control them. The testimony OF our best citi-
zens, OF all classes, establishes the fact that
CHERRY PKoroRAL 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 It's power; and cases of COnsump-
tiOn, cured by this preparation, public
ly known, 80 remarkable as hardly to be be-
lieyed, were they not proven beyond dispute.
As a remedy 1t is adequate on which the public
may rely for full protection. BY curing Coughs,
the forerunners Of more serious disease, 1t 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 1t on hand as protection against the early
and unperceived attack Of Pulmonary Affections,
which are easily met at first, but which become
incurabe, and too often fatal, IL neglected. lem
der lungs need this defence; and 1t Is unwiso TO
be without 1t. AS safeguard to children, amid
the distressing diseases which beset tho Throat
and Chest Of Childhood CHERRY PEcroRAL
is invaluable; for, by its timely use, multi
titudes rescued from premature graves, ana
saved to the love and affection centred on them.
It acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds,
securing sound and notwithstanding 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. 1t may be confidently re-
lied upon as possessing all the virtues II has ever
exhibited, and capable Of producing cures as
memorable as the greatest 1t has ever effected.

FOREIGN RAILROAD STORY.

A young lady bclonging to the
highest circles Of society IN Holland
met recently with a mysterious adj
venture which las excited good
deal of speculation. Having occa.
sion to 60 from Rotterdam to Utrecht,
and being alone, she took coupe for
herself. The instant tho tram started
q wcll.drcsscd gentleman Of distin-
que appearance jumped into the
coupe and seated himself opposite
the young lady. After the ex xpira, .on
of few minutes, the Intruder sud-
denly addressed his vis-a-ris with
tho words: "Matlemoiscllc, l must
ask you favor" "Me, sir?" "Ycs;
aud very great favor at that"
,"But do not know YOU" "Oh,
never mind; it will not inconvc-
nience you much, unless you should
refuse, and then'-hcre hc drew u

lady do? Pale with terror, she
promised an! thing he might ask.
SWELL" replied tho intruder, pulling
out q pocket handkerchief, 81 shall tie
this over your eyes. You must
neither move nor cry out until re-
move the handkerchief. That il all
1 desire of YOU" The young lady
suffered herself to be blinded. After
half an hours painful silence, which
seemed TO her century, the fright
ened girl was permitted to remove
the handkerchief. But who can de-
scribe her amazcment? Instead of q
gentleman, an elegantly dressed lady
sat before her. "Mademoisellc," she
said, in n most polite manner, "you
have rendered me ali Invaluable ser.

irving at the next station, the guard
opened the coupe, the stranger bow
cd and disappeared. In consequence
of the excitement the young lady
suffered many weeks from n nervou.
