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

Among the great discoveries of modern science, few are of more real value to mankind than this ef- factual remedy for all diseases of the Throat and Lungs. A vast trial of it's virtues, throughout this and other countries, has shown that it does SuroIxy and offoofua1Iv

control them. The testimony of our best citi- zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that CHERRY PBcT0RAL 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- ton, cured by this preparation, are public ly 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. It 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 incurable, and too often fatal, if neglected Ten der lungs need this defence; and it is unwise to he without it. As safeguard to children, amid Hhs 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 OR them 1t acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds, securing sound and health-rest0ring sleep. No one will suffer troublesome Influenza and pain fal BEOnchitis, 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.

Newspapers Making History.

TWO OF our contemporaries, the NEW YORK
HERALD and the London Telegraph, have united in
orpanizing an expedition for prosecuting African
discovery, the command Of which is to be ntrusted
to Mr. Henry M. Stanley, the dscoverer Of Living
stone. The object Is to complete the work left
unfinished by the untimely death Of that great ex-
plorer; TO investigate the slave trade and, If pos
sible. to solve the remaining problems OF Central
African geography. The expedition Is to have o
first class equipment. and ample resources Will be
at the disposal of its commander for the successful
prosecution Of the work. Both OF our contempo-
raries announce this, and the energy and enter
prise which both display in opening new fields Of
research give promise Of abundant success in tnis

extended beyond the mere record OF history into

NJ J,

The facts have just leaked out In New Bruins
wick of brutal and shocking outrage perpetrated
week or so ago on the person OF a married
woman, the wife OF well known citizen, by
party OF three rufiians. IL appeared the woman
had been visiting q friend at the lower end OF Bur-
net street. and on her way home, about
nine O'Clock IN the evening, she was
suddenly pOunced upon by the three mis-
creants and subjected to their fendish
treatment, albeit being IN condition bordering
on maternity at the time. Since then the woman
has been in dangerous state Of illness, and there
is no certainty OF her recovery The matter Is in
the hands OF those who are exerting themselves TO
ferret out the brutal assailants The aTrar has
created widespread fear In the neighborhood, and
no woman feels safe now who happens to be
abroad after dusk sets I'd.
