Il indeed, melancholy truth. that thousands fall
victims TO consumption every year from no other
cause than neglected colds; yet we find hundreds,
nay thousands, who treat such complaints with the
greatest indifference, and let them for
weeks, and even months, without thinking of the
danger. At first, you have what you consider
slight cough or cold; you allow business. pleasure,
or carelessness to prevent you from giving It any
attention.; il then settles upon your breast, you be-
come hoarse have pains in the side or chest, expec
torate large quantities Of matter, perhaps mixed
with blood: a difficulty of breathing ensues, and
then you find your foolish neglect has brought
on this complaint. IT, then. you value your life or
health, be warned in time. and don't tribe with
your cold, or trust to any quack nosrum to cure
YOU but Immediately procure s bottle tile Or two Of
OF WILD CHERRY, which is well known to be
the most speedy cure known as thousands
will testify, whose lives have been saved by it.
For influenza il is the very best medicine in the
world.
BE not deceived; remember that spurious imita-
tions and other preparations of Wild Cherry abound
throughout the land, but it Is Dr. Wstar's that has
performed many thousand wonderful cures;
