Probably never before in the whole history oi
medicine, has anything won so widely and odc,ry
upon the confidence OF mankind, a. this eNcr..,nt
remedy for pulmonary complaints Through 4 laa'-
series OF years, and among most OF the race %
men IL has risen higher and higher In their tll-
hon, as II has become better known. Its Uniform
character and power to cufe the various affections
Of the lungs and throat, have made 1t known ta-
liable protector against them. While adapted .4
milder forms OF disease and to young children, d IS
at the same time the most efectual remedy that gan
b. gwen for incipient consumption, and the dt#-
gcrous affections of the throat and lungs. \ a IH-
vision against sudden attacks of Group. u shoa
BE- kept on hand in every family, and indeed d.
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, a..

Although settled Consumption is thought IN

seemed settled, have been completely cured
and the patient restored to sound health by TIE
Cherry Pectoraf. So complete Is its MASTERY

cured by il.
Bronchitis is generally cured By taking tle
Cherry Pecforal in small and frequent dose.
SO generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here or do mon
than assure the public that its qualities are fully
