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

and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has anything 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 it has risen higher and higher in their estma.
tion 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 as re.
liable protector against them While adapted to
mider forms of disease and to young children, it is
at the same time the most eec.ual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dam
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
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in.
durable, still great numbers of where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry Pectoral. 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
toral they subside and disappear.
Singers and 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 PectoraI in small and frequent doses.
For 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 Whooping Cough, give small doses three
or four times day.
For Group, give large and frequent doses until
the disease is overcome.
No family should be without the Cherry Pecto-
rat 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 tin your houses
for the exigencies that arise. Lives dear to you
may be saved by it.
So 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 it
possessed are strictly maintained.

VIII Do iald to that point early IN the spring as
tie weather will permit. From Fryeburg the road
ID under contract to Conway, N. H., to which point
trains will run in July, 1871.
The road has thus far been bu;lt and .or;rn.a
from cash subscriptions to the Capital Stock but to
complete it to Bartlett, N. H., and to provide add
tional equipment for its increasing business. tho
Company has issued bonds to the amount of $780,
ooo secured by mortgage OF it, entire property to
the following Trustees:
WOODBURY. DAVIS,
SAMUEL f. SPRING,
WESTON r. MILLIKEN.
We now offer these Bonds for sale and confidently
recommend them as a safe and profitable invest
ment for these reasons:
l. Low Price. At the present value of
us. Bonds, these Bonds pay. one per cent
more interest in gold on the investment
2. Ample Security. The ehtire mort
gage upon the road when completed to. Bart
lett will be only $12 500 per mile, smaller
incumbrance than upon any other railroad
to Maine, with single exception, and lees
than the value of its rails and equipment.
8. Large and Profitable ELocal
Traffic. The business upon the line al
ready completed more than meets the expec-
tations of its most sanguine friends, and Sc
cures beyond doubt the interest on Eits
Bonds. The line is the natural outlet lot
some OF the finest waterpower i'm the State,
on the Presumpscot and Saco rivers hither-
to unimproved on account of the difficulty of
reaching the sea-board. 1t taps tho large in
terror navigation OF Lake Sebago and its trib-
utaries,over "a miles of inland waters, drains
avery large agricultural district lying on the
shores OF Lake Sebago and ON the bal ks of
the Ossipee and Saco rivers, and penetrates
the heart of the White Mountains at CONWAY
and Bartlett, the most popular summer re-
sorts of the region
4. Prospective connections, This
road is to form part Of trunk line from Lake
Champlain to the seabord Its sister corpo-
ration in Vermont, is rapidly building the
Western division of the road, fiom Swanton
to the Connecticut River, and the entire line
when completed, will be the shortest connec-
tion between Ogdensb1rg, the great dis
trbuting point of the lakes, and tide water.
We offer these Bonds for the present ia denomina-
tions of $1,000 or $500, at
Ninety and Acc7'e1ed Interest

On the Both of June last there had been L. 9S
National Banks deposited securities of the United
States in the office previous to organization. The
total number of banks last June was 1889 -
There were 14l of these organized during the
year.
Negotiations of the new loan were had in the
chief cities of Great Britain, Saxony, Baden, Ba-
varia, Wurtemburg, Austria, Bohemia, Switzer-
land and France. Agents were sent to these
places with the bonds. TIE entire loan was dis
posed of. There are now no FIVE per cent. bonds
for sale, they having all been purchased.
The year passed Oft without the loss of single
cent of the government money by an employee
of the Treasury Department. This is source OF
congratulatiou. The price of gold is lower now
than it has been since the booming of cannon
and the cracking Of rifles ceased with the death OF
she rebellion. All praise is due Mr.. Boutwell,
for hisexcelIent management of the national 6nan-
ces. And he is not one of those who makes bis
wealth by bis eminent position. His circum-
stances and his salary do not justify him in keep
ing house. but he is content TO serve the Republic
faithfully by living with his family in a Wash
ington boradiug house.
