MEDICAL.
Ayers Cherry PectoraI,
For Diseases Of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma
and CousumutiOn.


Probably never before in the whole history OF
medicine, has any thing won so 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 1t has risen higher and higher
in their estimation it has become better known.
Its uniform character and power 10 cure the va
rious affections of the lungs and throat, have
made 1t known as a reliable protector against
them. While adapted to miIder forms Of disease
and TO young children ID Is at tho same time the
most ehectual remedy that can be given for incip-
lent consumption, and the dangerous affections
of the throat and lungs. As n provision against
sudden attacks of Group, IL should be kept on
hand in every family, and indeed ms all are some
times subject TO colds aud coughs, all should be
provided with this nntidote for them.
Although settled COsisstAIp ptf09l is thought In
culable, still great numbers OF cases where the
disease seemed settled, have eecsl completely
cured, and the patient restored TO sound health
by the Cherry PeefOFGi. So complete Is its
Throat that the most obstinate Of them yield 20 IL.
When nothing else could reach themf under the
Cherry PeetOrat they subside and disappear.
Singers aud Public Speakers Ind great
protection from IL.
AsfLAnG IS always relieved and often wholly
cured by It. fls
bronchitis IS generally cured by taking the
Cherry PecfOrGI In small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known, that we
need not publish the certificates OF them here, or
do more than assure tie public that its qualities
arc fully maintained.

Prize Fighting Rebuked.

The Morning Star is an excellently con-
Quoted newspaper, az the following extract
from the number issued yesterday must
satisfy every reader:
On Thursday last two men, styling them
selves fighters, attempted to fight each
other, but were restrained from carrying
their purpose into effect by their respective
fears Of one another. The party who acted
as judge in this abortive attempt Of q fish
cuff, seeing the state Of affairs, adjourned
the meeting, greatly to tho relief Of some
700. spectators, and the especial joy and sat
isfaction Of the principal performers. This
reference to the 90 called prize flggt is al
lowed to faint the columns of this newspa-
per for two reasons. The first reason is
that the evident reluctance and utter re-
fusal Of two noted pugilists to come to any
thing like fighting when pitted against each
other demonstrates the weakness Of the
system of the prize ring, and will do more
to destroy the system than all the homilies
ever written. The second reason is that it
is the duty Of a Christian paper to denounce
in the severest terms those who maintain
the system by attending the disgusting dis
plays. 1t is stated in the daily papers that
OF the zoo who attended the last might have
been fight. large proportion were citizens
OF high social position in this community,
some, we blush to say it, calling themselves
Catholic gentlemen.
