Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption


Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has anything 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 estma.
ton, a. IL 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
mder forms of disease and to young children, 1t IL
at the same time the most electua 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 aud coughs. all
should be provided with this antidote for them
Although settled Consumption Is thought In.
durable, still great numbers of cases where the dis.
ease seemed settled have been completely cured
and the patient restored to sound health by the

over the disorders oi the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate Of them yield to it. When moth.
ing else could reach them, under the Chcr,.y Pee

lection from it.
asthma Is always relieved and oflen wholly
cured by it.
bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Tectordi in small and frequent Doses
For Co"Dh and Totd, no better remedy can
be had. Take small doses three times day and
put the feet III warm water at night, until the
disease Is broken up.
For Influenza. when it affects the throat or
lung, take the same course
For UhoopinD Cough. give small doses three
or four times 4 day.
For Group, give large and frequent doses until
the disease Is overcome.
No family should be without the Cherrv Ie.fo-
