Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs, such as
Coughs, Colds, Wnooping Cough,
Bronchitis, Asthma and
Consumption.

Among the great discoveries OF modern science,
few are of more real value TO mankind than this
effective remedy for all diseases of the thrat and
lungs. vast trial of its virtues, throughout this
and other countries, has shown that it does surely
and efectually control them. The testimony of
best citizens of all classes establishes the fact
that Cherry Pectoral will and does relieve and cure
the affecting disorders OF the throat and lungs be-
yond any other medicine. The most dangerous
affections of the pulmonary organs yield to its
power, and cases of consumption cured by this
preparation aro publicly Known, so remarkable as
hardly to be believed were they not proven beyond
dispute. As a remedy II is adequate, on which the
public may rely for full protection. By curing
coughs, the forerunners of more serious disease,
IL saves unnumbered lives and an amount of suf-
fering not TO be computed It challenges trial and
convinces the most sceptical Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unperceived attacks OF pulmonary affections,
which are easily met ST first but which become in
durable and too often fatal If neglected. Tender
lungs need this defence; and II is unwise to he
without e. As a safeguard TO children, amid he
distressing diseases which beset the throat and
chest Of childhood, Cherry PectOral is invauabl
for by its timely use multitudes are rescued from
premature graves and saved to the love and affec-
ton centred on them. 1t acts speedily and surely
against ordinary colds, securing sound and health
restoring sleep. No one viii suffer troublesome
influenza and painful bronchitis, when they know
how easily they can be cured.
Originally the prOductO of long, iaboriOus and sue
cessfu chemical investigation, no cost or toll is
spared in making every bottle in the utmost pos
sible aerfection. It may confidently be relied up
on as possessing all the virtues IT has ever eXhib-
tied and capable of producing cures as memorable
as the greatest it has ever effected.

HaZR VIGOR,

A dressing which is at once agreeable. healthy,
and eifectual for preserving the hair. 1t soon re
stores faded gray hair to its original color with
the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is
thlckened, fallen hair checked, and badness often
though not always cured by its use. Nothing can
restore the hair where the follices are destroyed
or the glands atrophied and decayed; but such as
rdmain can be saved by this application, and
stimulated into activity, SO that a new growth of
hair is produced Instead of fouling the hair with
pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigor-
Gus. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from
turning grey or falling off, and consequently pre-
vent badness. The restoration of vitality it
gives to the scalp arrests and prevents the fOrma-
ton of dandruf, which is often SO unceanIy and
offensive. Free from those deleterous. substaL.
ces which make some preparations dangerous
ana injurious to the hair the Vigor can only ben
eft but not harm it. If wanted merely for a
HAIR, DRESSING, nothing else can be found so
desirable. Containing neither Oil nor dye it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the
hair, giving it rich glossy lustre, and grateful
derfume.

SARSAPARILLA.

Is widely known as one of the most eIectual
and purifying the blood. 1t has stood the test of
years, with constantly growing reputation, bas-
ed on its intrinsic virtues and sustained by its re-
markable cures. So mild as to be safe and bene-
fetal 10 children, and yet searching as to eec-
tuay purge out the great corruptiOns of the blood
such as the scrofulous and syphilitic contamina-
ton. Impurities, or diseases that have urked in
the system for years, soon yield to its powerful
antidote, and disappear. Hence its wonderful
cures, many of which are publicly known, OF
SCROFULA and all scrofulous diseases, ,ULC GERS
ERUPTIONS, and eruptive disorders of the skin,
TUMORS, BLoTCHES, BOILS, PIMPLES, PUS-
TULES, SORES, ST. ANTHONY'S FIRE, ROSE
OR ERY SIPELAS, TETTER, SALT RHEUM,
SCALD HEAD, RINGWORM, and internal UL-
CERATIONS of the UTERUS, STOMACH, and
LIVER. 1t also cures other complaints, to which
it would not seem especially adapted, such as
DROPSY, DYSPEPSIA, FITS, NEURALGIA,
HEART DISEASE, FEMALE WEAKNESS, DE-
BILITY, and LEUCORRHEA, when they are
manifestations of the scrofuous poisons.
1t is an excellent restOrer of health and strength
in the spring. By renewing the appetite and Wig
OF of the digestive organs, IL dissiputes the depres
sion and nstless languor of the season. Even
where no disorder appears people feel better, and
live longer, for cleansing the blood. The system
moves on with renewed vigor and new lease of
life.
