Probably never before in the whole history OF

upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints Through long
series of years, and among most Of the races VI
men it has risen higher and higher in their estima.
tion as il has become better Known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various aeetiotiS
of the lungs and throat have made itznown as re-
liable protector against them. While adapted 70
mder forms of disease and TO young erdren, it is
ut the same time the most eectual remedy that ean
be given for incipient consumption, and the. fan
serous affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro-
Sision against sudden attacks Of Cro9p, 1T should
be kept on hand in every family and Indeed as all
are sometimes subject TO colds and. coughs, all
should be provided with this aDtidote for them.
Although settled Consumpttoll Is thought in.
durable, still great numbers of caSesvh the dis
case seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by TIE
Cherry Pectorof. So complete is its pastery
over the disorders Of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the CAeTE;y Pee
foral they subsitfe and disappear. Ga Sci
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from it. .,o-

cured by it.
