Misunderstanding has, of late,
been much discussion as to the proper
method of Ventilating apartments,
somerequiring the opening to be at the
top. A recent author says both are
right; that the noxious gases generated
by respiration. by emanatiOns from
the body, and by conclusions, are of
two kinds-some, like carbonic acid
being heavier than air, and tending to
settle towards the floor, others by rising
be made at both levels, thesegaaes Will
flow out, especially IL the fresh air be
introduced through a register, interme-
diate between the two. In this, how
ever, care must be taken to avoid a
direct draft OF the incoming air on the
body. which would, of course tend to
produce cold.

Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases OF the Throat and LunCs,
such as Coughs, Colds, TYhOOpinx
Cough. Bronchitis, AAthnlN,
and Communion

Probably never before in the whole history OF
medicine, has anything won widely and SO deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints, Through long
series Tyears, and among most of the races OF
men II has risen higher and higher III their esCiIhA.
ton, as 1t has become better known. Its uniform
character aud power to cure the various affections
Of the lungs and throat, have made it known
liable protector against them. While adapted to
milder forms of disease and to young children, il
at the same time the most enectunl remedy that can
he given for incipient consumption, and the dan
gcrouS affections Of the throat and lungs. As pro.
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand i'll every family, md indeed rs all
shond he provided with this untitote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
durable, still great numbers Of cases WherO the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and tho patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry I'ccEOE'GI. So complete is It's mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate OF them yield to II. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry PeO-
fOrGE they subside and disappear.
Singers aud Public Speakers Ind groSt Pre-
lection from it.
AstAmG is always relieved and OXEN wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry PectoT0l in small aud frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that II is un.
necessary TO publish the certificates Of them hers
or do more than assure the public that its qualities
are fully maintained.
