and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has anything won so widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series of years, and among most of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher in their estima.
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known a re-
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mlder forms of disease and to young children it is
at the same time the most efectua remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dan.
gerOus affections of the throat and lungs AS pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it 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 antdote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
curabe still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry PectOral. So complete is its mastery
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 Cherry Pee
tOrat they subsde and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro.
lection from it.
asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry PectoraI in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here or do more
than assure the public that its qualities fully
maintained.
