it is adequate, on which the public may rely

keep it on hand as protection against the early

become incurable, and too often fatal, if neg

is unwisc to be without it, As safeguard TO
children, amid the distressing diseases which
beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY

mutitudes are rescued from premature graves,
and saved to the love aud affection centred on

how easily they can be cured.
