CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve aud
cure the affecting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. Tile most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of Consumption,
cured by this preparation, arc publicly known,
so remarkable rs hardly to be believed, were
they not proven beyond dispute. AS a remedy,
it is adequate, on which tho public may rely
for full protection. BY curing Coughs, the
forerunners of more serious disease, it saves uii-
numbered lives, and an amount Of suffering not
to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and scon-
vinces tile most sceptica Every family should
keep it on hand rs q protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Alice
tons, which arc easily met at first, but which
become incurable, and too often fatal if neg

is unwisc to be without it. As u safeguard to
children, amid the distressing diseases which
beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
multitudes are rescued from premature graves,
and saved to the love and affection centred on
them. It acts speedily and surely against ordi-
nary colds, securing sound and health-rcstoring
sleep. No one will suffer Troublesome InnU.

how easily they can be cured.

OF uniform system of banking which has furnished
uniform medium OF circulation for the country and the
system Itself incomplete it Is In many respects has
guard and protection against ncacuable mischief and
loss. The system OF banking in existence before tho
need not now explain, was anomalous, 6urdensome,
expensive, and wholly unsatisfactory. Some OF the
states secured the bill-holders while others did
not; and the result was that the United states
as a whole and country, presented the anomaly OF
paper circulation good in some localities, but In very
large part OF its territory uncertain deprecated and
