E. B. HARVEY, Justice of the Peace
Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.

For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine has anything won 50 widely and 50 deeply
upon the confidence oi mankind Il this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series of years, ana among most of the races of
men il has risen higher and higher in their estina
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made known as re-
liable protector against them. While adapted to
milder forms of disease and to young children it is
at the same time the efectual remedy that can
be given for incipent consumption, and the dan
gerOus affections of the throat and lungs. As pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group. it should
be kept hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs al
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
curable, 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 PectOraI. 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
| torGI they subside and disappear.
Singers and PstbLic 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 Pectoral in small and frequent doses.
For a Cough and Cold, no better remedy can
| be had. Take small doses three times day and
| put the feet in warm water at night, until the
| disease is broken up.
| For InfueHSd, when it affects the throat or
1 lungs, take the same course.
For Whoopi,,0 Cough, give small doses three
or four times day.
For Group, give large and frequent doses until
the disease is overcome.
| No family should be without the Cherry Pecto-
raj on hand to protect them, in case of attack,
from the above complaints Its timely use often
spares the patient great amount of suffering and
risk, which he would incur by waiting until he
could get other aid. Parents, keep in your houses
for the exigencies that arise. Lives dear to you
may be saved byit.
So generally are its virtues known, that we need
| not publish certificates of them here, or do more
than assure the public that the best qualities
possessed are strictly maintained
