 control them. The testimony of our best citi- zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and cure the afflicting disorders of the Throat and Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs yield to its power; and cases of COnSump- tiOn, cured by this preparation, are public ly known, so remarkable as hardly to be be- lieved, were they not proven beyond dispute As a remedy it is adequate, on which the public may rely for full protection By curing Coughs, the forerunners of more serious disease, it saves not to be computed. It challenges trial, and con vnces the most sceptical. Every family should keep it on hand as protection against the early and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Affections, which are easily met at first, but which become ncurable, and too often fatal, if neglected. Ten der lungs need this defence; and it is unwise to be without it. As a safeguard 10 children, amid the distressing diseases which beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY PECToRAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use, multi tudes are rescued from premature graves, and saved to the love and affection centred on them. It acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds, securing sound and heaith-restoring sleep. No one will suffer troublesome Influenza and pain full Bronchitis, when they know how easily they can be cured.
 Originally the product of long, laborious, and successful chemical investigation, no cost or toll is spared in making every bottle in the utmost possible perfection. It may be confidently re- lied upon as possessing all the virtues it has ever exhibited, and capable of producing cures as memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.
