Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,


Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine, has anything 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 III 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 re-
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mil Ter forms of disease and to young children it is
ut the time the most efectual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and thu dam
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, 1t should
be kept on hand = 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 where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry Pectordi. 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
fOraI they subside and disappear.
Singers aud 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 PectordI in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that we need
