 We need not speak to the public of its virtues throughout every town, and almost every hamlet O1 the American States its wonderful cures of pulmona ry complaints have made it already known. Nay, few are the families in any civilized country on this continent without some personal experience of its effects; and fewer yet the communities anywhere which have not among them some living trophy oi it's victory the subtle and dangerous diseases o the throat and lungs While it is the most powerful antidote yet known to man for the formidable and dangerous diseases of the pulmonary organs it is also the pleasantest and safest remedy that can be employed for infants and young persons. Parents should have it in store against the nsidious enemy that steals upon them unprepared. We have abund- ant grounds to believe the CHERRY PICTORIAL saves lives by the censumptions it prevents than those it cures. Keep it by you, and cure your colds while they are curabe, nor neglect them until no human skill can master the memorable canker that fastened on the yitals, eats your life away.
 All know the dreadful fatality of lung disorders, and they know too the virtues of this remedy, we ed not do than assure them it is still made the best it can be- We spare no cost, no care, no toll to produce it the most perfect possible and thus afford those who rely it the best agent which skill can furnish for their cure
