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

and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine, has anything won sowidely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a long
series OF years. and among most of the races of
men 1t 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
mil Ter forms of disease and to young children it is
at the same time the most efectual remedy that
be given for incipent consumption and thG dam
rerous 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 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 PectorGi. 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
torai 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
CHERRY Pecforui in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here, do
than the public that its qualities are fully
maintained.

Resurrection Of SInu whe had been Hang
ed-A Startling Story.


A short time ago. one Kriel was hanged at
Louisville and after remaining suspended the
usual time, the body was obtained by same
physicians. who proceeded to try the effects
of galvanic bsttery for the restoration OF
life. The following strange particulars are
given in one of the Louisville papers:
Near midnight light wagon was driven
rapidly ou. of Walnut street, in which were
seated three mufiled silent figures, one of them
a surgeon of great experimental knowledge
IA firm believer in the theory of resuseita-
ton of animal lite through the galvanic pro-
cess. In the wagon were a mattress and sew
eral dark blankets. The wagon halted near
the cemetery fence: the horse was held by
the driver and two men went to The vault.
carrying between them a large sack, well
filed. In short time they returned, bear
ing motionless figure. shrouded in blank
et. The figure was placed on mattress, and
in silence the wagon was driven back to the
city. The body was conveyed 10 the surgery
of most skilful and learned surgeon, where
some ten or twelse excited and expectant stu
dents stood arxiously awaiting the arrival of
the strange party The body was placed in
n recumbens position on the table. the cloth
ing unloosed, the chest extended and an incis-
ion made in one of the veins of the arm. AT
first but small drop of dark-eolored blood
came forth, but repeated incisions and ma
noulations of the body caused it ut last to
trickle forth more freely.
The galvanic battery was applied, and,
horrible and wonderful to relate, in less than
fifteen minutes the warm blood commenced to
course through the chilled body, ard at last
the eyes were opened. The students stood
appalled, ami could hardly realize the extent
of the demonstration before them. One of
them spoke to Kriel, asking him. "Are you
sensible?" The eyes answered expressively,
and the lips opened Intellectually, for no
speech came forth Stmulants were poured
down the throat of the revived criminal, and
in less than one hour after he had been placed
in the surgery Kriel sat up and asked them.
'What have you done? Am aliye?"
The CONSERVATION and vet the professional
delight of the spectators was loudly express
ed. The experiment Of class of students
and an able experimentalisth had resulted in the
of man who had been hung a
short time previous. Steps were Immediately
taken to save the life of the wretched man.
Justice had been satisfied by the public exc
cution though life returned. Why should they
deliver up what had so providentiallv and
been restored? None of Kriel's
personal friends were notified. Strangers
