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

SuCQ rs SOuRASs oSANo, "ASSpAB
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
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 a long series of years, and among most
of the races of men it has risen higher and higher
in their estimation, as it has become better known.
Its uniform character and power to cure the va
rious affections of the lungs and throat, have
made it known as a reliable protector against
them. While adapted to milder forms of disease
and to young children, it is at the same time the
most efectual remedy that can be given for inclp-
lent consumption, and the dangerous affections
OF the throat and lungs. AS 4 provision against
sudden attacks of Group, it should beskept on
hand in every family, and indeed as all are some
times subject to colds and coughs, all should be
provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought III
durable, still great numbers of cases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to sound health
bv the Cherry Pecforaz. So complete is its
mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and
Throat, that the most obstinate Of them yield to it.
When nothing else could reach them, under the
CHe7-ry Pect0raI they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great
protection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectorat 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 the public that its qualities
are fully maintained.

You are struck by the great number Of
children everywhere here. Some houses
absolutely overflow with them, some ia
bles are embowered in "olive branches. .
The different sets get along very well TO-
gether generally, but that is little won.
der, after the miracle of agreement among
the mothers. Polygamy does net seem
to spare women the cares Of matern ity
[ know Mormon household in whic
two middle aged wives count about two
dozen children between them. l took
two fair haired little girls for tw ms, and
they were a sort of polygamic twins, born
almost at the same time in the same
house. Of different mothers. It seems to
me that the children here DO not look as
happy and bright, as in our towns; [ fan
cy that the little girls at least have some
thing Of the subdued, repressed look of
their mothers. But some few of them are
pretty, and nearly all neatly and com for
tab ly dressed. ! hear that they have
very good schoo Is, and are under good
discipline, answering to roll call at hight
and duly IGNORING their father and their
mothers.
Many Mormon wives are sisters, and it
is said they get along quite harmonious
ly. The very nature of women seem to
be changed here, and turned upside down
and Inside out. An intelligent .'frst
wife" told Gen tile neighbore that the
only wicked feeling she had about her
husband taking a second wife was that
he did not take her sister, who wanted
him. or rather share in him. She
would have liked to have kept the prop
erty in the family. / saw, the other
day, pair Of young wives, sisters, walk

particular, Of the same height and COM

indeed, looking so exactly alike, that it
was almost case of mitigatcd bigau Y.
1t must seem qneer, even to them, t.
say ''our husband. as they use to say
"our piano. or our pony.
The most singular and unnatural mar
riages here are those of men with their
wives mothers. These are not frequent.
1t strikes me this is seditous plot against
immemorial domestic authority, the most
ancient court of feminine appeal, that it is
an attempt TO do away with mothes-in-
laws. When young wives are taken, the
three or foul or five do not always be-
come one flesh, there is somstimes rebel
lion and even hostility on the part o f the
old wife. Occasionally a husband OBJ
jects to second wife imposed upon him.
