For Diseases OF the Throat and Lunes,
such as Coughs, Colds, whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma.
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has anything won 80 widely and 10 deeply
upon the confidence OF mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series ofyears, and among most OF the races Of
men IL has risen higher and higher In their estima
ton, as 1t has become better known. Its uniform
character and power TO the various affections
Of the lungs and throat, have mado II known a
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mder forms of disease and TO young children, ii Ia
at the same time the most e1ectual remedy that
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
arc sometimes subject TO colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consu,nr fion 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
Cherry Pecforof. so complete Is its mastery
over the disorders Of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield ut. When moth.
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
fordt they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro.
lection from H.
asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pccfordt 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 Influenza, when it affects the throat or
lungs take the same course.
For Whoopin0 Cough, give small doses three
or four times a day.
For Group, give largo and frequent doses until
the disease is overcome.
No family should be without the Cherry Peoto-
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 tho cxigencies that arise. Lives dear to YOU
may hc saved by IL.
80 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 Il ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
