CONSUMPTION.

PICTORIAL. 1t has been known to the public about
forty years, by long continued series of marvel.
lous cures, that have won for it confidence in its
virtues, never equaed by ANY other medicine. 1t
still makes the most efectual cures of Coughs,
Colds Consumption, that can be made by medical
skill. Indeed the CHERRY PICTORIAL has really
robbed these dangerous diseases of their terrors,
TO a great extent, and given feeling of immunity
from their fatal effects, that is well founded, if the
remedy be taken in season. Every family should
have it in their closet for the ready and prompt
lief of its members. Sickness, suffering, and even
life is saved by this timely protection. The pru-
dent should not neglect it, and the wise will not.
Keep it by you for the protection it affords by its
timely use in sudden attacks.
