THE PILGRIMS.

Two hundred and fifty years ago, De
cetnber IL, 1920, o. s., little band Of
selfexiled religious but honest enthusi-
asts sailed from the other side of the
Atlantic in the Mayfower and landed on
the rock-b bound coast OF New England.
Plymouth Rock received the first i'm
preston Of their footsteps-the footsteps
of men, woman and children who pre-
ferred exile and freedom to life Of ease,
but what they deemed life Of religious
persecution. The landing has been en-
balmed in song and story. and to-day it
lives hale and green in the hearts Of all
New Englanders. Even the Rock Is
guarded with affection and regarded with
veneration as a precious and priceless
relic. Whatever may be the faults and
foibles Of the Puritan charaeteF, truth
must grant that the founders Of the Ply
mouth Colony were sefnated by the
noblest Of motives in leaving the OLD
World and landing on the New. BDi
the spirit Of persecution also came across
the ocean and likewise landed on Ply
mouth Rock. The Pilgrims, in a spirit o.
gloomy asceticism repaid persecution
with interest. and even an honest differ
ence Of opinion was held as a crime and
deserving Of the sevesest punishment
Baptists. Quakers. and members Of other
seets, received their share Of persecution
from the Puritsns The followers q
Roger Williams and George Fox were
pi,loried and banished by these God
feariag men. Who hated idle amusement
and frisolous conversation. Bot With
an this the pilgrims len their mark upon
the history Of this land, and the germs

For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs.
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consunonfion

and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine, has anything won SO widely and SO deeplv
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series ofyears, 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 as re.
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mlder forms of disease and to young children it is
at the same time the most eectual remedy that can
be given for incpient consumption, and the dan.
gerous affections Of the throat and lungs. AS pro.
vision against sudden attacks of Croup, 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 antidote for them
Although settled Consumption is thought in.
durable, still great numbers of 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
t0rat they subside 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
cnerrv Fecforat in small and frequent doses.
FOR Cough and Cold, no better remedy can
be had. Take small doses three times a dav and
put tne rect in warm water at night, until the
disease is broken up. 'S
For Influenza, when 1t affects the throat or
lungs, take the same course. -
For Whoopin0 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 it in your houses
for the exigencies that arise. Lives dear to you
may be saved by It.
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 it ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
