CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting 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-

" known, so remarkable as hardly to be be-
lieved, were they not proven beyond dispute.
As remedy it is adequate, on which the public
may rely for full protection. BY curing Coughs,
the forerunners of more serious disease, it saves
unnumbered lives, and an amount Of suffering
not to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces 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
incu-able, and too often fatal, if neglected Ten
der lungs need this defence; and it is unwise to
be without il. As q safeguard 10 children, amid
the distressing diseases which beset the Throat
and Chest Of childhood, CHERRY PICTORIAL
is invaluable; for, by its timely use, multi
tudes are rescued from premature graves, and
saved to the love and affection centred on them.
1t acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds,
securing sound and notwithstanding sleep. No
one will suffer troublesome Influenza and pain.

would be able TO secure. Besides, it IS
demonstrable, that the Holly Springs

connections equal to, aud in many points
superior, to any place heretofore eontem-
plated by its managers. Besides It's
Mississippi river connections. and with
the Nashville and Northwestern, direct
rail connection With ST. Louis may also
be set down as positive fact. Indeed.
we hear it stated, that both the St Louis
End Iron Mountain, and the Nashville
aud Northwestern roads would take lib
eral stock, to secure the extension Of the
Holly Springs and Brownsville road TO
this point We are, also. advised, that
the route terminating at Hickman woul6

him that liberal stock would be taken.
This Is the talk Of substantial citizens
