which breed and grow distemper, stimulate
sluggish or disordered organs into their natural
action, and impart healthy tone with strength
to the whole system. Notonly do they cure the
every day complaints of everybody, but also

baffled the best of human skill. While they
produce powerful effects, they are at the same
time, in diminished doses, the safest and best

and for the relief of consumptive patients in ad
vanced stages of the disease.
We need not speak to the public of its virtues.
Thought every town and, almost every hamlet
of the United States, its wonderful cures of pull
monary complaints have made it already known.
Nay, few are the families in any civilized coun-
try on this continent without some personal ex-
perience of its effects and fewer yet the com
munitics anywhere which have not among them
some living trophy of its victory over the subtle
rnd dangerous diseases of the throat and lungs.
While it is the most powerful antidote yet know n
to man for the most formidable and dangerous
diseases of the pulmonary organs, it is also the
pleasantest and safest remedy that can be EN-,
ployed for infants and young persons. Parents
should have it in store against the insidious en-
envy that steals upon them unprepared. We have
| abundant grounds to believe the Cherry Pectoral
saves msre lives by the consumptions it prevents
than those it cures. Keep it by you, and cure
your colds while they are durable, nor neglect
them until 10 humrn skill can master the mex
orable canker that, fastened on the vitals, cats
your life away. All know the dreadful fatality
of lung disorders, and as they know too the vir-
tues of this remedy, we need not do more than
to assure them it is still made the best it can be
We spare no cost, no care, no toll to produce ii
the most perfect possible, and thus afford those
who rely on it The best agent which our skill can
furnish for their cure.
