The testimony of our best citi- zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and cure the af1icting disorders of the Throat and Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs yield to its PoweT;. and cases of COnsump- Qons cured by this preparation, are public !y known, so remarkable as hardly to be be- ieved, 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 unpercefved attack of Pulmonary Affections which are easily met at first, but which become lncurable, and too often fatal, if neglected Ten der lungs need this defence; and it is unwise to be without it. As safeguard to children, amid the distressing diseases which beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use, multi tudes are rescued from premature graves, and saved to the love and affection centred on them. It acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds, securing sound and health-restoring sleep. No one will suffer troublesome Influenza and pain full Bronchitis. 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- exhibited, and capable of producing cures as memorable as the greatest 1t has ever effected.

DR.. Holland writes in Scribner's :
"Of all the scamps society knows
the traditional Good Fellow is the
most despisahle. a man who for
the sake of his own selfish delights,
or for the sake of the praise of
careless or unprincipled friends,
makes home scene Of anxiety
and torture, and degrades and dis
graces all who are associated with
him in his own life, is, whether he
knows it or not, a brute. IL man
rannot be loyal to his home. and
those who love him, then he cannot
be loyal in anything that is good.
There is something mean beyond
description in any man who cares
more for anything in this world
than the honor, the confidence and
love of his family. There is some
thing radically wrong in such a
man, and the quicker and more
thoroughly he realizes it, in n
humiliation which bends him to
the earth in shame and confusion.
the better for him. The traditional
Good Fellow is bad fellow from
the crown Of his head to the sole
Of his foot. He is as weak as a
baby, as vain as peocock, selfish
as pig, and as unp,inrii led as a
thief He has not one redeeminr
trait upon With a reasonable self
respect can he built and braced.
