPECIFIC FOR CHOLERA DIARRHŒA, DYSENTERY.

Dr. J. COLLIS BROWNE’S CHLORODYNE.--Dr. J. C. BROWNE (late Army Medical Staff) DISCOVERED a REMEDY to denote which he coined the word CHLORODYNE. Dr. Browne is the SOLE INVENTOR, and, as the composition of Chlorodyne cannot possibly be discovered by Analysis (organic substances defying elimination), and since the formula has never been published, it is evident that any statement to the effect that a compound is identical with Dr. Browne’s Chlorodyne _must be false_.

This Caution is necessary, as many persons deceive purchasers by false representations.

DR. J. COLLIS BROWNE’S CHLORODYNE.--Vice Chancellor Sir W. PAGE WOOD stated publicly in Court that Dr. J. COLLIS BROWNE was UNDOUBTEDLY the INVENTOR of CHLORODYNE, that the whole story of the defendant Freeman was deliberately untrue, and he regretted to say it had been sworn to.--See _The Times_, July 13th, 1864.

GENERAL BOARD of HEALTH, London, REPORT that it ACTS as a CHARM, one dose generally sufficient.

Dr. GIBBON, Army Medical Staff, Calcutta, states: “2 DOSES
COMPLETELY CURED ME of DIARRHŒA.”

_From_ SYMES & CO., Pharmaceutical Chemists, Simla. _Jan. 5, 1880._

_To_ J. T. DAVENPORT, London.

DEAR SIR,--We congratulate you upon the widespread reputation
this justly-esteemed medicine has earned for itself all over the
East. As a remedy of general utility, we much question whether a
better is imported, and we shall be glad to hear of its finding a
place in every Anglo-Indian home. The other brands, we are happy
to say, are now relegated to the native bazaars, and, judging from
their sale, we fancy their sojourn there will be but evanescent.
We could multiply instances _ad infinitum_ of the extraordinary
efficacy of DR. COLLIS BROWNE’S CHLORODYNE in Diarrhœa and
Dysentery, Spasms, Cramps, Neuralgia the Vomiting of Pregnancy,
and as a general sedative, that have occurred under our personal
observation during many years. In Choleraic Diarrhœa, and even in
the more terrible forms of Cholera itself, we have witnessed its
surprisingly controlling power.

We have never used any other form of this medicine than Collis
Browne’s, from a firm conviction that it is decidedly the best,
and also from a sense of duty we owe to the profession and the
public, as we are of opinion that the substitution of any other
than Collis Browne’s is a deliberate breach of faith on the part
of the chemist to prescriber and patient alike.--We are, Sir,
faithfully yours, SYMES & CO., _Members of the Pharm. Society of
Great Britain, His Excellency the Viceroy’s Chemists_.

DR. J. COLLIS BROWNE’S CHLORODYNE is the TRUE PALLIATIVE in NEURALGIA, GOUT, CANCER, TOOTHACHE, RHEUMATISM.

DR. J. COLLIS BROWNE’S CHLORODYNE is a liquid medicine which assuages PAIN of EVERY KIND, affords a calm, refreshing sleep WITHOUT HEADACHE, and INVIGORATES the nervous system when exhausted.

DR. J. COLLIS BROWNE’S CHLORODYNE rapidly cuts short all attacks of EPILEPSY, SPASMS, COLIC, PALPITATION, HYSTERIA.

IMPORTANT CAUTION.--The IMMENSE SALE of this REMEDY has given rise to many UNSCRUPULOUS IMITATIONS. Be careful to observe Trade Mark. Of all Chemists. 1s. 1½d., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d.

SOLE MANUFACTURER, J. T. DAVENPORT, 33 Gt. Russell St., W.C.

_Dr. BROWNE coined the word CHLORODYNE to designate his discovery, therefore to apply the word to other preparations is dishonest._
