&S "a CHERRY PICTORIAL! !
= RH4 Wisdom shall 6ow down to 1t,
N and the great of the earth shall
T~@ kned before IT."
llAAE Never could this be said with
A(EsaynaEIuA more truth, than it now applies
- ~.sr..nss..m~A to this remedy for affections of
the Throat and Lungs. The exalted in learning
and power, acknowledge its supremacy while both
the little and the great can feel its benefits The
liberal minded among those skilled to cure are free
to own its mastery over distempers which have
baffled their art. Those of exalted stations are
not ashamed to testify to its virtues, but deem il
duty and pleasure TO thus hold out the lamp of
their experience to their suffering fellow men.
