Ivy was visited yesterday morning with a
severe frost, the first time that such an
occurrence has happened in this vicinity
during the month of Angus, for a number

severe two oi three miles from the city

on the Pontiac turnpike, four miles from
this city,ihe cropsof potatoes, buck heal
and corn are badly nipped. while pump
kins, squashes, cucumbers. melons, swee,

completely cut off, and look as black
as If fire had swept over them. In

deed the whole face OF the country at an

CHERRY PICTORIAL,
For the rapid Cure OF
COUGHS, COLDS, HOARSENESS,
BRONCHITIS, WHOOPING-COUGH,
GROUP, ASTHMA, AND
CONSUMPTION.

Many years OF trial, instead OF Impair
ing the public confidence in this medicine,
has won for it an appreciation and notori-
ETY. by far exceeding the most sanguine ex.
pectations of its friends. Nothing but its
intrinsic virtues and the unnlistak bic
benefit conferred on thousands of suffer
ers, could originate and maintain the rep
utation 1t enjoys. While many inferior
remedies thrust upon the community, have
failed and been discarded, this has gained
friends by every trial, conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and
produced cures too numerous aai too re-
markable TO be forgotten.
Willie j. is fraud on the public to pre-
tend that any one medicine will infallibiy
cure-still there is abundant proof that
the CHERRY PICTORIAL does not only as
general thing, but almost invariably, cure
the maladies for which it is employed.
AS time makes these facts wider ani bet.
Ter known, this medicine has gradually be-
come the st reliance of the afflicted
from the log cabin of the American peas
ant, to the palaces Of European Kings
Throughout this entire country, in every
State, city, and indeed almost every ham
let II contains, CHERRY PEcToRAL is known
as the best remedy extant for diseases of
the Throat and Lungs, AMI in many for
elgn countries, it is coming to bsextsnsive-
ly used by their most intelligent Physi.

ed their highest perfection. CHEsRY PEc-
ToRAL is introduced, AMI in constant use
in the Armies, Hospitals, Aims House,
Public Institutions, an | in do mes,ic prac-
tlce, as the surLst remedy their attending
Physicians can employ for the more dan
gerous affections of the lungs. Also in
mider cases, and for children it is safe,
pleasant, and effectual to cure. la fact,
some of the most aatterins testim onials
we receive have been from parents who
have found ii eiiicacious in cases particu-
larly incidental to childhood.
The CHERRY PRETORIA is manufactured
by Chemist, and every ounce Of it under

from countedeits, consequently can be re-
lied on as genui nc without adultera.iou.
We have endeavor3l hr. to furnish tn,

this has by repeated and countless trials
