we have known Of the effects of your CHERRY

severe and relentless cough, oh reduced her
very low; SO that little hope could be entertained
OF her recovery. Numerous remedies had been
tried without effect before the CHERRY Pee
lOkAL. And that has cured her. George Wat
kinson, Esq, had to our knowledge been afflicted
with Asthma, for eteuen years, and grown yearly
worse. until the CHERRY PECT ORAL has now
removed the disease and he is as free from any OF
its symptoms as we The Rev. Mark Dane
had been so severely attacked with the Bronchitis,
r as to disable him from his duties and nothing
A had afforded him reliei, until Mr. Thornng

cured him at once, and he oiciates as usual in
